Food Habits, Nutritional Knowledge, and Nutrition Education

Dear Colleagues,

Nutrition is fundamental to ensuring proper development throughout the different stages of life and is closely linked to the health of the population and the risk of disease. A diet characterized by fresh, unprocessed foods with a predominance of plant foods, together with regular physical activity, is associated with the prevention of most of the chronic diseases affecting the population.

Nutritional knowledge is a key factor in achieving healthy eating habits, and nutrition education is the main tool to improve this knowledge in different population groups. 

This Special Issue will include original and review articles assessing dietary habits, nutritional knowledge, and attitudes towards food in different population groups. In addition, studies focusing on nutrition education will also be of interest.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Foods.
