Efforts to improve and enhance nutritional status in the community and to promote health play a crucial role in preventing chronic diseases—the primary cause of the disease burden in our country—and in ensuring a healthy aging process. As the importance of nutrition—in growth, development, the maintenance of lifelong health, the improvement of quality of life, and the treatment of health problems—has become increasingly recognized, the need for dietitians, who are key members of the healthcare team, has also grown. Today, dietitians play a major role in the protection, improvement, and maintenance of public and individual health.
