20.1 Introduction
Scientists have long recognized the importance of the demographic and epidemio-logical transitions in higher-income countries and have more recently understood that similar sets of broadly based changes are occurring in lower-income countries. What has not been recognized is that concurrent changes are occurring in nutrition with equally important resource allocation implications for many low-income countries. This chapter provides a heuristic framework that accommodates the dynamic nature of nutrition.
Human diet and nutritional status have undergone a sequence of major shifts among characteristic states, defined as broad patterns of food use and corresponding nutrition-related disease.1
