This is an academic and clinical reference work of international scope that offers a scientific, in-depth, and updated analysis of nutrology applied to the human life cycle, addressing in an integrated way the metabolic, physiological, immunological, and social aspects of nutrition at different stages of development.
Organized by specialists in nutrology, preventive medicine, and public health, the book is structured into thematic chapters covering nutrology from conception and pregnancy, lactation, early childhood, school age, adolescence, young adulthood, reproductive life, menopause, aging, and conditions of social vulnerability. With a technical language and scientific rigor, each section explores the specific nutritional needs, the prevalent metabolic disorders, updated clinical protocols, evidence-based supplementation strategies, and the impact of nutrition on physical and mental health.
Intended for nutrologists, clinical nutritionists, physicians, pediatricians, gynecologists, geriatricians, global health researchers, and primary care professionals, this publication also includes international models of comprehensive nutritional health care, based on guidelines from WHO, FAO, UNICEF, and comparative public policies.
By integrating the foundations of chrononutrition, nutrigenomics, epigenetics, nutrition education, population-based nutritional surveillance, and personalized clinical interventions, the book establishes itself as an essential source for teaching, practice, and research in precision nutritional medicine and life-cycle nutrition science.
