Public Health Nutrition

The Public Health Nutrition special collection aims to address key public health challenges related to nutrition and food security. We welcome submissions that explore the determinants of dietary behaviours, interventions to promote healthy eating habits, and strategies to address nutritional disparities and improve population health outcomes.

Study Objective
To investigate the effects of diet and physical activity on bone health in children and adolescents, focusing on dietary influences (macronutrients and micronutrients) and the role of physical activity in bone development.

Short Abstract
This review explores the role of nutrition and physical activity in influencing bone health during childhood and adolescence. The study found that diet, particularly in relation to macronutrients such as proteins, and micronutrients like calcium and vitamin D, plays a crucial role in optimizing bone mass. Physical activity, especially weight-bearing and high-impact exercises, significantly contributes to bone mineral density (BMD). The review also discusses hormonal regulation, including parathyroid hormone and gut peptides, in bone remodeling and their interaction with diet and physical activity.
