Report of the scientific community's views on progress in attaining the public health service national nutrition goals for 1990
1986
The executive summary of an evaluation report of progress in achieving the U.S. Public Health Service Objectives for Improved Nutrition by 1990 is presented. The ad hoc panel that prepared the report recommended that none of the 15 objectives be deleted and that two objectives remain unchanged. Based on a progress evaluation since 1980 and a desire to identify quantifiable indicators and attainable endpoints, the panel recommended language changes and/or modifications for the remaining 13 objectives. Restated objectives are presented. The panel also recommended establishing two additional objectives in the areas of nutrition and cancer, and nutrition and skeletal integrity. The report concluded that efforts should be initiated in 1986 to develop Objectives for the Nation in 2000. Suggested topics for additional Objectives for Improved Nutrition in 2000 include dietary claims and health fraud, hypervitaminosis, anorexia nervosa and bulimia, nutrition in pregnancy, and nutrition in the elderly.(aje)
