Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore new findings, advancements, and challenges in nutritional assessment within epidemiological studies, broadening the understanding of the multifaceted components of nutritional assessment. It also seeks to appreciate the broader contexts of the interrelationships between nutritional assessment, physical activity, ethnicity, social diversity, environmental sustainability, and digital technologies.
We welcome contributions that highlight the implementation of methods for assessing dietary intake, biochemical and clinical assessments, anthropometric measurements, and environmental factors impacting nutrition and health outcomes. Special emphasis is placed on studies that link these assessment areas to disease risk, population health insights, and the broader implications for public health policy.
We are particularly interested in papers that integrate dietary data with biochemical, clinical, physical health, and environmental measures to enhance our understanding of nutritional epidemiology. Additionally, we encourage contributions that explore the interrelationship between nutritional assessment and physical activity, ethnic and social diversity, sustainability, financial perspectives, and the use of digital technologies to address disparities and foster innovation within the field.
