Brief description

This module focuses on the dietetics of diseases in the context of nutritional sciences that have clinical relevance. The list of diseases is by no means exhaustive, but rather a focus on the main diseases. The focus of the module is the dietetics of diseases.

Teaching and learning outcomes

  • Nutritional value calculation for case management of intolerances and allergies, gastroenterology and geriatrics
  • A complete processing of a case-study using "Nutritional Care Process".
  • Exercises in nutritional assessment and status, espeically with questionannaires, anthropometry as well as nutritional value estimations

Overall workload

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").
