Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lifestyle factors such as dietary habits, physical activity, sleep and stress management play a fundamental role in shaping individual and population health. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to how lifestyle interacts with nutrition-related public health interventions and policies. Nutrition surveys are essential tools for collecting real-world data on food consumption patterns and nutritional status, and enable the development and evaluation of effective nutrition interventions. This Special Issue, entitled “Lifestyle, Dietary Surveys, Nutrition Policy and Human Health”, aims to highlight methodological advances in dietary assessment and the integration of lifestyle indicators into nutrition surveillance systems. We welcome original papers and reviews that address innovative nutrition and lifestyle assessment tools, the impact of nutrition policy, and the role of comprehensive data in promoting health. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary approaches that link dietary behavior, social determinants of health, and policy development in diverse populations.
