N2  - This comprehensive volume explores how diet and specific nutrients affect immune function and resistance to infections, integrating foundational immunology with nutritional science across the life course—from infancy to aging. It addresses the dual impact of undernutrition and overnutrition, examines the roles of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and probiotics in immune regulation, and considers the effects of obesity, malnutrition, HIV, and environmental stressors. Drawing on molecular studies, clinical trials, and translational research, the book provides a global perspective with contributions from leading experts in nutrition, immunology, and public health, offering valuable insights for nutrition scientists, dietitians, health practitioners, and students
