Food hygiene and consumption encompasses the practices, conditions, and behaviors surrounding food safety, sanitation, and dietary intake that collectively influence nutritional outcomes and public health. Research published in the International Journal of Nutrition examines this topic through multiple interconnected dimensions, including the relationship between environmental sanitation, hygienic practices, and nutritional status in vulnerable populations such as women and children in rural and indigenous communities. Studies have investigated how inadequate sanitation infrastructure and poor hygiene contribute to stunted growth in children, particularly in resource-limited settings across Uganda, India, and Bangladesh. The journal has also explored occupational nutrition, examining energy intake gaps among urban workers like rickshaw pullers whose food consumption patterns affect their health status. Additionally, research addresses food safety from a microbiological perspective, analyzing the nutritional and safety properties of processed food products such as fish-based sausages. The connection between dietary patterns and disease prevention has been examined through investigations of colorectal cancer risk factors and dietary interventions in African populations. This body of work underscores that food hygiene and consumption patterns are critical determinants of nutritional status, particularly among economically disadvantaged groups where sanitation challenges and limited food access intersect.
