Читать книгу Nutrition and Growth - Группа авторов - Страница 8

In the present Nutrition and Growth Yearbook, an international group of experts in nutrition, metabolism, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and auxology joined together to select for our readers some of the important manuscripts published between July 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019, dealing with issues related to children’s growth, especially those manuscripts that deal with the interaction between nutrition and growth.

Children’s growth is a common concern to all health care providers treating neonates, infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents. Defining the best nutrition for healthy and active children as well as for those who suffer from acute or chronic disease, considering subgroups defined by age or other relevant determinants, is relevant to the child, his care givers, and to health care providers dealing with the pediatric age group.

In this Yearbook, associate editors tried to choose manuscripts published during the last year that provided a significant contribution to our knowledge base. They looked for manuscripts that they believe are important and informative and wrote their comments on each of them aiming to highlight lessons that can be learnt.

We are sure there are more important studies and apologize that, because of lack of space, we could not include all of them.

We hope that this book will help all subspecialties of health care providers in the pediatric age group to get updated on some of the key issues dealt with in these manuscripts. We encourage readers to review the full manuscripts that are of interest to them whenever possible.
