Disease and Dietary Pattern in Edo Central Nigeria,’ a paperback research study on chronic diseases and dietary habits, vital for researchers, policymakers, and the public.
Delve into the complex relationship between health and nutrition in “Disease and Dietary Pattern in Edo Central Nigeria.” This essential paperback offers a rigorous examination of chronic diseases in developing countries, challenging the outdated notion that they are solely “diseases of affluence.” Based on extensive fieldwork conducted in a semi-urban area of mid-west Nigeria, this book sheds light on why these conditions are paradoxically escalating at a faster rate in developing regions compared to industrialized nations decades ago.
The author critically observes that a lack of proper health information and prevalent ignorance are significant barriers to fostering good dietary habits across Africa, often more so than financial constraints. This compelling research work is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in public health, nutrition, and development studies.
