Diet History includes information about which aspects?

• A. Medication List Only
• B. Eating Pattern Only
• C. Height And Weight
• D. Information From The Interview Or Questionnaire, Medication, Eating Pattern And Physical Activity

Answer: (D)

Diet history is a comprehensive look at what a person eats and the factors that shape their intake. It gathers data from the interview or questionnaire to capture foods, portions, and meal timing, considers medications that can affect appetite, absorption, or metabolism, and examines eating patterns and physical activity to understand consistency, preferences, and energy needs. Height and weight are important for overall nutrition assessment, but they are not part of the diet history itself. The best choice is the one that combines information from the interview or questionnaire, medications, eating pattern, and physical activity, giving the full picture of the person’s dietary intake and related factors.
