Nutrition & Dietetics (NDB)

Section Information

Nutrition and Dietetics focus on the role of nutrients, dietary patterns, and lifestyle factors in maintaining health and preventing disease. The field integrates biochemistry, physiology, public health, and clinical practice to understand how food and nutrition influence human wellbeing across the lifespan.

Current research includes clinical nutrition, metabolic disorders, functional foods, personalized nutrition, public health nutrition strategies, and nutrition policy. Advances in nutritional genomics, microbiome research, digital health tools, and evidence-based dietary assessment are improving individualized and population-level nutrition interventions.

This section publishes clinical trials, epidemiological studies, laboratory investigations, dietary intervention research, and review articles related to nutrition science and dietetic practice.
