Surely, [the Forum] and this book...borrowing a sentence from the preface, have 'given a significant contribution to the...acceleration of action that is required to counter and reverse...diet-related NCD.'\" (European Journal of Public Health, Vol. 9, No. 1, 1999)  \u003cp\u003ePrakash S. Shetty and Klim McPherson are the authors of Diet, Nutrition \u0026amp; Chronic Disease: Lessons from Contrasting Worlds, published by Wiley.  With the rapid increase in the world's population, and the improvements in health and longevity, the demographic profile is altering and resulting in changes in the patterns of nutritional problems. There is a global epidemic of diet-related non-communicable diseases and, until now, industrialised countries have largely borne the brunt of it. In the last thirty years, however, there have been large increases in the mortality rates from diet-related chronic diseases, both in Eastern Europe and in rapidly developing countries in transition. Diet, Nutrition and Chronic Disease: Lessons from Contrasting Worlds is the sixth of a series of annual public health forums organised by the London School of Hygiene \u0026amp; Tropical Medicine. It summarises the current state of the art of our understanding of the problem of non-communicable diseases and their primary prevention, and aims to:\u003cbr\u003e * Increase international awareness of the global burden of non-communicable diseases and in particular to highlight the trends in developing countries.\u003cbr\u003e * Evaluate the impact of changes in diet, nutrition and lifestyle that predispose to chronic non-communicable diseases in modern societies.\u003cbr\u003e * Share knowledge of the growing problems of non-communicable diseases and experiences related to its prevention between health professionals of developing and developed countries.\u003cbr\u003e * Identify and prioritise major research issues and suggest strategies to deal with the global epidemic of chronic non-communicable diseases.\u003cbr\u003e This book is an invaluable volume for public health professionals and nutritionists, health and nutrition policy makers and researchers, national governments and international agencies concerned with population health and nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989061583077,"sku":"NP9780471971337","price":314.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780471971337.jpg?v=1761782634","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/diet-nutrition-chronic-disease-isbn-9780471971337","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
