Pediatric Nutrition in Practice 2nd, revised edition
There is no other time in life when the provision of adequate and balanced nutrition
is of greater importance than during infancy and childhood. During this dynamic
phase characterized by rapid growth, development and developmental plasticity, a
sufficient amount and appropriate composition of nutrients both in health and dis-
ease are of key importance for growth, functional outcomes such as cognition and
immune response, and the metabolic programming of long-term health and well-
being.
This compact reference text provides concise information to readers who seek quick
guidance on practical issues in the nutrition of infants, children and adolescents.
After the success of the first edition, which sold more than 50,000 copies in several
languages, the editors prepared this thoroughly revised and updated second edition
which focuses again on nutritional challenges in both affluent and poor populations
around the world. Serving as a practical reference guide, this book will contribute to
further improving the quality of feeding of healthy infants and children, as well as
enhancing the standards of nutritional care in sick children.
