Course Description

This course is focused on the changing nutrition needs and eating behaviors during three distinct phases of the life cycle: (1) women during the preconception period and pregnancy, children's infancy, and childhood (0-21 years old), (2) adulthood, and (3) nutrition of the elderly population. For each of these phases, we will study the biological basis of energy, nutrient, and water needs and selected methods of health assessment.
