The purpose of this study is to compare standardized nutrition therapy provided by a registered dietitian (RD) at regularly scheduled intervals to usual care in terms of the ability to improve growth parameters in medically complex infants in the pediatric outpatient setting.

Adequate vitamin D is essential for proper infant growth and development. However, human milk is low in vitamin D, and most infants do not receive recommended supplementation. Our aim is to assess the feasibility of providing adequate vitamin D to breastfed infants through maternal vitamin D supplementation. Forty non-pregnant, lactating women at least 18 years of age with exclusively breastfed infants between the ages of 1 and 6 months will be randomized to receive oral vitamin D as either 5,000 IU daily for 28 days or 150,000 IU as a single dose. Maternal serum calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D and 25(OH)D; maternal urinary calcium; maternal milk vitamin D and 25(OH)D will be measured on days 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 of the study; and infant serum vitamin D and 25(OH)D will be measured on days 0 and 28.

This cluster-randomized trial will evaluate the impact of a multifaceted intervention (including electronic medical alerts) coordinated by a Nutritional Support Team, on adherence to recommended practices for care of starved children, among health personnel of a large university hospital. A key component of the study is to assess whether improved adherence to guidelines leads to a reduction in rates of complications.

The purpose of this study is to develop, implement and evaluate a psychoeducational intervention focused to improve nutritional status, specifically micronutrients, of mothers and caregivers of children between the ages of 5 and 13 years and their children through providing healthy cooking lessons in their communities.

Comer en Familia is a psychoeducational intervention in nutrition aimed to improve nutritional status in families, particularly mothers and caregivers of children between the ages of 5 and 13 years and their children through providing healthy cooking lessons in their communities where the optimal preparation and use of local foods based on vegetables is promoted at the same time the importance of cooking at home and eating as a family is highlighted.

Elderly persons in long-term facilities often have denutrition, associated with a bad oral and dental status. Yet, many elderly persons don't attend dentist care and when they have dental prothesis, do not often use them during meals. The impact of a rehabilitation of dental function on their nutritional status has not been proven. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of 2 strategies aimed to restore a good nutritional status, among patients with slight denutrition.

The purpose of the study is to prevent the early introduction of added sugar and ultra-processed foods and evaluate the impact on breastfeeding duration, complementary feeding quality, growth and prevalence of caries during the first year of life.
