 The NIH also supports research that informs best practices for medical nutrition therapy of an array of acute and chronic diseases and conditions, to mitigate symptoms, delay progression, and prevent complications. These include studies of the biological mechanisms and effectiveness of dietary approaches for management of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, chronic kidney disease, inborn errors of metabolism, inflammatory bowel disease, food allergy, and consequences of cancer treatment modalities (e.g., surgery, radiation, chemotherapy).
