It provides the basic principles of normal nutrition across each developmental phase in the life course, along with the foundational knowledge of key determinants, challenges, and outcomes among communities and populations within each nutrition phase. Using the Public Health 3.0 framework as a guide, the text illustrates how evidence-based public health nutrition programs can improve individual and population health.This comprehensive text contains chapters spanning every major life cycle phase from preconception and pregnancy through older adulthood. It covers optimal growth and development, health promotion and prevention topics, public health nutrition issues, social determinants of health, and examples of evidence-based public health nutrition programs and policies in the United States and around the globe.
