Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the economic, social and cultural development, and the process of urbanization and aging population, China has been experiencing the nutrition transition characterized as a double burden of undernutrition and over-nutrition. Through regular implementation of a national nutrition survey to track the dynamics of nutritional status among Chinese population, China has conducted six rounds of this national nutrition survey between 1982 and 2017, and 30-years cohort of China Health and Nutrition Survey since 1989. A wide range of research based on all above data provides solid scientific evidence for policy-making, nutrition and health promotion, as well as disease prevention and control in China. The future Special Issue will publish a series of articles covering relevant topics from dynamics of dietary intake, dietary pattern, lifestyles, and nutrition transition to their potential association with obesity and related NCD. These studies provide insights on multi-dimensional assessment of diet, nutrition and health status, as well as sociodemographic roles among school-aged students, adults and elderly, respectively. Findings from the aforementioned studies will have very important implications for policy-making, strategy development and public health practice.
