Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a Special Issue on “Nutrition and Public Health” in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. The venue is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes articles and communications. The interdisciplinary area of nutritional sciences and public health. For detailed information on the journal, we refer you to http//www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph
The importance of nutrition to public health is self-evident: people must eat to live. Both inadequate and excessive food intake lead to adverse health consequences and contribute to the principal causes of morbidity and mortality through developing and industrialized society. Because all individuals consume food, personal interesting in diet makes nutrition an unusually accessible entry point into health education and service delivery systems. Food intake is determined not only by individual choice but also by cultural norms, agricultural policies, and economic variables, public health approaches to nutrition and dietary intervention should be the methods of choice.
This Special Issue is open to present and discuss diet and nutrition within a broad public health context.
This Special Issue represents an effort to capture current developments in this field, and to provide a forum for cutting-edge contributions to the literature.
