Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dietary habits of students are critical factors influencing their overall health, cognitive development, and academic performance. As students navigate through various educational stages, their nutritional needs and food patterns evolve, shaped by a complex interplay of socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental factors. Understanding these dynamics is essential for developing effective interventions and policies aimed at promoting healthier eating habits among young people. We are pleased to announce a Special Issue, "Nutrient Intake and Food Patterns in Students", which aims to explore the diverse dietary habits and nutritional challenges faced by students across various educational levels. We invite researchers to submit original research articles and reviews that address topics such as the following:
- Nutritional assessment and dietary surveys.
- Impact of socioeconomic factors on student nutrition.
- Innovative interventions to improve dietary habits.
- Long-term health outcomes related to student food patterns.
Submissions should provide valuable insights into the current state of student nutrition and propose actionable strategies for improvement. We welcome contributions from a wide range of disciplines, including nutrition, public health, education, and social sciences.
Join us in advancing the understanding of student nutrition and contributing to healthier future generations.
Prof. Dr. Lilian de Jonge
Guest Editor
