A rising interest in the health benefits of functional foods and nutraceuticals, focusing on their roles in disease prevention and health promotion.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Dietary Patterns:
There is a noticeable reduction in papers focusing solely on traditional dietary patterns (e.g., Mediterranean, DASH) as researchers explore more dynamic and integrative approaches in nutrition. - Nutritional Interventions for Acute Conditions:
Research on acute nutritional interventions, such as those for short-term illnesses or transient conditions, seems to be less prominent, with a shift towards chronic disease management. - Single Nutrient Studies:
The focus on single nutrient studies, such as isolated vitamins or minerals, is waning as the journal increasingly favors comprehensive dietary assessments and whole-food approaches. - Gender-Specific Nutrition Studies:
There has been a decrease in gender-specific nutritional studies, possibly due to a growing emphasis on intersectional approaches that consider multiple factors influencing dietary habits.
