Current Issue

Vol. 3 No. 2 (2024): African Journal of Nutrition and Dietetics (AJND)

This issue of the African Journal of Nutrition and Dietetics features a diverse range of articles that explore the critical connections between nutrition, health, and socio-economic factors across African populations. Topics include the role of diet and physical activity in preventing non-communicable diseases, the impact of maternal nutrition on early childhood development, and the effects of socioeconomic status on food security.

One key highlight is the exploration of how hormonal contraceptives influence body composition and nutritional status among women of reproductive age. This study sheds new light on the nutritional implications of contraceptive choices, offering valuable insights for health professionals and policymakers. Additionally, a review of traditional African diets provides a fresh perspective on their potential to address malnutrition and obesity in contemporary African societies.

We invite researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to submit manuscripts for future issues. We welcome original research, reviews, case studies, and commentaries that contribute to the growing body of knowledge on nutrition and dietetics in Africa. Submissions that address emerging issues such as food security, nutrition-related diseases, and culturally relevant interventions are particularly encouraged.
