Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
‘Metabolic disease’ is a term broader than and inclusive of ‘metabolic syndrome’. As life expectancy becomes longer, leading to the emergence of aging societies, and as the average body weight increases, as has been the case in the last two decades, the prevalence and clinical presentations of metabolic disease become more diverse. A vast number of studies focused on this area have already been published; however, due to the aspects indicated above, more recent changes in metabolic disease should be investigated. In addition, with the dramatic advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning methods have been applied to many medical fields, but their use in the field of metabolic disease has not been as frequent. The current Special Issue invites researchers to contribute studies answering questions such as the following:
- What features of metabolic disease have changed in the past decades?
- What are the clinical presentations of metabolic disease in different ethnic groups?
- Would it be possible to use new methods such as machine learning to revisit metabolic disease?
- Are there any new findings pertaining to the pathophysiology of metabolic disease?
In seeking answers to these questions, this Special Issue aims to provide new insights into the underlying mechanisms of metabolic disease and to elucidate novel clinical applications.
