Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue for the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health entitled “Lifestyle, Food, Nutrition, Consumer Behaviors, and Health”.
Recent studies have indicated a growing list of determinants of health, as they are associated with education, employment, income, family, living environment, and nutrition, as well as other social determinants, such as early life; stress; social exclusion; social support; addiction; health system; gender, culture, and social norms; media; stigma; and discrimination. Among the important determinants of health, there are those associated with the general lifestyle, including consumed food products and other factors.
At the same time, in the 21st century, when the world experienced the COVID-19 global pandemic, we observed the dynamic changes of individual and global priorities. They reflect the interests and concerns of populations towards opportunities to influence ones health by enacting positive changes to their lifestyle, nutrition, and consumer behaviors.
In this Special Issue for IJERPH, we would like to provide readers with valuable insights into the associations between lifestyle, food, nutrition, consumer behaviors, and health. The Guest Editors would like to invite original research and reviews (systematic reviews and meta-analyses) on the following topics:
- Physical, mental, or social health outcomes in various population groups;
- Determinants of health in the 21st century and in the period of the global COVID-19 pandemic and after the period of pandemic;
- Influence of living environment on lifestyle and physical activity;
- Lifestyle strategies to promote health from childhood to elderly age;
- Dietary patterns and nutritional behaviors in diet-related diseases prevention and treatment;
- Consumer attitudes, purchase decisions, and food choices for prevention and treatment of diet-related diseases;
- Associations between environmental factors and resultant dietary health benefits and risks;
- Marketing strategies and food policy for public health purposes.
Other topics within the “Lifestyle, Food, Nutrition, Consumer Behaviors and Health” field are also welcome.
