First Published in 1988. Over the past three decades there have been significant advances in the role of computers in nutrition and dietetics. Despite numerous published articles and theses, very few books devoted to the subject exist. A selective yet representative sample of published materials related to computer applications in nutrition and dietetics are summarized in this book. This work covers the literature published between 1958 and 1987 related to computer applications in nutrition and dietetics. The majority of the citations are from professional journals.

Abstract: References related to computer applications in nutrition, dietetics, and foodservice management are cited in this bibliography. Citations were identified using bibliographic searches, reference lists, and journal indices; most articles were taken from journals and conference proceedings that are readily available to interested persons. Citations are ordered chronologically (1958-1985) and listed alphabetically within each yearly period. Each reference is assigned a series of "context codes" that indicate major topics and possible applications in health care, nutrition education and research, business/industry, and school foodservice. Content description categories and topics include 1) patient care--diet orders, nutritional assessment, dietary analysis, patient interviewing, patient education, 2) food systems management--food cost accounting, food production control, purchasing, inventory, menu planning, personnel management, training, forecasting, 3) food systems design, evaluation, and overview, and 4) dietary surveys, dietetic education, and public health research

First Published in 1988. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Abstract: This college level text on computer concepts and how they can be used in the nutrition field is designed for use by students of food science and for practicing food professionals. Basic computer principles, including programming languages, hardware, and program building are presented. The process of data input and output and FORTRAN are discussed in detail. Applications for diet analysis, data bases, patient histories, menu planning, administrative tasks, nutrition education, and simulation are also discussed.
