Nmami Life App- What Aspects of your Personal & Medical History Taken into Account
By Nmami Life Editorial 10-Jun 2020 Reading Time: 4 Mins
A precise and effective diet plan can be designed when we know about the person’s past medical history. Improvements in diet can only be brought when we know about person’s nutritional status and other minor details like eating habits, likes, dislikes, preferences.
A person’s nutritional status can be evaluated by using and integrating information obtained from a previous medical history, family history and a social history. Many complaints such as fatigue, headaches, and digestive disturbances can be improved by bringing simple changes in diet and dietary counselling works well if the patient’s history or medical conditions are known to the dietitian. Nutrition also plays a pivotal role in prevention. This is the reason why nutritional assessment becomes especially important which includes many aspects such as:
- Age of the person
- Recent loss of 10% or more of usual body weight
- Regular exercise regime and/or sedentary lifestyle
- Alcoholism or intake of drugs such as steroids, immunosuppressants
- Recent Infection, protracted fever, or previous trauma episode
- Any malabsorption syndromes, draining abscesses, renal dialysis
- Receiving simple intravenous solutions without oral intake for >10 days
While taking case history, we have three major categories namely:
- Basic Information:
