About this Research Topic
The mortality and morbidity rates related to non-communicable diseases globally are high. Modifying dietary and lifestyle habits can potentially reduce the prevalence of mortality and morbidity associated with these diseases. Nutrition counseling, conducted by trained professionals such as registered dietitian nutritionists, offers personalized guidance and education tailored to the specific needs and goals of each client. However, the efficiency and efficacy of nutrition counseling in further reducing the prevalence of non-communicable diseases and their associated complications need further exploration.
Generally in publications nutrition counseling plays a supportive role in the main study and its outcomes. However, nutrition counseling should be the main role in attempting to improve one's diet and lifestyle behaviors. Therefore, providing methods and techniques in nutrition counseling that have been efficient and effective in modifying diet and lifestyle behaviors is critical.
There are several themes for this special Research Topic, which include the following:
• Effectiveness and outcomes: Research examining the impact of nutrition counseling on health outcomes such as weight management, chronic disease management (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer), and overall health improvement.
• Behavior change and counseling techniques: Focuses on behavioral theories and techniques used in nutrition counseling to promote sustainable dietary changes.
