- Summary
- "Nutrition plays a key role in many areas of public health such as pre-term delivery, cancer, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular and renal diseases. Government nutrition policy, therefore, bears a huge influence on the nation's biggest health concerns. Nutrition in Public Health: Principles, Policies, and Practice integrates discussions of nutrition policy and health issues, an approach that could hold the key to the primary and secondary prevention of some of the major causes of premature death in the United States."--Jacket.
