The Role of Dietary Intake and Food Behavior on Cardiometabolic Health: From Mechanisms to Clinical Outcomes

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiometabolic diseases, including hypertension, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, arise from complex interactions among diet, metabolic regulation and vascular dysfunction. Beyond individual nutrients, overall dietary intake patterns and food behaviors including meal timing, eating frequency, breakfast habits, late-night overeating, nutrition knowledge and adherence to specific dietary patterns, play a crucial role in shaping cardiometabolic risk.

This Special Issue aims to bring together mechanistic, clinical and population-based research exploring how diet quality, nutrient combinations and behavioral eating aspects influence metabolic homeostasis, endothelial function, inflammation, arterial stiffness and long-term cardiometabolic outcomes.
We welcome original research, clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating dietary and behavioral determinants of cardiometabolic health, including molecular mechanisms, metabolomic profiling and nutrition counseling approaches.

By integrating nutritional epidemiology with cardiometabolic physiology, this Special Issue seeks to advance understanding of how diet and eating behavior can inform preventive and therapeutic strategies for vascular and metabolic diseases.
