Popis: A dietetics profession that conforms to the international standards for dietetics exists in many countries but not in the Peoples' Republic of China (China). Might China benefit from the presence of the dietetics profession?The article reviews the current dietetic situation in China, summarizes the gaps between current realities in China with respect to meeting needs for nutritional care, and recommends improvements.Gaps and barriers exist between current practice in dietetics and a more optimal system for meeting China's nutritional care needs. Recommendations for actions over the near term that would lead to fuller development of the field of dietetics in China are summarized, following the model suggested by the International Confederation of Dietetic Associations. Alternative personnel deployment strategies over the next decade are also discussed.Whether there is a role for the profession of dietetics in China today or in the near future will depend on the attitudes and political will of Chinese government authorities, health professionals, educators, and consumers.背景:符合国际标准的膳食营养职业存在于许多国家,但在中国並没有。膳食 营养这一职业是否会对中国带来益处呢?目的:本文旨在回顾中国膳食营养领 域的现状,总结营养保健的需求与中国目前的现状之间的差距,并提出改善建 议。结果:中国膳食营养领域的现状,与为了满足中国的营养保健需求更优化而 需要的系统之间,存在着差距和阻碍。结合国际饮食营养联盟建议的模型,本文 总结了在短期内可采取的有助于膳食营养领域更全面发展的行动之相关建议, 并讨论了在未来十年内人员部署策略的替代方案。结论:膳食营养职业是否能 在当今中国或在不久的将来有所作为,取决于中国政府、卫生专业人员、教育 工作者和消费者的态度和政治意愿。
