Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Healthy Islands is a vision encouraging health protection and health promotion activities across Pacific Island Countries and Territories. Nutrition, environmental factors, food and health systems are necessary pillars for securing a healthy future for individuals, communities and populations at large in the Pacific.
Through dedicated research initiatives and targeted programs, efforts are being directed towards tackling the escalating prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This Special Issue aims to assemble research and data from across the Pacific to understand how nutrition and food systems intersect with health and their subsequent impact on NCDs.
We welcome original research articles, systematic and scoping reviews and meta-analyses. Research in both healthy populations and various subgroups with disease states is of interest. We are excited to invite you to submit research manuscripts related to this vision of Healthy Islands.
Dr. Juliana Chen
Guest Editor
