Effects of Diet on Metabolic Health of Obese People

Dear Colleagues,

Obesity is considered as an indispensable component of metabolic health assessment and metabolic syndrome diagnosis. This Special Issue, entitled ‘Effects of Diet on Metabolic Health of Obese People’, aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of diet and bioactive compounds in supporting the metabolic health of people with excessive adipose tissue, as well as to present the negative impact of dietary patterns or food components on health. Diet and individual food compound intake shape metabolism and body composition. Both nutrients and their metabolites constitute the key biological and functional outputs linking metabolic pathways with health and disease. Advances in research methods and techniques, such as metabolomics, make it possible to capture the subtle changes in the metabolome as a result of the different dietary patterns or dietary interventions. The overall focus of this Special Issue is to investigate the effect of food components and dietary interventions on the changes in metabolic health. Metabolic health biomarkers include various components, such as body composition, insulin resistance, lipid profiles, and inflammation. This Special Issue unravels their associations with diet, dietary patterns, dietary interventions, dietary supplements, and bioactive compounds. The Editors invite relevant original studies and reviews (systematic reviews and meta-analyses and also narrative reviews) for this Special Issue.
