NEW! INTERNATIONAL NUTRITION COUNCIL MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT CAMPAIGN!

American Society for Nutrition (ASN) members total over 3,800 - each dedicated to improving the quality of life through the science of nutrition. ASN is committed to bringing together the world's top nutrition medical practitioners, researchers, policy makers and industry leaders to advance our knowledge and application of nutrition for the sake of humans and animals. Our members' specialties range from the most critical details of research to the broadest applications in society. All of our international members benefit greatly from ASN membership.

Well over 40 countries are represented by the ASN membership. The Society strives to keep in mind the unique translational and communication needs of its international members. A representative from the International Council sits on the ASN Executive Board in order to reinforce ASN's global scientific mission.

ASN's international nature can also be seen in the Society's publications. Both the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN) and the Journal of Nutrition (JN) publish studies from authors across the world. The Nutritional Epidemiology and Public Health or Community and International Nutrition journal issue topics highlight crucial international research and clinical applications.

For example, in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 86, No. 1, 206-213, July 2007, authors Kentaro Murakami, Satoshi Sasaki, Yoshiko Takahashi, Kazuhiro Uenishi, Mitsuyo Yamasaki, Hitomi Hayabuchi, Toshinao Goda, Jun Oka, Keiko Baba, Kazuko Ohki, Toshiyuki Kohri, Kanako Muramatsu, and Mika Furuki published "Hardness (difficulty of chewing) of the habitual diet in relation to body mass index and waist circumference in free-living Japanese women aged 18-22 y".

And, in the Journal of Nutrition 137:1455-1459, June 2007, authors Leslie G. Payne, Kristine G. Koski, Eduardo Ortega-Barria and Marilyn E. Scott published "Benefit of Vitamin A Supplementation on Ascaris Reinfection Is Less Evident in Stunted Children" regarding a Panamanian initiative.
