Amanda Porter MF3 Endocrinology
Tutorial

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition / Week 4

Objectives

Investigation of the role of nutrition in disease prevention and treatment, students should explore the role of specific roles of bioactive nutrient and non-nutrient compounds and the potential for gene-nutrient interactions.
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

Describe the role of foods and nutrients in the prevention and management of chronic disease, with a focus on type 2 diabetes, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and some cancers.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

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.
