Doody's Review Service, Jude Christopher Sullivan, MS -- "This is designed to be a 'cutting edge' teaching tool, learning tool, and reference resource. It provides such information as the latest Dietary Reference Intakes, normative tables (e.g., standards for overweight and obesity), up-to-date indices for monitoring change in health status (e.g. regional body fat distribution and health risks), as well as expanded chapters addressing the nutritional needs of physically active people and those in sports competition." Doody's Review Service, Jude Christopher Sullivan -- "It is a valuable teaching tool for the instructor, learning tool for the student, and information resource for the healthcare provider."
