Balanced Diet - Park's Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine

(Park's Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine)

Definition

A diet is defined as the kinds of food on which a person or group lives.
A balanced diet is defined as one which contains a variety of foods in such quantities and proportions that the need for energy, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrate and other nutrients is adequately met for maintaining health, vitality and general well-being, and also makes a small provision for extra nutrients to withstand short duration of leanness.
A balanced diet has become an accepted means to safeguard a population from nutritional deficiencies.

Principles of Constructing a Balanced Diet

In constructing a balanced diet, the following principles should be borne in mind:
PriorityNutrientProportion of Daily Energy Intake
(a) FirstProtein10-15% of daily energy intake
(b) SecondFat15-30% of daily energy intake
(c) ThirdCarbohydrates (rich in natural fibre)Remaining food energy
  • Micronutrient requirements (vitamins and minerals per RDA Tables) must also be met.

Dietary Guidelines (Exam-Important Points)

(a) Diet should be based on variety of foods, mostly from plant sources.
(b) Bread, other cereals and potatoes should be eaten several times a day - they form the base of the food pyramid.
(c) A variety of vegetables and fruits should be eaten - preferably fresh and local - several times per day (minimum 400 g/day recommended).
(d) Sources rich in energy such as fats and alcohol should be restricted.
(e) Salt intake should be reduced to an average of not more than 5 g/day (note: in India, salt intake averages 15 g/day).
(f) Protein should account for approximately 10-15% of the daily intake.
(g) Junk foods (colas, ketchups, and other foods that supply empty calories) should be reduced.
Special conditions: Diet should be adapted to the special needs of growth, pregnancy, lactation, physical activity, and medical disorders (e.g., diabetes).

The Food Guide Pyramid

The Food Guide Pyramid - Park's Textbook
The pyramid (Fig. 1, Park's) organizes foods from base to apex by recommended servings:
LevelFood GroupServings/Day
Base (largest)Bread, cereal, rice, pasta6-11 servings
2ndVegetables3-5 servings
2ndFruits2-4 servings
3rdMilk, yoghurt, cheese2-3 servings
3rdMeat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, nuts2-3 servings
Apex (smallest)Fats, oils, sweetsUse sparingly

  • Folate: 500 μg/day
  • Vitamin D: 600 IU/day

Key Exam One-Liners

  1. Balanced diet definition - variety of foods meeting all nutrient needs + small provision for leanness
  2. Protein % in balanced diet = 10-15% of daily energy
  3. Fat % in balanced diet = 15-30% of daily energy
  4. Salt - not more than 5 g/day (India average is 15 g/day)
  5. Fruits & vegetables - minimum 400 g/day
  6. Food pyramid base = Bread/cereal/rice/pasta (6-11 servings)
  7. RDA iron - women > men due to menstrual losses (29 mg vs 19 mg)
  8. Junk foods supply empty calories - should be reduced

Types of Epidemic and Epidemic Curve - Park's PSM KNRUHS Exam Diagram

Here is the complete written notes from Park's Textbook for KNRUHS exam:

TYPES OF EPIDEMIC - Park's PSM

Definition of Epidemic

Occurrence of disease in excess of normal expectancy in a defined population, at a given time.

Classification (3 Major Types - Park's)

A. COMMON-SOURCE EPIDEMICS

(a) Single Exposure / POINT-SOURCE Epidemic

  • Exposure to disease agent is brief and essentially simultaneous
  • All cases develop within ONE incubation period
  • Epidemic curve: Single sharp bell-shaped peak, rises and falls rapidly
  • No secondary waves
  • Example: Food poisoning, Bhopal gas tragedy, Minamata disease (methyl mercury in fish)
Main features of point-source epidemic:
  1. Epidemic curve rises and falls rapidly with no secondary waves
  2. Epidemic is explosive - cases cluster within a narrow time interval
  3. All cases develop within one incubation period
Median incubation period = time required for 50% of cases to occur following exposure

(b) Continuous / Multiple Exposure Epidemic

  • Exposure from same source is prolonged, repeated, or intermittent
  • Epidemic is more extended or irregular
  • Continues beyond range of ONE incubation period
  • No secondary cases from person-to-person contact
  • Examples: Legionnaire's disease (Philadelphia, 1976), contaminated well, nationally distributed food/vaccine

B. PROPAGATED EPIDEMICS

  • Results from person-to-person transmission of infectious agent
  • Gradual rise, tails off over a much longer period
  • Transmission continues until susceptibles are depleted
  • Multiple successive peaks, each separated by one incubation period
  • Speed of spread depends on:
    • Herd immunity
    • Opportunities for contact
    • Secondary attack rate
  • More likely where large numbers of susceptibles are aggregated
  • Examples: Hepatitis A, Polio
Sub-types:
  • (a) Person-to-person
  • (b) Arthropod vector (malaria, dengue)
  • (c) Animal reservoir (rabies, plague)

C. SLOW (MODERN) EPIDEMICS

  • Non-infectious, non-communicable diseases
  • Examples: Obesity, Diabetes, Cardiovascular disease, Cancer
  • Spread slowly over decades across populations

EPIDEMIC CURVE - Summary Table

FeaturePoint-SourcePropagatedContinuous Common-Source
OnsetExplosiveGradualExtended/irregular
PeakSingle sharp peakMultiple successive peaksIrregular plateau
DurationWithin 1 incubation periodSpans multiple incubation periodsProlonged
Secondary wavesNonePresentNone
Person-to-person spreadNoYesNo
ExampleFood poisoningHepatitis A, PolioLegionnaire's disease

MIXED EPIDEMIC (Exam Favourite!)

  • Starts as common-source, then continues as propagated
  • Classic example: Water-borne cholera - reaches a sharp peak, then tails off gradually

Original Fig. 4 from Park's (Common-Source / Point-Source Epidemic Curve)

Park's Fig 4 - Point Source Epidemic Curve

High-Yield One-Liners for KNRUHS

  1. Epidemic curve = graph of time distribution of epidemic cases
  2. Point-source = all cases in ONE incubation period, single peak
  3. Propagated = multiple peaks, slow rise, slow fall
  4. Median incubation period = time for 50% of cases after exposure
  5. Legionnaire's disease = continuous common-source epidemic
  6. Water-borne cholera = mixed epidemic (common-source + propagated)
  7. Slow epidemics = obesity, CVD, diabetes, cancer
  8. Propagated epidemic ends when susceptibles are depleted
