Behavioural Nutrition

The Behavioural Nutrition special collection aims to explore the psychological, social, and environmental factors influencing dietary behaviours and food choices. We invite submissions that investigate the determinants of dietary behaviour change, interventions to promote healthy eating habits, and strategies to address barriers to adopting and maintaining a nutritious diet.

Short Abstract
This survey explored the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lifestyle behaviors of adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The results showed that individuals with type 2 diabetes reported a reduction in outdoor activities, an increase in consumption of convenience and sugary foods, and poorer sleep quality. The study highlighted important lifestyle changes during lockdown and suggested the need for future surveillance systems to monitor long-term effects on individuals with chronic conditions.
