| |
Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this course you should be able to:
- Describe evidence linking diet and physical activity to bone health in children
and adolescents.
- Describe how fracture incidence in children and adolescents has changed over the
last generation, and identify at least two possible explanations for this change.
- Identify lifestyle and dietary factors that are related to suboptimal bone health.
- Identify at least one way to better assess calcium intake and weight bearing activity
with clients.
The slide portion of this course will take about 30 minutes to complete and will
cover the background research on bone health in children and adolescence, dietary
factors involved in bone health, calcium recommendations versus actual intakes in
the U.S., and non-dietary factors involved in bone health. The slides include practical
suggestions for assessing calcium intake and physical activity and tips on how to
encourage clients to change their lifestyle to improve their bone health.
Written
course materials to supplement the PowerPoint presentation are also included. Listening
to the PowerPoint and reviewing the additional course materials is worth 3 continuing
education credits.
