Nutritional adequacy of reported intake of edentulous subjects treated with new conventional or implant-supported mandibular dentures
The nutrient content of the diet of edentulous patients who have various oral prostheses is of concern. This study compared baseline food records to those records kept semiannually for 3 years after treatment to ascertain whether nutrient intake of edentulous patients changed after they received new implant-supported mandibular dentures ( n =41) or new conventional dentures ( n =30). No significant differences in intake of calories or of 27 nutrients were noted between the two groups ( p >0.01). A decline in the percent of calories from fat with a corresponding increase in carbohydrate calories within both groups ( p p 6 and/or magnesium. Intakes were similar to those reported for two age-matched populations.
This paper reviews the dietary feeding practices employed for the production of the major cultured fed species, the total global production and market availability of the major feed ingredient sources used and the major constraints to feed ingredient usage, and recommends approaches to feed ingredient selection and usage for the major species of cultivated fish and crustacean. Emphasis is placed on the need for major producing countries to maximize the use of locally available feed-grade ingredient sources, and, in particular, to select and use those nutritionally sound and safe feed ingredient sources whose production and growth can keep pace with the 8 to 10 percent annual average annual growth of the fed finfish and crustacean aquaculture sector.
