Book Description
Excerpt from Practical Dietetics: With Reference to Diet in Disease This work has been revised wherever necessary to incorporate the latest results of research in dietetics and embraces all the latest diets of leading physicians and hospitals. The continuous demand for this work since its last complete revision in 1910 has resulted in the publication of successive editions almost annually until the time became ripe for another complete revision. The present edition, while preserving as far as possible the original plan of the work, incorporates a large amount of new material in harmony with the latest developments in the science and art of dietetics. Many sections on the treatment of the sick have been entirely rewritten to conform with present hospital practice. The author takes this opportunity to acknowledge with thanks the valuable advice and assistance given by Mary Swartz Rose, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Nutrition. Teachers' College, Columbia University, New York City. For suggestions and permission to use certain diets the author wishes to express her hearty appreciation to: Dr. Frederick M. Allen, Physician to the Hospital of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York. Dr. Herbert S. Carter, Consulting Physician to the Lincoln Hospital, Associate in Medicine at Columbia University and Assistant Visiting Physician to the Presbyterian Hospital, New York.

Book Description
Malnutrition and obesity are both common among Americans over age 65. There are also a host of other medical conditions from which older people and other Medicare beneficiaries suffer that could be improved with appropriate nutritional intervention. Despite that, access to a nutrition professional is very limited. Do nutrition services benefit older people in terms of morbidity, mortality, or quality of life? Which health professionals are best qualified to provide such services? What would be the cost to Medicare of such services? Would the cost be offset by reduced illness in this population? This book addresses these questions, provides recommendations for nutrition services for the elderly, and considers how the coverage policy should be approached and practiced. The book discusses the role of nutrition therapy in the management of a number of diseases. It also examines what the elderly receive in the way of nutrition services along the continuum of care settings and addresses the areas of expertise needed by health professionals to provide appropriate nutrition services and therapy.
