Clinical Nutrition Specialty in the UAE
摘要
Nutrition plays a critical role in overall health and well-being in a nation like the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where rapid changes in the economy and society have affected dietary habits and lifestyles. The country has taken measures to promote healthy eating habits among its residents, including awareness campaigns, policy implementations, and support for nutrition research. During the past few years, the country has instituted a number of nutrition-related laws and standards in an effort to encourage a healthy diet and reduce the incidence of illnesses linked to undernourishment. The UAE healthcare system offers nutrition and dietetics services in both acute and community settings, such as hospitals, clinics, schools, and workplaces. In this chapter, we discuss the state of nutrition in the UAE, its challenges, and prospects for improvement.
