Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
While much progress has been made to identify the multi-faceted determinants of dietary behaviors on energy intake and body mass index, obesity prevalence is at an all time high and on the rise in many communities across the United States and other developed countries. There is a need for science and innovations that support the development of evidence-based practices that yield clinically significant improvements in energy intake, diet quality and obesity at the population level. In this Special Issue, contributions providing novel directions for addressing dietary behaviors and its effect on energy intake and body mass index are of interest. Eligible submissions include works that aim to understand or demonstrate the effects of dietary behavior on energy intake and body mass index. Works across the research continuum (basic, translational or clinical) with expressed implications for population health are encouraged. All article types and works inclusive of underrepresented and underreached populations are welcome.
