LS-BIOC 3240      Applied Nutrition
Students will discuss life cycle nutrition as it relates to preventive dentistry and total health. Nutritional factors from infancy to old age are discussed, including diet and nutrition for special patients such as expectant mothers, diabetics, patients with heart disease, fracture patients, institutionalized patients, etc. Students will provide nutritional counseling to healthy patients and special patients within the framework of the course. Principles will be utilized in later clinical courses and practicums.
