The Role of Diet and Nutrition in Chronic Disease Prevention and Management

Dear Colleagues,

Diet and nutrition have been identified as the cornerstone of diabetes and obesity management and are key in preventing and managing multiple chronic diseases. Indeed, diet and nutrition are vital for health, as they impact both physical and mental health, therefore having a large influence on quality of life in individuals that needs to be better understood.

This Special Issue will gather the latest evidence on “The Role of Diet and Nutrition in Chronic Disease Prevention and Management” and point to knowledge gaps requiring further investigation.

This special issue will encompass various types of manuscripts such as integrative reviews, scoping reviews, systematic reviews, umbrella reviews, descriptive studies, observational studies, and experimental studies, including those with quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methodologies.

Research topics may include, but are not limited to, research from around the world on how diet and nutrition impact the prevention and/or management of chronic diseases (such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and other chronic diseases) and how this affects individuals’ physical health, mental health, and quality of life throughout the human life cycle.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Prof. Dr. Isabelle Giroux
Guest Editor
