商品描述
This book analyzes biological and sociocultural factors that influence nutritional status, physical growth, development and maturation of children and adolescents in Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries in the perspective of human ecology. Chapters in this book bring together both theoretical and empirical studies that take into account human biological and environmental conditions to understand how ethnic diversity, culturally determined lifestyle and dietary habits influence biological variation of human growth and nutrition in nine LAC countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru.
The book is divided into three sections. Chapters in the first section analyze nutritional and epidemiological aspects of child growth in the region. Articles in the second section focus on methods to evaluate human growth, development, and maturation. Finally, the third section brings together a series of studies representing different LAC countries, analyzing biocultural impacts on child growth and nutrition. By bringing together studies about the relationship between human biology, cultural diversity, nutrition and health in a region with huge environmental challenges, this volume addresses many of the challenges to achieve the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 3 (Good Health and Well-Being). Chapters in this volume present and discuss data on the effects of malnutrition on children's and adolescent's health and development, such as chronic undernutrition or stunting (growth deficit) and excess weight (overweight and obesity) as the risk factors for child morbidity and mortality m due to non-communicable diseases.
Human Growth and Nutrition in Latin American and Caribbean Countries will be a valuable resource for both students and researchers in different disciplines dedicated to the interdisciplinary research on the intersection betweenhuman biology, cultural diversity, nutrition and health. It will also be a useful source of information for both health professionals and policy makers developing and implementing interventions and public policies to achieve UN's SDGs 2 and 3, particularly in the LAC regions.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書分析了影響拉丁美洲和加勒比海(LAC)國家兒童和青少年營養狀況、身體成長、發展和成熟的生物學及社會文化因素,並從人類生態學的角度進行探討。本書的各章節匯集了理論與實證研究,考量人類的生物和環境條件,以理解民族多樣性、文化決定的生活方式和飲食習慣如何影響九個LAC國家(阿根廷、巴西、智利、古巴、多明尼加共和國、薩爾瓦多、危地馬拉、墨西哥和秘魯)的人類成長和營養的生物變異。
本書分為三個部分。第一部分的章節分析了該地區兒童成長的營養和流行病學方面。第二部分的文章專注於評估人類成長、發展和成熟的方法。最後,第三部分匯集了一系列來自不同LAC國家的研究,分析生物文化對兒童成長和營養的影響。通過匯集有關人類生物學、文化多樣性、營養和健康之間關係的研究,本書針對在面臨巨大環境挑戰的地區,探討了實現聯合國可持續發展目標2(消除飢餓)和3(良好健康與福祉)的諸多挑戰。本書的各章節呈現並討論了營養不良對兒童和青少年健康及發展的影響數據,例如慢性營養不良或生長遲緩(生長缺陷)以及超重(過重和肥胖)作為非傳染性疾病導致兒童發病率和死亡率的風險因素。
《拉丁美洲和加勒比國家的人體成長與營養》將成為不同學科學生和研究人員在專注於人類生物學、文化多樣性、營養和健康交叉領域的跨學科研究中的寶貴資源。對於開發和實施干預措施及公共政策以實現聯合國可持續發展目標2和3的健康專業人員和政策制定者而言,這本書也將是一個有用的信息來源,特別是在LAC地區。
