Focus and Scope

Focus

Niramaya Preventive Health Journal (NPHJ) aims to be a leading scientific publication that bridges the gap between Nutrition, Food Science, and Public Health.

The journal’s primary focus is on research that emphasizes preventive and promotive strategies to maintain health, prevent disease, and improve the quality of life. We prioritize manuscripts that offer interdisciplinary solutions to address global and local health issues before they develop into pathological conditions.

Scope

The journal welcomes Original Research Articles, Systematic Reviews, and Case Studies covering, but not limited to, the following topics:

1. Preventive & Clinical Nutrition This section covers the role of nutrition in preventing communicable and non-communicable diseases.

  • Nutritional interventions for the prevention of degenerative diseases (Diabetes, Hypertension, Cardiovascular Diseases, Cancer).

  • Life-cycle nutrition (maternal, lactating, infant, child, adolescent, to elderly) for growth optimization.

  • Management of the double burden of malnutrition (stunting, wasting, and obesity).

  • Dietetics and evidence-based medical nutrition therapy.

  • Nutrigenomics and personalized nutrition.

2. Food Science & Nutraceuticals This section covers the development of food products that are safe and provide health benefits.

  • Development of functional foods and bioactive compounds.

  • Innovations in food processing technology to preserve nutritional value.

  • Food safety and food toxicology.

  • Food fortification and biofortification for the prevention of micronutrient deficiencies.

  • Utilization of local natural resources (herbs) as health foods or supplements (Natural Products/Nutraceuticals).

3. Public Health & Health Promotion This section covers macro-level aspects and behaviors affecting population health status.

  • Epidemiology of communicable and non-communicable diseases.

  • Health promotion, nutrition education, and behavioral change communication.

  • Health and nutrition policy.

  • Environmental health and food sanitation.

  • Preventive health care management.

4. Interdisciplinary Studies

  • Studies linking agriculture, food security, and community nutritional status (Agriculture-Nutrition linkage).

  • Economic analysis of nutrition and health intervention programs.
