Nutrition is a major determinant of health throughout all stages of life and together with smoking is the most important risk factor for morbidity and mortality in the Asia Pacific Region. The workshop participants examined Dietary Guidelines and Food Guides that are in use in our region, together with additional materials from the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the World Cancer Research Foundation. The resulting set of guidelines is meant as a reminder of the main issues to be covered in a general public health education program. It may also be of value in reminding public health practitioners, educators, administrators, and policy makers of current nutrition issues. It may additionally be useful as a checklist of the issues to be considered in public health programs and regulations. The main areas of nutrition that are included in the Guidelines are eating a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits, whole grain cereals, and nuts. Choose fish, poultry, and meats grown in a sustainable way. Appropriate growth, including avoiding obesity, and physical activity are important. Breastfeeding is the basis of infant nutrition and nutrition of mothers is an important public health measure. Negative factors in the Asian diet include salt, refined sugar, alcohol and fats. The APACPH Dietary Guidelines will need to be kept under review and modified to meet regional differences in food supply. The Guidelines will be useful as a checklist of the issues to be considered in public health programs, addressing both acute and chronic diseases.
营养是生命各阶段健康的主要决定因素,并且与吸烟一起,是亚太地区发病和死亡的最重要风险因素。研讨会参与者研究了本地区正在使用的膳食指南和食物指南,以及来自世界卫生组织、联合国儿童基金会和世界癌症研究基金会的其他材料。由此产生的这套指南旨在提醒大众健康教育计划中需要涵盖的主要问题。它可能还对提醒公共卫生从业者、教育工作者、管理人员和政策制定者当前的营养问题具有价值。此外,它还可作为公共卫生计划和法规中需考虑问题的清单。指南中包含的主要营养领域包括食用各种食物,包括蔬菜、水果、全谷物谷类和坚果。选择以可持续方式养殖的鱼类、家禽和肉类。适当生长,包括避免肥胖,以及身体活动都很重要。母乳喂养是婴儿营养的基础,母亲的营养是一项重要的公共卫生措施。亚洲饮食中的负面因素包括盐、精制糖、酒精和脂肪。亚太公共卫生协会膳食指南需要不断审查和修订,以适应食物供应方面的地区差异。该指南将作为公共卫生计划中需考虑问题的清单很有用,可同时应对急性和慢性疾病。
