Abstract

It is well known, widely accepted, scientifically proved and published by major governmental and non-governmental organizations worldwide (e.g. WHO - World Health Organization), that nutritional misbehaviour in so called developed countries, is a major cause of diseases, morbidity and death. The phenomenon is mainly felt in aged populations, but a significant increase has also been detected more recently in young populations. This paper presents a proposal to tackle serious social and behavioural problems related to aging and nutrition. NutriMe is presented as a nutritional monitoring and advising system to help individuals to monitor and correct their behaviours. We also propose NutriMe as the main component for a public national observatory on nutritional profiles for public health analysis purposes.
