title: Features and problems of nutrition among Georgian population.
abstract: The important role of food and nutrition in public health is being increasingly recognized as crucial for its potential impact on health-related quality of life. In developing countries, morbidity and mortality are directly related to protein and energy malnutrition, while in many Western countries, health officials have begun to actively promote the consumption of healthy food. The basic nutrition problems in Georgia are nutrition deficiency, deficiency of nutrients, nutrition monotonous, obesity, malnutrition. In the nutrition field is required not only adoption of appropriate laws, acts and decrees, but for practical implementation is also mandatory to set the objects, make necessary arrangements and carry out a monitoring of elaborated work. This article summarizes recent positive synergy between research in nutrition needs related. We illustrate several major examples, for which prospective synergy appears to be considerable. There have been extensive gains from such synergy in the past. Building upon research in the fields of nutrition and developing cross-sectional research are likely to have consequential payoffs in terms of understanding basic nutritional, economical and political issues.
