[Education on nutrition: from the university to specialized care]. / Formación en Nutrición: de la universidad a la especialidad.

The 7th Abbott-SENPE Forum is structured facing the new regulations of the European Space of High Education regarding the studies on Nutrition in the different degrees (Medicine, Pharmacology, Nutrition, Nursing) and post-doctoral education. A multi-professional and multidisciplinary discussion on the current situation of university education on nutrition, and its capabilities and limitations, is carried out. The value of the role of continuous medical education, the inhouse training programme, masters, and of scientific societies is also assessed. It is concluded that there is a need to urge academic authorities, the National Commission of Medical Specialties, the persons in charge of continuous medical education, and scientific societies of the importance of the studies relating to nutrition, feeding, and dietetics at both pre-graduate and post-graduate educational levels, and to implement and develop these studies in their areas of influence.

Formación en Nutrición: de la universidad a la especialidad / Education on Nutrition: Drom the university to specialized care

De cara a las nuevas normas del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior en su relación con los estudios de nutrición tanto en los diferentes grados (medicina, farmacia, nutrición, enfermería) como en el postgrado, se estructura el VIIo FORO Abbott-SENPE. Se efectúa una reflexión multiprofesional y multidisciplinar sobre la actual situación de la formación universitaria en nutrición, sus posibilidades y límites. También se valora el papel de la formación continuada, del sistema de residencia, de los másteres y de las sociedades científicas. Se concluye en instar a las autoridades académicas, a la Comisión Nacional de Especialidades, a los responsables de formación continuada y a las sociedades científicas a reflexionar sobre la importancia de los estudios relacionados con la nutrición, alimentación y dietética tanto en el pregrado como en el postgrado y a implementarlos y desarrollarlos en sus áreas de influencia (AU)

[Comparison of dietary reference intakes (DRI) between different countries of the European Union, The United States and the World Health Organization]. / Comparativa de las Ingestas Dietéticas de Referencia (IDR) de los diferentes países de la Unión Europea, de Estados Unidos (EEUU) y de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS).

BACKGROUND: In Spain, there are some organizations and scientific societies that have edited reference values of recommended nutrient intake, but whose data does not always agree in terms of format and content. AIMS: To review the definitions, data and methodology that other countries or groups of countries have followed to obtain and document their own reference values in order to offer basic information to facilitate the establishment of the best reference values for the Spanish population. FIELD: Review of the available information in different countries (or groups of countries) from the European Union, the United States and World Health Organization. The analysed data concerned to healthy populations. CONCLUSIONS: Reference intakes differ among the examined countries according to population groups, included nutrients, methodology and frequency of published reviews. However, most of the countries define major concepts in the same way, although with different names in each country. On the other hand, most of the studied cases represent only a scientific organization in charge of the publication and update of the values of dietary reference intakes, but not in Spain. In that context, it looks convenient to reach a consensus among all Spanish organizations and scientific societies that are involved in this task, in order to establish an acceptable reference values.

Antecedentes: En España, existen varios organismos y sociedades científicas que han editado sus propios de valores de referencia sobre la ingesta recomendada de nutrientes, que no siempre coinciden en los contenidos y formas presentadas. Objetivo: Revisar los conceptos, datos y la metodología que han seguido otros países o grupos de países para obtener y documentar sus propios Valores de Referencia, con objeto de ofrecer una información básica que facilite el establecimiento de los valores de referencia que mejor puedan adaptarse a la población española, en base a la mejor evidencia científica disponible en la actualidad. Ámbito: Revisión de la información disponible en los distintos países (o grupos de países) de la Unión Europea, Estados Unidos y la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Los datos estudiados corresponden a poblaciones sanas. Conclusiones: Las ingestas de referencia difieren notablemente entre los distintos países estudiados en cuanto a grupos de población, tipo de nutrientes incluidos, metodología y periodicidad de las revisiones publicadas. Sin embargo, la mayoría definen de manera semejante los conceptos más importantes, aunque tengan distintas denominaciones en cada país. Por otro lado, en la mayoría de los casos estudiados existe un único organismo científico encargado de la publicación y actualización de los valores de ingestas dietéticas de referencia, no siendo así en España. En este contexto, parece conveniente alcanzar un acuerdo entre todos los organismos y sociedades científicas españolas implicadas en esta tarea, con objeto de establecer unos valores de referencia únicos para todo el país, con el consenso de todos (AU)

Dietas adelgazantes / Slimming diets

La intervención dietética tiene como objetivos: alcanzar un balance energético negativo, conseguir un peso saludable en la persona obesa y lograr la instauración de hábitos alimentarios saludables para mantener el peso perdido a largo plazo. Considerando el tratamiento dietético de la obesidad un proceso que se mantiene por largos periodos de tiempo, la intervención dietética deberá ser realizada en función de las características fisiopatológicas y psicosociales de la persona obesa. Además, la terapia dietética deberá ser equilibrada, saludable y adaptada a las preferencias alimentarias del paciente. A lo largo de los años, debido a la necesidad y búsqueda de una pérdida de peso rápida, se han originado, creado e inventado dietas mágicas que se han hecho populares y que carecen de eficacia comprobada y rigor científico. Este trabajo, hace referencia a la dieta hipocalórica equilibrada y revisa las dietas adelgazantes más conocidas y llevadas a cabo por la población obesa y/o con sobrepeso. (AU)
