Overview

Health outcomes are the measurable changes in health status that result from disease processes, behaviours, interventions, or policies, and they serve as the endpoints by which the effectiveness of care and public-health action is judged. They encompass mortality, disease incidence and prevalence, physiological and functional indicators, quality of life, and patient-reported measures, and may be assessed at the level of the individual, the clinical population, or the community. Because they integrate the influence of biological, behavioural, environmental, and social determinants, health outcomes provide a common metric for evaluating nutrition, clinical, and policy interventions and for identifying disparities between groups. Peer-reviewed research relevant to this area examines the nutritional status and health outcomes of women and children, the effects of fiscal measures such as the sugar-sweetened beverage tax, dietary diversity and nutritional status among pregnant women, self-reported health among university students over time, quality of life in disordered eating, and outcomes among people on long-term antiretroviral therapy and older populations. Studies employ cross-sectional surveys, longitudinal designs, and policy and quality-improvement analyses across diverse settings. This work connects exposures, interventions, and determinants to measurable changes in health. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research addressing nutrition and the determinants of health outcomes.
