No guidelines exist regarding nutrition assessment for transgender or gender non-conforming patients. Multiple nutrition assessment methods utilize gender-specific values that provide distinct recommendations for males and females. This clinical case series depicts the food and nutrition considerations of ten adult transgender men using anthropometric, survey, and dietary recall data. Male reference values were used to analyze patient data, though multiple approaches to nutrition assessment in the transgender population are discussed. Major nutrition-related concerns were obesity, low fruit and vegetable intake and high sodium intake; disordered eating was not a prominent concern. Further research is needed to inform nutrition care for the transgender and gender non-conforming populations.
目前针对跨性别或性别不一致患者的营养评估尚无相关指导原则。多种营养评估方法使用特定于性别的数值,这些数值为男性和女性提供了不同的建议。本临床病例系列通过人体测量、调查和膳食回忆数据描述了十名成年跨性别男性的饮食和营养考虑因素。虽然讨论了跨性别人群中多种营养评估方法,但仍使用男性参考值来分析患者数据。主要的营养相关问题包括肥胖、水果和蔬菜摄入量低以及钠摄入量高;饮食失调并不是一个突出的问题。需要进一步的研究为跨性别和性别不一致人群的营养护理提供信息。
