Dietary intake refers to the types and amounts of foods, beverages, and nutrients a person consumes, and it is a fundamental determinant of nutritional status and overall health. It is assessed through methods such as food records, 24-hour recalls, food-frequency questionnaires, and increasingly through digital tools, and it is evaluated in terms of energy, macronutrients, micronutrients, and dietary diversity and quality. Dietary intake matters because the composition and adequacy of the diet influence growth, development, and the risk of both undernutrition and diet-related chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. Studying intake across different populations and life stages helps identify nutritional gaps and inform interventions, education, and policy. Research in the International Journal of Nutrition and related OpenAccessPub titles reflects this breadth, including dietary intake patterns among people in rehabilitation, nutritional status and nutrition knowledge among adolescent girls, energy-intake gaps in physically demanding occupations, novel smartphone-based approaches to dietary assessment, culturally tailored nutrition and lifestyle interventions to reduce cardiometabolic risk, dietary diversity scores among patients with diabetes and hypertension, and the role of nutrition education and specific foods in shaping diet quality and health outcomes across diverse settings.
