Introduction to public health nutrition
HISTORY
Defined as the "great sanitary awakening"
It began with a focus on sanitation efforts to decrease the spread of communicable diseases
In the early 1900s, morbidity and mortality rates were high, especially among the working poor, infants, children, and mothers.
In 1972, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) began as a pilot program, and in 1975, it was funded as a permanent nutrition education and supplemental food program
In the 1970s and 1980s, several landmark documents were released that focused on the impor- tance of nutrition in the prevention of chronic diseases and to provide dietary guidance for the U.S. population
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in 1988 and expanded the roles of public health nutritionists at the federal level working with states and other agencies to decrease chronic disease.
PLAN OF ACTION
Set national goals and measurable objectives to guide evidence-based policies, programs, and other actions to improve health and well-being.
Provide tools for the public, programs, policy-makers, and others to evaluate progress toward improving health and well-being.
Share and support the implementation of evidence-based programs and policies that are repli-
cable, scalable, and sustainable.
FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES
Promoting health and well-being and preventing disease are linked efforts that encompass physical, mental, and social health dimensions.
Healthy physical, social, and economic environments strengthen the potential to achieve health and well-being.
Working to attain the full potential for health and well-being of the population is a component of decision-making and policy formulation across all sectors.
OVERACHIEVING GOALS
Eliminate health disparities, achieve health equity, and attain health literacy to improve the health and well-being of all.
Engage leadership, key constituents, and the public across multiple sectors to take action and
design policies that improve the health and well-being of all.
Attain healthy, thriving lives and well-being, free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death.
FUTURE TRENDS
The panel outlined a global need for research, improved technology, and strong collaborations between academia and both pri- vate and public sectors to find solutions to malnutrition, both under- and overnutrition, and other nutrition-related health problems.
once formed, the collaborations would need to be guided by shared ethical principles, transpar- ency, and open communication.
Another key area of future focus for the PHN workforce is leadership development to ensure organization-, community-, policy-, and systems-level competencies to promote health and prevent nutrition-related diseases for populations.
