Special Issue Information

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.

Abstract
Background: Celiac disease (CeD) requires lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD). However, there is evidence that a GFD may lead to an unhealthy cardiometabolic risk profile and potentially increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in some patients.

Background: Celiac disease (CeD) requires lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD). However, there is evidence that a GFD may lead to an unhealthy cardiometabolic risk profile and potentially increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in some patients. Incorporating plant-based foods (primarily derived from plants) into a GFD may offer a solution to improve cardiometabolic health. Thus, this study aimed to identify the attitudes toward and barriers to adopting a more plant-dominant diet among Danish patients with CeD. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was distributed to 2861 members of the Danish Celiac Society. Data from 959 patients with confirmed CeD were included. Results: Most participants (58.5%) reported adapting their diet after diagnosis by combining gluten-free products with plant-based foods, while 31.2% relied solely on gluten-free replacements. Dietary adaptation was primarily shaped by the limited availability of gluten-free plant-based foods (64%), taste/texture (55%), and cost (51%). More than half of the patients (56.8%) considered ‘eating more plant-based foods’, with ‘health’ being the primary motivator (70%), followed by ‘climate’ (50%) and ‘taste’ (36%). However, several barriers to a more plant-dominant diet were identified. Most notably, ‘taste and texture’ (71%), ‘limited availability of gluten-free plant-based foods’ (68%), ‘nutritional concerns’ (56%), and ‘cost’ (54%) were reported as barriers. Conclusions: Most Danish patients with CeD were generally positive about increasing their intake of plant-based foods; however, barriers to such dietary changes remain. Ongoing follow-up, practical guidance from dietitians, and accessible evidence-based resources may help patients maintain a nutritionally balanced, plant-dominant GFD that supports long-term health.
