Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the population ages, promoting healthy ageing is a great concern worldwide. Certain nutritional factors have been examined as modifiable factors on healthy ageing. However, effective means of nutrition and diet have not been fully established from the perspective of healthy ageing. There continues to be a need for implementation-worthy evidence on “which nutritional factors are important” and “which measures can be expected to be effective”.
This Special Issue will feature articles involving epidemiological studies (e.g., prospective study, systematic review of prospective studies, or Mendelian randomization) of the impact of nutritional factors on healthy ageing. With the outcome of healthy ageing, this Special Issue is interested in exploring functional disability, physical function, frailty, dementia, cognitive impairment, and survival without major chronic diseases. This Special Issue also welcomes clinical epidemiologic studies on the effectiveness and efficiency of nutrition management to improve nutritional status, including studies using registry data (nutrition care record data).
