Challenges for public health nutrition in the 1990s
1990
Willett, W.
A scientific approach to public health nutrition includes: collection of evidence regarding the relation of nutritional factors to health and disease; assessment of current dietary practices; development of strategies to modify diets in a manner deemed to be beneficial; and the evaluation of intervention strategies. This approach has been successful in eliminating several nutritional deficiencies that were once widespread. Despite these successes, nutritional factors remain as probable major determinants of the dominant health problems, particularly cardiovascular diseases and cancer, in the United States and other affluent countries. As we enter a new decade, a consideration of challenges facing those working to improve our nation's health through nutrition may be appropriate.
