Presentation Transcript

  1. Diet and Health Chapter 18

  2. Nutrition and Infectious Diseases • Nutrition cannot directly prevent or cure infectious diseases • Good nutrition can strengthen body’s defenses • Poor nutrition weakens the immune system

  3. The Immune System • Body’s first line of defense • Skin, mucous membranes, GI tract • Antigens • Examples • Two types of white blood cells • Phagocytes • Lymphocytes

  4. The Immune System • Phagocytes • Scavengers of immune system • First to arrive at the scene of an invader • Phagocytosis • Engulf and digest antigen • Secrete cytokines

  5. The Immune System • Lymphocytes – B-cells • Rapidly divide and produce antibodies • Travel through bloodstream to site of infection • Stick to surfaces of antigens • Make it easy for phagocytes to ingest • Antibodies react selectively • Retain a memory

  6. The Immune System • Lymphocytes – T-cells • Travel directly to invasion site • Recognize antigens on surface of phagocyte cells • T-cells multiply in response • Release chemicals to destroy antigen • Signal to slow down immune response • Highly specific • Organ transplants

  7. Nutrition and Immunity • Immune system responds to subtle changes in nutrition status • Synergistic downward spiral • Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) • Impaired immunity • Vitamin and mineral deficiencies & excesses • Diminish immune response

  8. Nutrition and Immunity

  9. Effects of PEM on the Body’s Defense Systems

  10. HIV/AIDS • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) • Develops into acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) • Transmitted by direct contact with body fluids • No cure • Prevention is best course • Nutrition benefits for HIV/AIDS patients • Food safety is critical

  11. Inflammation and Chronic Diseases • Immune system response to infection or injury • Acute inflammation • Phagocytes engulf microbes • Release of oxidative products to kill microbes • Inflammation fights off infection and promotes recovery • Chronic inflammation • Harmful

  12. Nutrition and Chronic Diseases • Leading causes of death in U.S. • Relationship with diet • Chronic diseases • Interrelationships among chronic diseases • Numerous disease associations with various nutrients • Multiple risk factors for each chronic disease • Modifiable risk factors • Nonmodifiable risk factors

  13. Ten Leading Causes of Death in the U.S.

  14. Interrelationships among Chronic Diseases

  15. Risk Factors and Chronic Diseases

  16. Cardiovascular Disease • Major causes of death around the world • Family history • Lifestyle factors • Coronary heart disease (CHD) is most common form • Usually caused by atherosclerosis

  17. Cardiovascular Disease • Atherosclerosis development • Accumulation of fatty streaks along inner arterial walls • Streaks enlarge and harden • Encasement in fibrous connective tissue • Plaques stiffen arteries and narrow passages • Well-developed plaques by age 30 • Dietary factors

  18. Cardiovascular Disease • Atherosclerosis development • Inflammation • Damage to cells lining the blood vessels elicits inflammatory response • Immune system sends in macrophages • LDL cholesterol becomes trapped and engulfed by macrophages • Macrophages swell; eventually become cells of plaque

  19. Cardiovascular Disease • Atherosclerosis development • Inflammation • Aneurysm • C-reactive protein (CRP) • Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) or LP-PLA(2) • Plaques • Plaque stability – rupture

  20. Cardiovascular Disease • Atherosclerosis development • Blood clots • Platelets and other factors form blood clots • Prostaglandins and thromboxanes • Omega-3 fatty acids • Blood pressure • Plaques increase pressure • Atherosclerosis is a self-accelerating process

  21. Cardiovascular Disease • Atherosclerosis development • The results • Heart attack • Transient ischemic attack (TIA)

  22. Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) • By middle age, most adults have at least one risk factor • Regular screening and early detection

  23. Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) • Age, gender, and family history • Nonmodifiable risk factors • Older vs. younger people • Men vs. women • Early CHD in immediate family members

  24. Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) • High LDL and low HDL cholesterol • Total cholesterol • LDL – most atherogenic lipoproteins • Plaque instability • Inflammatory process • HDL indicate a reduced risk of atherosclerosis

  25. Standards for CHD Risk Factors

  26. Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) • High blood pressure (hypertension) • Relationship with heart disease risk holds true for men, women, young, and old • Injures artery walls • Accelerates plaque formation • Diabetes • Increases risk of death from CHD

  27. Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) • Obesity and physical inactivity • Increase risk for CHD • High LDL, low HDL, hypertension, & diabetes • Cigarette smoking • Smoking damages the heart directly • Toxins in cigarette smoke damages vessels • Atherogenic diet • Elevates LDL cholesterol

  28. Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) • Other risk factors • Elevated triglycerides • VLDL • Measurement of triglycerides • Metabolic syndrome • Cluster of health risks • Markers of inflammation and thrombosis

  29. Recommendations for Reducing CHD Risk • Screening • Cholesterol screening • Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides • Two measurements at least 1 week apart • Intervention • Lifestyle changes • Physical activity, dietary changes, lose weight, reduce exposure to cigarette smoke • Medications

  30. Hypertension • Systolic and diastolic pressure with risk of death from CVD • Physiological factors of hypertension • Cardiac output • Heart rate or blood volume increases • Peripheral resistance • Diameters of arterioles • Regulated by nervous system & hormones • Kidneys

  31. Hypertension • Risk factors • Aging • Genetics • Obesity • Salt sensitivity • Alcohol • Treatment • Weight control • Physical activity • DASH diet • Lowers LDL & total cholesterol • Salt/sodium intake • Drug therapy

  32. Diabetes Mellitus • Incidence has risen dramatically • Prediabetes • Sixth among leading causes of death • Underlies or contributes to several other major diseases • Heart disease is leading cause of diabetes-related deaths

  33. Prevalence of Diabetes among Adults in the United States

  34. Diabetes Mellitus • Diabetes development • Characteristics • High blood glucose concentrations • Disordered insulin metabolism • Two main types • Type 1 • Type 2

  35. Features of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

  36. Diabetes Mellitus • Type 1 diabetes • Less common type • Autoimmune disorder • Pancreas loses ability to synthesize insulin • Commonly occurs in childhood & adolescence • Energy metabolism changes • May threaten survival • Need insulin injections or external pump

  37. Diabetes Mellitus • Type 2 diabetes • Most prevalent form of diabetes • Exact cause is unknown • Risk factors • Insulin resistance • Hyperinsulinemia • Amount of insulin is insufficient to compensate for diminished effect in cells • Chronic inflammation

  38. Diabetes Mellitus • Complications • Acute • Chronic • Conversion of glucose to sugar alcohols • Loss of circulation and nerve function • Infections • Diseases of large blood vessels • Diseases of small blood vessels • Diseases of the nerves

  39. Metabolic Consequences of Untreated Diabetes

  40. Diabetes Mellitus • Recommendations for diabetes • Total carbohydrate intake • Carbohydrate sources • Fiber and sugar • Glycemic index • Dietary fat • Protein • Kidney function

  41. Diabetes Mellitus • Recommendations for diabetes • Alcohol • Moderation • Type 1 diabetes • Adjust insulin to accommodate meals, physical activity, and health status • Nutrition therapy • Type 2 diabetes • Diet and regular moderate physical activity

  42. Cancer • Second leading cause of death in U.S. • Development of cancer – carcinogenesis • Mutations in genes that control cell division • Effects of mutations • As tumor develops, a network of blood vessels develops • Metastasis • Causes

  43. Cancer Development

  44. Normal cells Malignant cells Normal cells Further tumor development Initiation Promotion Promoters enhance the development of abnormal cells, resulting in formation of a tumor. Mutagens alter the DNA in a cell and induce abnormal cell division. The cancerous tumor releases cells into the bloodstream or lymphatic system (metastasis). Stepped Art Fig. 18-6, p. 626

  45. Cancer • Development of cancer – carcinogenesis • Environmental factors • Sun, water, air pollution, and smoking • Obesity • Exposure to estrogen

  46. Cancer • Development of cancer – carcinogenesis • Dietary factors – cancer initiators • Alcohol and tobacco use • Cooking meats at high temperatures • Grilling meats • Diets high in red meats & processed meats • Presence of acrylamide

  47. Cancer • Development of cancer – carcinogenesis • Dietary factors – cancer promoters • Types of fat in diet • Dietary factors – antipromoters

  48. Factors Associated with Cancer at Specific Sites

  49. Cancer • Recommendations for reducing cancer risks • Fruit and vegetable intake • Phytochemical protective benefits • Rich sources of fiber • Fruits, vegetables, legumes, & whole grains • Maintenance of healthy body weight • Physical activity

  50. Recommendations for Chronic Diseases • Comparison with Dietary Guidelines for Americans • Healthy Eating Pyramid • Links between diet and health • Weight control • Diet • Individualized recommendations • Human genome
