Abstract:
Micronutrients play a key role in human health, being involved in energy metabolism, immunity, cellular functioning, growth, and development. Deficiencies in micronutrients occur in individuals of all ages due to several factors, including inadequate diets, disease states, and overweight/obesity. Guidelines from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) Expert Group on Nutrient Requirements for Indians (2023) have specified the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for macronutrients and micronutrients. In addition, a healthy diet is crucial for overall health and should be the first step toward addressing micronutrient deficiencies. When diet is inadequate, micronutrient supplements can be provided to compensate. An expert panel of Indian doctors was convened to develop a pathway toward micronutrient supplementation among the Indian population. This Consensus Statement recognizes that different populations have varying needs for specific micronutrients, and ensuring adequate intake of such micronutrients can improve health outcomes. The panel provided recommendations for dietary practices and micronutrient supplementation when diet is inadequate. Addressing micronutrient deficiencies at the primary care level can prevent chronic deficiencies and their consequences. This Consensus Statement can serve as a primer for physicians to monitor and address deficiencies and thus help individuals maintain their health.
摘要:
微量营养素在人类健康中起着关键作用,参与能量代谢,豁免权,细胞功能,增长,和发展。由于多种因素,所有年龄段的个体都会出现微量营养素的缺乏,包括饮食不足,疾病状态,和超重/肥胖。印度医学研究理事会(ICMR)国家营养研究所(NIN)印度人营养需求专家组(2023年)的指南规定了大量营养素和微量营养素的推荐膳食配额(RDA)。此外,健康的饮食对整体健康至关重要,应该是解决微量营养素缺乏的第一步。当饮食不足时,可以提供微量营养素补充剂来补偿。召集了印度医生专家小组,以制定在印度人口中补充微量营养素的途径。本共识声明承认,不同人群对特定微量营养素的需求各不相同,并确保这些微量营养素的充足摄入可以改善健康结果。小组为饮食不足时的饮食习惯和微量营养素补充提供了建议。在初级保健一级解决微量营养素缺乏症可以预防慢性缺乏症及其后果。这份共识声明可以作为医生监测和解决缺陷的入门书,从而帮助个人保持健康。
