NUTRITION AND HEALTH
Scope & Guideline
Pioneering Discoveries in Nutrition and Dietetics
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Nutrition and Health Interventions:
The journal publishes research on various nutritional interventions aimed at improving health outcomes in different populations, including children, adults, and vulnerable groups. This includes studies on dietary supplements, specific diets (like Mediterranean or low-carbohydrate), and community-based nutrition programs. - Public Health and Nutrition Policy:
Research that explores the intersection of nutrition and public health policies, including food security, nutrition education, and the socioeconomic determinants of dietary choices. This area aims to address malnutrition and promote healthy eating at a community and population level. - Psychosocial and Behavioral Aspects of Eating:
The journal includes studies investigating the psychosocial factors influencing dietary behaviors, such as self-compassion, mindful eating, and the impact of social support on food choices. Understanding these aspects helps in designing effective nutrition interventions. - Nutritional Epidemiology:
A significant focus is on understanding the relationship between dietary patterns and health outcomes through epidemiological studies. This includes examining the prevalence of dietary-related diseases and the impact of dietary diversity and quality on overall health. - Cultural and Environmental Influences on Nutrition:
Research that delves into how cultural practices, food environments, and lifestyle transitions affect nutritional habits and health, particularly in diverse and underserved populations.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Nutrition:
A significant increase in research exploring how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected dietary behaviors, food security, and health outcomes. This trend underscores the urgent need to understand the pandemic's long-term implications on nutrition and public health. - Mindful Eating and Behavioral Interventions:
There is a growing interest in the role of mindful eating and behavioral approaches to improve dietary habits and health outcomes. Research focusing on the psychological aspects of eating behaviors is becoming more prevalent. - Nutrition and Mental Health:
Emerging studies are increasingly examining the connection between diet and mental health, including the effects of dietary patterns on mood, anxiety, and cognitive function. This reflects a broader recognition of the importance of nutrition in overall mental well-being. - Food Security and Nutrition Equity:
Research focusing on food security, particularly in marginalized and low-income populations, is on the rise. This trend emphasizes the need to address nutritional disparities and improve access to healthy foods. - Technological Innovations in Nutrition Assessment:
Emerging themes include the use of digital tools and technologies for dietary assessment and intervention, reflecting the increasing integration of technology in nutrition research and practice.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Dietary Practices:
Research on traditional dietary practices has seen a decline, possibly due to the increasing globalization of food systems and the rise of Western dietary patterns. Studies that previously focused on traditional diets are now less frequent, as attention shifts toward modern dietary influences. - Single Nutrient Focus:
There has been a noticeable reduction in studies that focus solely on single nutrients (e.g., vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids) without considering the broader context of dietary patterns. The trend is moving towards a more holistic view of nutrition that emphasizes whole foods and dietary diversity. - Longitudinal Studies on Diet Quality:
Longitudinal studies assessing long-term dietary quality and its effects on health outcomes are appearing less frequently. The focus has shifted towards more immediate impacts of dietary changes and interventions, possibly due to the urgency in addressing public health crises. - Food Processing and Nutritional Quality:
Investigations into the effects of food processing on nutritional quality, while still relevant, have decreased in frequency. The emphasis may be moving towards broader discussions on food environments and accessibility rather than solely on processing methods.
