• Associations and effects of foods and nutrients on health
• Dietary patterns and health

• Nutrition and cognitive functions
• Nutritional effects of food composition and processing
• Nutrition in developing countries
• Animal and in vitro models with clear relevance for human nutrition
• Nutrition and the Environment

Research papers on food chemistry (focus on chemical composition and analysis of foods) are generally not considered eligible, unless the results have a clear impact on human nutrition. 

The journal focuses on the different aspects of nutrition for people involved in nutrition research such as Dentists, Dieticians, Medical doctors, Nutritionists, Teachers, Journalists and Manufacturers in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
