Nutrition in the Life Course

What it covers

This unit introduces students to the food and nutrient requirements across the human life course in the Australian context. Students will examine the physiological, social and behavioural influences of nutrient and dietary intake amongst non-Indigenous Australians, Indigenous Australians, and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities in Australia. Students will also critically explore approaches used to address nutritional risks of these groups in different life stages, and learn to develop relevant dietary recommendations to address nutritional risks for individuals and groups within the scope of nutrition practice.
