Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Clinical and experimental intervention studies applying diet and nutrition
- Food, dietary pattern, and health
- Nutrition in different life-stages (e.g., maternal nutrition, infants and children, as well as nutrition of elderly people)
- Innovative investigation of nutritional questions related to clinical nutrition employing epigenetics, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics approaches
- Enteral and parenteral nutrition
- Assessment, prevention, and treatment of malnutrition
- Cardiovascular, hepatic; and metabolic health in relation to diet and nutrition.
