Book Descriptuon,
Preventive Nutrition contains important chapters for investigators who are interested in the impact of nutrition on world health in the unique section on Nutrition Transitions Around the World. This section examines the successes and consequent public health implications of national preventive nutrition strategies, not only in the United States and Europe but also in “Westernizing” nations and less developed countries. There are two insightful chapters on the growing presence of obesity in Latin and South America as well as across Asia. The chapters confirm that westernization of eating habits has negatively impacted the health of these nations.
The fourth edition is comprehensive and well organized. The volume is divided into seven sections beginning with an overview of (1) global issues affecting preventive nutrition; (2) cancer prevention; (3) cardiovascular disease prevention; (4) diabetes and obesity; (5) prevention of major disabilities and improvement in health outcomes; (6) optimal pregnancy and infancy outcomes; (7) nutrition transitions around the world. Key Points are included at the beginning of each chapter to help define the chapter’s critical learning points. There is a list of Key Words and the final section provides Recommendations. The fourth edition of Preventive Nutrition continues to include a comprehensive index as well as helpful listings of relevant books, journals, and websites.
