Objectives

During the past decade, rapid expansion in a number of relevant scientific fields and, in particular, in the amount of population-based epidemiological evidence has helped to clarify the role of diet in preventing and controlling morbidity and premature mortality resulting from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Dietary practices likely play a major role in 7/10 top causes of disease and death including: heart disease, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis and certain cancers. The mechanisms of the chronic disease process are clearer, and interventions have been demonstrated to reduce risk. In MF3, the overall objective is to learn normal nutrition and metabolism and to begin to understand the role of diet and specific nutrients and bioactive components of foods in disease prevention and treatment, and some of the major research that underlies dietary recommendations.

Ability to describe an approach to disease prevention and health promotion.
Framework Objectives

Participation in population-based disease-prevention/health-promotion activities.
Framework Objectives

Recognition that individual-based approaches may be at variance with population-based approaches to disease prevention/health promotion (resources, ethical frameworks, etc.).
Framework Objectives

The learner will be able to identify what health-promotion and disease-prevention activities are appropriate to particular populations, using the Canadian Task Force A and B recommendations. (The learner should know the A and B recommendations with a high burden of illness and the important/controversial C and I recommendations. See the Canadian Task Force Web site for the listing http://www.ctfphc.org/.)
Framework Objectives

The learner will be able to demonstrate how to introduce health-promotion and disease-prevention activities into the clinical encounter:
