We are now accepting Special Issue proposals for the new Section “Geriatric Nutrition” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nutrients/sections/Geriatric_Nutrition) of the journal Nutrients (ISSN: 2072-6643). If you are an active researcher in the field and are passionate about publishing cutting-edge research, please do not hesitate to contact the Section Managing Editor, Ms. Amy Xie (amy.xie@mdpi.com).

Nutrition plays a crucial role in health throughout the life span and can meaningfully contribute to the health status later in life. There is a growing scientific and clinical interest in the role of nutritional factors as determinants of the aging process, with them being the key contributor to longevity and the prevention and treatment of the chronic diseases most frequently observed in old age.

The Section “Geriatric Nutrition” aims to publish high-quality scientific contributions providing novel insights into the impact of nutrition on the aging process, longevity, and on all aspects of the physical, mental, and emotional health, social issues, and wellbeing of human aging. The Section “Geriatric Nutrition” also includes high-quality scientific contributions on in vitro and animal studies investigating the link between nutrition and aging, as well as age-associated diseases.

Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access journal advancing knowledge in the field of human nutrition. Nutrients is fully covered by the leading indexing services, including PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science), Scopus/SciVerse, and Google Scholar. Full-text articles are also available in PubMed Central. The newly released Impact Factor of Nutrients is 5.719.
