The positive effect of calcium intake on bone health is widely accepted based on experimental, preclinical and clinical data. Calcium contributes significantly to the development and maintenance of a bone structure capable of resisting mechanical stress and therefore to the prevention of fractures. Thus, the prevention of osteoporosis requires, among other things, an adequate daily intake of calcium. In Senegal, the acquisition of osteodensitometry equipment and the first studies carried out show the reality of osteoporosis. In this book, the authors report on a preliminary study that assessed the daily calcium intake of postmenopausal Senegalese women from their basic diet.
Because folic acid plays a role in normal cell division, its intake is important during pregnancy for the rapidly dividing embryonic cells. Consuming sufficient folate before and during early pregnancy can help prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly and can reduce the incidence of congenital heart disease. A deficiency of folate can occur when the body's need for folate is increased, when dietary intake of folate is inadequate, or when the body excretes (or loses) more folate than usual. The health belief model is a popular model applied in nursing, especially in issues focusing on patient compliance and preventive health care practice. The health belief model addresses the relationship between a person's beliefs and behavior. It provides a way to understand and predict how clients will behave in relation to their health and how they will comply with health care therapies. Nursing has evolved over the centuries, moving from the Nightingale Era of caring for the sick to the Healthy People Era, which in turn promotes health and wellness. Nurses today are equally involved in the role of a health promoter and illness preventer as well as a problem solver.
The effect of nose bluntness intake features on hypersonic inlet flow field is an important area of research for the design and optimization of hypersonic aircraft. Hypersonic aircraft operate at extremely high speeds, and the design of the intake features can have a significant impact on the performance of the aircraft. The nose bluntness of the intake features can affect the flow field characteristics, which can in turn impact the performance of the engine and the aircraft as a whole.The research on the effect of nose bluntness intake features on hypersonic inlet flow field involves the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to study the flow characteristics of the inlet features. The simulations take into account the geometry and the operational conditions of the inlet features to evaluate their performance. The results of the simulations can be used to optimize the design of the inlet features and improve the performance of the aircraft.The effect of nose bluntness intake features on hypersonic inlet flow field is an important area of research that has significant implications for the design of hypersonic aircraft. By understanding the flow characteristics of the inlet features, researchers can optimize the design to improve the performance of the aircraft. This can lead to increased efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, and improved safety, which are all important considerations in the design of hypersonic aircraft.
The objective of this guideline is to provide recommendations on the consumption of free sugars to reduce the risk of NCDs in adults and children, particularly focusing on the prevention and control of unhealthy weight gain and dental caries. This is in recognition of the rapidly growing epidemic of overweight and obesity around the globe and its role as a risk factor for several NCDs.
