 Micronutrients are fundamental components of healthy foods that are necessary for the prevention and good management of chronic conditions in the world population. In a recent study [1] involving Haitian-Americans, African-Americans, and Cuban-Americans, the researchers explored if any differences existed in the level of nutrients intake between the participants who were not diabetic and those who were. The level of adequacy of nutrient intake was also analyzed between the members of these three ethnic groups.

Mickelder Kercy, M.D. M.S.I learned about the art and science of medicine and was introduced to the community and population-based aspects of public health at the Université Notre Dame d'Haiti. My early practical interventions in the field of public health during medical residency in Haiti fostered my interest in pursuing additional academic training in public health. At Columbia University in the City of New York, I specialized in Public Health with a minor focus on Community Health Education. My special interest is in non-communicable chronic diseases, and the social-ecological approach to health education and promotion in secular and faith-based communities.
