Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your work focusing on nutrition interventions for chronic disease management. There is a paucity in the literature regarding nutrition interventions for diverse populations as a holistic approach to healthcare. Nutrition interventions, such as diet and lifestyle changes, for the prevention and management of chronic disease are supported by a robust body of research. Evidence-based dietary guidelines recommend individuals consume fruits, vegetables, whole grains, vegetable oils, legumes, fish, and poultry in substitution for refined grains, animal fats, and red/processed meats, increasing rates of chronic diseases. However, multiple systemic challenges can also be present, exacerbating chronic disease rates. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to promote research targeting the prevention and mitigation of chronic diseases, focusing on multifaceted and innovative nutrition and medical approaches. Original research articles, case reports, and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: articles utilizing evidence-based nutrition interventions for chronic disease management with a consideration of cultural, social, and economic determinants of health, food as medicine, and implementation of nutrition interventions. By acknowledging the influence of effective nutrition interventions within medical spaces, progress can be made towards mitigating the impact of chronic conditions and promoting a more equitable healthcare system.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
