Nutrire publishes rigorous, impactful research that advances human nutrition and food science from molecule to population—translating discovery into clinical practice and public‑health action. We welcome original research and reviews (systematic, meta-analysis, scoping, narrative) across the following interconnected domains: Clinical and translational nutrition: Nutritional assessment and interventions across the life course; diet–disease relationships; hospital and community nutrition; perioperative/critical care; oncology, cardiometabolic, renal, hepatic, and gastrointestinal nutrition; sarcopenia and frailty; sports and exercise nutrition. Population health, policy, and equity: Nutritional epidemiology; surveillance and monitoring; food and nutrition security; social and commercial determinants of diet; implementation science; health‑services and guideline translation. Mechanisms and omics: Biochemical, molecular, and metabolic pathways linking nutrients and bioactives to health outcomes; nutrigenetics/nutrigenomics; host–microbiome–diet interactions; immunometabolism and inflammatory processes. Food science with human‑health application: Functional foods and ingredients; safety and quality; processing and preservation technologies; reformulation and fortification; sensory and consumer science—prioritized when clinical, epidemiologic, or translational significance is demonstrated. Behavioral and digital nutrition: Determinants of eating behavior and adherence; mental‑health intersections; sleep and circadian nutrition; digital food environments, online food delivery, and technology‑enabled interventions. Methods, measures, and tools: Validation of dietary assessment instruments and clinical tools; study‑design innovations; statistical and computational approaches (including AI/ML) relevant to nutrition and food systems Article types and study designs: We encourage randomized and quasi‑experimental trials; well‑designed observational studies; mechanistic/experimental work with clear translational relevance; and high‑quality evidence syntheses (systematic reviews/meta‑analyses, scoping reviews). Methodological rigor, open and transparent reporting, and ethical standards are required. Global perspective: Nutrire aims to represent diverse populations, settings, and food systems worldwide and welcomes work from low‑, middle‑, and high‑income contexts, including studies addressing health inequities and culturally tailored solutions.
