CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
2005 Call for Abstracts INSTRUCTIONS You are invited to submit an abstract for review and possible presentation at the American Dietetic Association (ADA) Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE) in St Louis, Missouri on October 22-25, 2005. DEADLINE Only abstracts RECEIVED on or before noon (central) on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 and that follow all submission and format guidelines described below will be reviewed. Read this information carefully and go to www. eatright.org/fnce to obtain a submission form. WHAT IS AN ABSTRACT? An abstract is a brief, written summary (approximately 250 words) of the specific ideas or concepts to be presented, and a statement of their relevance to practice or research. The following two types of abstracts are presented: ●
●
Research abstracts include a brief description of the author’s original research methodology, including design, subject characteristics and procedures, major findings, and conclusions or implications for dietetics practice. Project or program report abstracts contain information about the need or purpose for such a program, project, or tool development; the theory or previous research upon which it is based, or setting for its use, if appropriate; the unique characteristics of the project, program, or tool; the characteristics of subjects or target audience involved; and the type of evaluation or proposed use for the tool or instrument development.
ABSTRACT CATEGORIES Qualifying abstract submissions in all Learning Need Codes are encouraged and will be peer reviewed for poster presentation at the 2005 FNCE. Poster Presentations offer content using charts, graphs, illustrations, and/or photographs. Posters allow for informal, one-on-one or small group discussions with the presenter about the issue, problem, project, or research addressed in the poster. The poster area will consist of one 4-ft high ⫻ 8-ft wide cork-surface bulletin board on which to mount presentation information, and one 2-ft ⫻ 6-ft material table, provided by the Association. ADA’s Research Committee and the FNCE Program Planning Advisory Committee have chosen four selected categories for oral Original Contribution presentations at FNCE 2005. The concept of preselecting topics for the Original Contributions provides more cohesive oral ses-

TITLE: IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA: FIELD ASSESSMENT OF THE WORLD’S MOST COMMON NUTRITIONAL DISORDER

TEXT:
Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide. The World Health Organization has estimated that nearly 5 billion people suffer from ID. In some regions, deployed military personnel interact with an indigenous population with a prevalence of ID as high as 70%. Recent military deployments to ID “high-risk” locations include Bosnia, Kosovo,
M
Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Marshall Islands, South Korea, and Honduras. Field assessment and treatment of ID is often a primary health objective for which defined diagnostic criteria are essential. Physical assessment is used to identify mid/late stages of ID but is a non-specific technique requiring significant training. Physical symptoms of ID include pale conjunctiva,

brittle nails, lethargy, and malaise. During recent humanitarian deployments, clinical assessment has been the primary

method used for diagnosis of anemia and has proven simple and cost-effective. Hemoglobin analysis via hematofluorometry or filter paper serum spot are commonly used clinical field assays; however, even clinical tests are not specific for early stages of ID. Dietary assessment of the amount and type of iron consumed in conjunction with physical and clinical assessment can help to improve early detection of ID. Although complex diet analysis in the field environment is difficult, simple dietary assessment, to include iron rich foods (ie, meats, fortified grains, legumes), iron enhancing (ie, meats), and inhibiting agents (ie, phytates, polyphenols) may help to recognize likely ID. In order to employ effective treatment programs, nutrition experts working with “high-risk” ID populations must be able to effectively use dietary, clinical and functional assessment.

Physical assessment is used to identify mid/late stages of ID but is a non-specific technique requiring significant training. Physical symptoms of ID include pale conjunctiva,

method used for diagnosis of anemia and has proven simple and cost-effective. Hemoglobin analysis via hematofluorometry or filter paper serum spot are commonly used clinical field assays; however, even clinical tests are not specific for early stages of ID. Dietary assessment of the amount and type of iron consumed in conjunction with physical and clinical assessment can help to improve early detection of ID. Although complex diet analysis in the field environment is difficult, simple dietary assessment, to include iron rich foods (ie, meats, fortified grains, legumes), iron enhancing (ie, meats), and inhibiting agents (ie, phytates, polyphenols) may help to recognize likely ID. In order to employ effective treatment programs, nutrition experts working with “high-risk” ID populations must be able to effectively use dietary, clinical and functional assessment.
