Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Adolescent girls and women face unique health and nutrition challenges that significantly influence their overall well-being, productivity, and the health of future generations. Solving these challenges is inevitable for advancing gender equality, improving public health outcomes, and achieving sustainable development goals. This Special Issue aims to explore innovative research, evidence-based interventions, and policy approaches designed to enhance the health and nutritional status of adolescent girls and women in different environments. The clarification of strategies to combat malnutrition, address reproductive health needs, and promote equity in access to healthcare services is possible by researching the interplay between biological, social, and environmental factors. The insights derived from these studies will support applicable solutions to improve quality of life and empower adolescent girls and women worldwide.
