Scope & Guideline
Elevating Nutrition Knowledge Across Disciplines
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Nutritional Epidemiology:
The journal publishes research that investigates the relationships between diet, health outcomes, and disease prevalence, emphasizing studies that explore how dietary patterns affect various health conditions. - Intervention Studies:
BMC Nutrition features randomized controlled trials and other intervention studies that evaluate the effectiveness of dietary modifications and nutritional programs in improving health outcomes across different populations. - Socioeconomic and Cultural Influences on Nutrition:
The journal addresses how socio-economic status, cultural practices, and environmental factors influence dietary habits and nutritional status, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. - Public Health Nutrition:
Research focused on public health policies, nutrition education, and community-based interventions is a core area, aiming to improve dietary practices and health outcomes at the population level. - Micronutrient Deficiencies and Nutritional Status:
BMC Nutrition emphasizes studies on micronutrient deficiencies, particularly among vulnerable groups such as children and pregnant women, to inform public health strategies. - Food Security and Insecurity:
The journal explores the impact of food security and insecurity on nutritional outcomes, examining the interplay between access to food, economic factors, and health. - Dietary Patterns and Health Outcomes:
Research on specific dietary patterns (e.g., Mediterranean, DASH, plant-based) and their associations with health outcomes is frequently published, contributing to the understanding of optimal dietary practices.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Nutrition:
Research examining the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on dietary habits, food security, and nutritional status has surged, reflecting a timely response to global health challenges. - Plant-Based Diets and Sustainability:
There is a growing interest in studies exploring the health benefits of plant-based diets, as well as their implications for sustainability and environmental health. - Mental Health and Nutrition:
Emerging research is increasingly linking dietary patterns and nutritional status with mental health outcomes, highlighting the importance of nutrition in psychological well-being. - Nutritional Interventions for Chronic Diseases:
Interventions targeting chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular conditions are a rising focus, emphasizing the role of nutrition in disease management. - Digital Health and Nutrition Apps:
The use of digital tools and mobile applications to promote healthy eating behaviors and track dietary intake is an emerging area of research, reflecting technological advancements in health promotion. - Micronutrient Supplementation and Public Health:
Research on the effectiveness of micronutrient supplementation in addressing public health issues, particularly in high-risk populations, is gaining attention, addressing pressing global health concerns. - Behavioral Nutrition and Eating Habits:
There is an increasing emphasis on understanding the behavioral aspects of nutrition, including the psychological and social factors that influence dietary choices.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Dietary Practices:
Research focusing on traditional dietary practices and their health implications has decreased, indicating a shift towards more contemporary dietary patterns and interventions. - Food Processing and Industrial Nutrition:
There has been a noticeable decline in studies related to the impact of food processing on nutrition, possibly due to a growing focus on whole foods and minimally processed diets. - Nutrition in Older Adults:
The exploration of nutritional issues specifically affecting older adults has waned, suggesting a potential gap in research addressing geriatric nutrition challenges. - Food Safety and Security:
While still relevant, research specifically focused on food safety issues has become less prominent, possibly overshadowed by broader discussions on food security and nutrition interventions. - Nutritional Education in Schools:
There has been a reduction in studies specifically examining nutritional education programs within school settings, indicating a shift towards community and family-based interventions.
