About this ebook

Nutrient Deficiencies explores the critical role of micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, in maintaining health and highlights the far-reaching consequences of malnutrition. It emphasizes that even slight deficiencies can trigger significant health problems, affecting individual well-being and contributing to public health crises globally. For instance, deficiencies in iron, iodine, vitamin A, vitamin D, and B vitamins can lead to anemia, thyroid dysfunction, and impaired immune function.

The book begins with a foundational overview of nutritional science, detailing the functions of essential nutrients at the cellular level. It then progresses to in-depth analyses of specific deficiencies, their symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatments.

A key argument is that subclinical nutrient deficiencies pose a significant yet often underestimated threat to global health, supported by epidemiological studies and clinical trials. It examines the impact of socioeconomic factors and dietary habits on the prevalence of malnutrition.

Finally, Nutrient Deficiencies concludes with practical strategies for prevention and management, including dietary modifications, supplementation, and public health initiatives. This comprehensive approach makes the book valuable for students, healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the science behind nutrition and its impact on overall health.
