Aims

The Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics Practices is a premier platform for the dissemination of high-quality, peer-reviewed research that advances the field of human nutrition, dietetics, and related disciplines. Our journal aims to provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of original research, clinical studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that contribute to the understanding and improvement of human health through nutrition and dietetics.

Scope
The scope of Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics Practices encompasses a wide range of topics within human nutrition, dietetics, and their intersection with public health. The journal serves as a bridge between scientific research and practical application, with a focus on evidence-based strategies and approaches that influence dietary practices and nutritional health on a global scale.

We invite contributions from a variety of disciplines and approaches, including but not limited to:

• Clinical Nutrition: Research on nutrition in the prevention and management of chronic diseases, metabolic conditions, and acute health issues. This includes studies on therapeutic diets, clinical nutrition assessments, and dietetic interventions in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings.

• Dietetic Practices: Innovations and research on dietetic care, counseling, and interventions that improve patient health outcomes. This includes the role of dietitians in various healthcare settings, community nutrition programs, and the development of dietary guidelines.

• Public Health Nutrition: Studies examining the relationship between nutrition and public health, with a focus on nutrition policy, dietary patterns, nutrition education, and the impact of socioeconomic factors on nutritional status.

• Community Nutrition: Research related to community-based nutrition interventions, food security, nutrition education programs, and dietary practices at the population level, aiming to improve the health of individuals in diverse communities.

• Nutritional Biochemistry and Metabolism: Investigations into the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of nutrition, including how nutrients affect metabolic processes and the underlying mechanisms that influence health outcomes. This includes studies on micronutrients, macronutrients, bioavailability, and metabolic pathways.

• Food Science and Technology: Research on the science behind food production, processing, preservation, and its nutritional impact. This includes studies on food quality, food safety, functional foods, and the development of novel food products that promote health and nutrition.

• Sports Nutrition: Research focused on the dietary needs of athletes and physically active individuals. This includes studies on performance-enhancing diets, hydration, nutritional supplementation, and the role of nutrition in physical recovery and performance optimization.

• Pediatric and Maternal Nutrition: Investigations into the specific nutritional needs of infants, children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers. This includes studies on childhood obesity, maternal nutrition, breastfeeding, and early childhood nutrition interventions.

• Gerontology and Nutrition: Research on the nutritional needs of older adults, including the impact of aging on metabolism, nutrient absorption, and dietary practices that support healthy aging.

• Nutritional Epidemiology: Studies that investigate the relationship between dietary habits and health outcomes at the population level, including the role of diet in preventing and managing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers.

• Integrative and Functional Nutrition: Exploring holistic and integrative approaches to nutrition, including the use of functional foods, herbal medicine, and alternative dietary practices in the management and prevention of health conditions.

• Nutrition and Environmental Sustainability: Research on the environmental impact of food production, dietary patterns, and their sustainability. This includes studies on plant-based diets, sustainable food systems, and the role of nutrition in mitigating environmental challenges such as climate change.
