New Paradigms in Relation to Clinical and Medical Nutrition

An integrated nutritional treatment strategy in primary health care is becoming more important due to the increasing importance of active and healthy aging and the longer life expectancy of the population. In primary health care, this chapter aims to summarize the evidence for dietary therapies and classify interventions according to their kind. First, there were holistic, multifaceted interventions; second, there were targeted, individual interventions; and third, there were eHealth and tele-medical interventions. Despite encouraging results, the analysis finds contradictory evidence about the value and efficacy of nutritional care programs in primary health care. There is a cautious but encouraging trend in eHealth and tele-medical interventions. The same holds true for patients: when they undergo a series of specific therapies, their health results improve significantly. There has been substantial improvement in intervention groups after receiving diverse and thorough treatments, according to the research. Care for the elderly and those with complex medical needs are best provided by primary healthcare providers. An exhaustive analysis of current nutrition care practices in primary health care is provided by this scoping review. The results highlight the significance of the interdisciplinary primary care team's ability to better carry out complicated interventions in order to raise the quality of advanced nutritional treatment. Nutritional interventions for specialized populations, including women, the elderly, and those with diseases, will be discussed in this chapter, with an emphasis on both targeted and multi-modal approaches. In recent decades, there has been a surge of interest in nutrition and nutritional therapy among both clinicians and scientists. Nutritional support has been rapidly advanced in design, development, and clinical application due to the increasing knowledge of metabolic abnormalities and nutritional assessment in chronic and acute disorders. The aim of this chapter is to promote the quick dissemination and practical implementation of scientific information in the area of clinical nutrition and metabolism, more generally.
