Food Based Dietary ry Guidelines (F (FBDG)  Intended to establish a basis for public food and nutrition, health and agricultural policies and nutrition education programmes to foster healthy eating habits and lifestyles.  To provide standard guide and advice on food, food groups and dietary patterns to promote overall health and prevent chronic diseases.  They involve a substantial amount of research translation, and their implementation has important health consequences.

The importance of f FBDG  Dietary guidelines apply to all healthy individuals .  Many countries have also developed guidelines for population groups with special nutritional needs, such as pregnant and lactating women and the elderly.  In addition, some countries also develop dietary recommendations expressed in scientific terms for nutritionists and health care professionals, with quantitative recommendations of nutrients and food components.

The importance of f FBDG (c (cont: )  Dietary guidelines are a tool for nutrition education and behaviour change.  They are meant to provide a basis for national food, nutrition, health and agricultural policies, as well as for the food industry.  Also part of strategy to improve food security, food safety and reduce the risk of prevailing chronic disease.

Development and Process  Dietary guidelines are developed by interdisciplinary teams of experts, comprising representatives of agriculture, health, education, nutrition and food science, consumers, non-governmental organizations, the food industry, communications and anthropology.  Many sources of information are reviewed in this process, such as scientific evidence of the relationship between diet, nutrition and health; and data on food production, food consumption, food composition, cost and accessibility.  Once the draft guidelines (key messages, key recommendations and how to achieve) have been prepared, they will be pilot-tested with consumer groups to ensure they are practical and comprehensible and the messages are well-suited to the local community.

Technical Working Group (T (TWG) on Nutritional Guidelines  Under the purview of National Coordinating Committee of Food and Nutrition (NCCFN).  A total of 5 TWGs to facilitate the implementation of National Plan for Nutrition of Malaysia (NPANM).  TWG Nutritional Guidelines is one of the 5 established TWGs with the Nutrition Division acting as the Secretariat.

FBDG in Malaysia  The TWG on Nutritional Guidelines published the first Malaysian Dietary Guidelines in 1999.  10 years later the 2 nd version of the Malaysian Dietary Guidelines was published in 2010.

FBDG in Malaysia (f (for specific age-groups)  In view of the need to address diet-related health issues in various age groups, MDG Children and Adolescents was published in 2013.

FBDGs in Malaysia (f (for specific population groups)  The TWG on Nutritional Guidelines is currently working on developing 3 dietary guidelines (DGs) for special population groups, namely,  DG for Pregnant and Lactating Women  DG for the Elderly  DG for Vegetarians  Each set of dietary guidelines contains unique features to address the dietary needs of these population groups.

In Introduction  Chronological age of elderly population in Malaysia is 60 years and above.  Elderly population in Malaysia is steadily rising from 5.7% in 1990 to 8.35% in 2013.  By the year of 2040, it is expected to be 16.3% of total population (Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, 2012).  In the 2012 report, elderly population was 8.2% approximately 2.4 million of 29.3 million.  The average life expectancy for males and females is 72.3 and 77.2 years, respectively (Ruhaini, 2013).

In Introduction (c (cont:) :)  Aging may coincide with a declining gustatory function that can affect dietary intake and ultimately have negative health consequences.  Kaiser et. al 2010 noted there are nine (9) major changes occur in ageing population; body weight, body composition of bone, muscle and fat, immuno compromised, gastrointestinal disturbances, tooth loss, sensory loss, psychological stress, economy and social changes. The changes occurred may influence nutritional status by limiting foods intake and subsequently placed geriatrics in high risk to develop malnutrition (Volkert et al., 2006).  Sakinah et al. (2012) and Hanisah et al. ( 2012) reported that our local ageing population is susceptible to develop malnutrition influenced by factors such as – impaired dietary intake, physiological changes and economy status.

Key Messages and Recommendations  KM1: Eat a variety of foods within your recommended intake  KM2: Maintain a healthy body weight for optimal health  KM3: Prepare, request or purchase foods and beverages with low fat , salt and sugar  KM4: Drink plenty of water daily  KM5: Be physically active for optimal health  KM6: Practice food safety when purchasing, preparing, cooking and storing food

Key area of Focus  Highlights on the role of family and community members.  Ideas on how to involve the elderly during purchasing and preparation of food.  The importance to keep a healthy dentition.  Use of supplements and drug-dietary supplements interactions.  Contraindications on the use of selected herbal supplements.

In Introduction  General healthy eating guidelines, micronutrient sufficiency and macronutrient quantity and quality are important nutrition considerations pre pregnancy, during pregnancy and lactation.  Maternal obesity increases the risk of a number of pregnancy complications, including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and caesarean delivery (Lynch et al, 2008).  Excessive weight gain during pregnancy and postpartum retention of pregnancy weight gain are significant risk factors for later obesity in women (Rooney et al, 2002).
