Integration of the context in nutritional interventions: Reflections and different approaches
DOI:

context, intervention, eating behavior, nutritionAbstract
Nutritional interventions are intended to improve the health and well-being of individuals; however, given the latent increase in chronic-degenerative diseases and the low effectiveness of these interventions, it is essential to reflect on the elements that are being considered in these interventions. Context integration involves considering a wide range of factors that influence people's eating practices and dietary choices, this multidimensional approach seeks to understand and address individual and community circumstances that affect nutrition and health. This article addresses approaches to the integration of context in nutritional interventions with the aim of providing a perspective that allows understanding and recognizing the influence of biological, psychological, social, cultural, economic and environmental factors on nutrition and thereby obtaining tools that allow improving the designs of nutritional interventions that consider not only nutritional needs, but also the individual and community circumstances of people.
