Scope of the field (Subjects)

Pakistani population suffering from a variety of nutritional deficiency disorders ranging from protein-calorie malnutrition to specific micro-nutrients in certain areas of the country. Increasing rate of chronic and acute malnutrition in the country is primarily attributed to poverty, high illiteracy among the mothers, food & nutritional insecurity and lack of cutting-edge research to devise local solutions to curb this situation. The present situation demands serious joint efforts with strong political commitment to strengthen the nutritional education, devise proactive interventions for vulnerable population groups such as pregnant and lactating women, young children, elderly and disabled individuals based on indigenous solutions. The long-term and sustainable approach is to prevent and cure diseases with diet management.
