Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on dietary habits, eating behaviors, and nutritional interventions among students from school to university settings. Student populations are exposed to changing food environments, irregular meal patterns, sedentary behavior, psychosocial stress, and digital influences that may contribute to poor diet quality, obesity, micronutrient deficiencies, obesity, and disordered eating risk. We welcome original research articles, reviews, mixed-methods studies, intervention trials, and policy-focused analyses addressing dietary patterns, food choice, nutritional knowledge, school and campus food environments, lifestyle medicine, digital or behavioral assessment tools, and prevention programs. Studies may examine public health and clinical indicators such as BMI, body composition, cardiometabolic risk markers, nutrient intake or status, eating-disorder screening measures, visual attention to food cues, physical activity, and mental health-related determinants. Research from diverse geographic, socioeconomic, and cultural contexts is encouraged, particularly studies with practical implications for school health services, university health care, primary care, and public health policy. This Special Issue aims to advance evidence-based strategies to improve nutrition and support healthier student populations.
