The book "Nutrition and Public Health" aims to educate and train healthcare professionals such as physicians, dietitians, nutritionists, and nurses by emphasizing the broader connection between nutrition and public health.
Initially, the book includes chapters covering topics such as nutritional epidemiology and dietary assessment, while also providing information on the planning and implementation of intervention programs aimed at addressing nutrition-related public health issues.
Subsequent chapters offer information on creating, using, and applying dietary recommendations and guidelines, and analyze nutrition-related disorders and health problems. Special emphasis is given to issues related to obesity and nutrient deficiencies, particularly vitamin A, iodine, and iron deficiencies.
