The understanding of the importance of nutrition with a focus on life course perspective is progressing today. the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) showed the promotion for life course perspective nutrition action. There have been very few studies on the effective solutions for the improvement of nutrition and there is still not a clear consensus on this issue. However, in recent years, policy studies suggesting solutions to nutritional issues with a focus on life course perspective have been published. Therefore, in this study, we reviewed these potential solutions and examined the relationship between these potential solutions and their impacts along the stages of life.
The methodology used was as follows: 1) A characteristic nutritional problem at a certain timeline is extracted; 2) Nutrition-sensitive and/or Nutrition-specific programs is implemented; and 3) the framework of the programs includes the “development of effective nutrition services,”“early intervention (long-term nutrition education),”“social security,”“monitoring and evaluation (development of measurement indicators),”and the “development of professional (leadership) training (improvement of coordination capacity of multi-field collaboration),”all of which may be important.
