Having ensured a basic knowledge in nutrition with 'Introduction to Human Nutrition', this Nutrition Society text sets out to explore nutrition and metabolism across the various systems of the body.
This text focuses solely on the sick and metabolically compromised patient. It complements the text on 'Nutrition and Metabolism' in dealing with clinical nutrition on a system-by-system basis.
This is one in a series of texts produced by the Nutrition Society. Public health nutrition has established itself as a major branch of nutrition, yet there is at present no recognized standard text in the field. This book aims to fill that gap.
Opening a new series of textbooks from the Nutrition Society, this introductory text is designed for use on human nutrition courses throughout the world.
