Aims & Scope

International Journal of Child Health and Nutrition is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes papers dealing with all aspects of child health and defining the nutritional needs of children, from conception through adolescence. The journal is designed to disseminate research findings and to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to individuals and institutions from all disciplines working in child health and nutrition, including researchers, policymakers, sponsors, healthcare providers, and non-governmental organizations. International Journal of Child Health and Nutrition intends to bring together scientists and implementing bodies to discuss the current evidence and future requirements for global, regional, and national child health and nutrition. The journal publishes review articles that highlight the significance of recent research in nutrition and illustrate the central role of nutrition in the promotion of health and prevention of nutrition-related diseases in children like obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, HIV, and other chronic diseases.
