“La prescripción dietética es un acto médico terapéutico al igual que la prescripción medicamentosa”. Louis Monnier “Se adivinan las equivocaciones y los estragos que pueden ocasionar las curas médicas que sólo tienen como objetivo la desaparición de los efectos, sin buscar, ni intervenir las causas reales de las enfermedades”. Paul Carton “Buscar la causa de las causas”. Hipócrates Tres diferentes médicos, en tres diferentes épocas, coinciden en un principio fundamental en la medicina: el tratamiento nutricional, un principio olvidado en los últimos 50 años con motivo de los grandes descubrimientos en medicamentos. Nuestra sociedad, pasó de morir por enfermedades infectocontagiosas, a morir por enfermedades crónico-degenerativas. En la actualidad, se sabe de la relación que guardan esta clase de trastornos con la alimentación y sus posibles efectos benéficos. Esta Guía nace de la intención de proporcionar a los profesionales de la salud interesados en el mundo de la nutrición infantil, como médicos, nutriólogos o enfermeros, una herramienta actualizada y práctica para el abordaje nutricional en pacientes hospitalizados y ambulatorios. Se trata de la primera edición para México, basada en la 4ª edición de la Guía de Nutrición Pediátrica Hospitalaria (2016), con información adaptada a las necesidades y a las condiciones propias de los pacientes en México y Latinoamérica. El día a día del quehacer médico, requiere tomar decisiones continuamente; decidir, implica establecer prioridades y hacer eficiente la asignación de recursos disponibles, pero ¿cómo lograrlo si no contamos con información actualizada, libre de sesgos e intereses comerciales? La primera edición para México de esta Guía incorpora avances en materia de tratamientos nutricionales, se presentan textos sencillos, concisos, para su frecuente revisión, con múltiples esquemas, tablas, figuras y algoritmos que faciliten su comprensión. Esta Guía está estructurada en capítulos que pretenden abarcar de principio a fin, las diferentes etapas de desarrollo de los niños, con sus respectivas necesidades nutricionales. Abarca igualmente condiciones de enfermedades específicas, así como diferentes técnicas de soporte nutricional. La experiencia de nuestros autores permite al lector obtener años de formación en un breve, actualizado y práctico texto, que lógicamente no sustituye a los excelentes tratados de nutrición infantil, pero si aspira a lograr una revisión concreta y práctica. Aprovecho para agradecer a todos los autores de esta obra, por el tiempo y esfuerzo dedicado. No es tarea fácil resumir tantos años de trabajo en unos cuantos párrafos. De igual forma agradezco el apoyo del Comité de Nutrición Pediátrica del Hospital Materno Infantil Vall d´Hebron de Barcelona, España, muy en particular a Oscar Segarra, Susana Redecillas y Susana Clemente, editores de la versión española, sin su apoyo este Guía no hubiera sido posible. “La desnutrición infantil en los países en vías de desarrollo es signo de pobreza, pero la desnutrición en el ámbito hospitalario en un país desarrollado puede ser signo de ignorancia”. Es nuestro objetivo pasar de ser un país en “vías de desarrollo” nutricional, a ser un país ampliamente desarrollado en términos de nutrición infantil. Para lograrlo pretendemos que esta Guía sea un puente entre la medicina real que vivimos y la ideal para nuestros niños. Es por eso que hemos dejado, a manera de protesta, algunos productos nutricionales que al día de hoy no tenemos disponibles en México. La medicina traslacional es un enfoque novedoso, cuyo fin es procurar al paciente un beneficio en el lapso más corto posible. Sólo con información actualizada podemos acortar esta brecha en el tiempo. Agradecemos la colaboración del Hospital Vall d´Hebron al compartir su información. Es nuestro principal motivo ayudar a todos aquellos niños que sufren una enfermedad a recobrar su salud de la mejor manera posible. Esperamos no defraudar las expectativas de nuestros futuros lectores. De igual manera, esperamos que el lector sepa comprendernos y perdonar posibles omisiones, abrir la mente y lograr así, ser un apoyo en el futuro tratamiento medico-nutricional de sus pacientes. Dr. Joshué D. Covarrubias Esquer Director de la Unidad de Nutrición Infantil (UNi) Zapopan, Jalisco, México.

This book is the first of a new series which will present the proceedings of the newly established Nestlé Nutrition Workshop Series: Clinical & Performance Programme aimed at adult nutrition. Undernutrition is a common phenomenon in elderly people, and malnutrition reaches significant levels in those being in hospital, nursing homes or home care programs. Consequences of malnutrition often go unrecognised owing to the lack of specific validated instruments to assess nutritional status in frail elderly persons. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) provides a single, rapid assessment of nutritional status in the elderly of different degrees of independence, allowing the prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition to be determined and to evaluate the efficacy of nutritional intervention and strategies. Easy, quick and economical to perform, it enables staff to check the nutritional status of elderly people when they enter hospitals or institutions and to monitor changes occurring during their stay. Moreover, the MNA is predictive of the cost of care and length of stay in hospital. This publication will be of immense assistance to heads of geriatric teaching units, teachers in nutrition, clinicians general practitioners and dieticians, enabling them to better detect, recognise and start treatment of malnutrition in the elderly.

Parenteral nutrition in general is required if nutritional needs cannot be met by oral or enteral feeding. In the paediatric patient, its initiation depends both on individual circumstances and the age and size of the infant or child. This compact reference work on parenteral nutrition in children is based on the 'Guidelines for Paediatric Parenteral Nutrition' that have been developed jointly by the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) and the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN), in collaboration with the European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR).These guidelines were based on systematic literature reviews as well as a formal consensus process of a multidisciplinary panel of professionals. However, as a result of the scarcity of good quality clinical trials in children, many of the recommendations were extrapolated from adult studies and based on expert opinion. A detailed analysis of the available data was performed, and for each statement, the level of evidence and grade of recommendation was assessed. This reference guide has been conceived as an aid for the treating physician to assist him in the decision process, thus being a valuable companion in clinical practice.

This guideline provides updated global, evidence-informed recommendations on the intake of free sugars to reduce the risk of NCDs in adults and children, with a particular focus on the prevention and control of unhealthy weight gain and dental caries. The recommendations in this guideline can be used by policy-makers and programme managers to assess current intake levels of free sugars in their countries relative to a benchmark. They can also be used to develop measures to decrease intake of free sugars, where necessary, through a range of public health interventions. Examples of such interventions and measures that are already being implemented by countries include food and nutrition labelling, consumer education, regulation of marketing of food and non-alcoholic beverages that are high in free sugars, and fiscal policies targeting foods and beverages that are high in free sugars. This guideline should be used in conjunction with other nutrient guidelines and dietary goals, in particular those related to fats and fatty acids (including saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids), to guide development of effective public health nutrition policies and programmes to promote a healthy diet.
