Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The importance of diet and dietary patterns in promoting healthy aging has gained significant interest in nutrition research in recent years. Understanding and identifying how diet patterns influence lifespan, prevent chronic age-related diseases, and improve quality of life in various populations is crucial for addressing the global health burden posed by aging populations.
We are pleased to invite authors to a Special Issue of Nutrients entitled “Novel Approaches to Dietary Patterns in Aging: From Observational Insights to Translational Applications”. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research that elucidates how diet patterns impact the aging process and contribute to the promotion of a longer and healthier life. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide cutting-edge research encompassing various aspects, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Original observational studies (including epidemiological and clinical studies) examining the associations between diet patterns and aging, chronic age-related diseases and quality of life;
- Original translational research (i.e., experimental studies and implementation research) investigating the impacts of diet patterns on healthy aging;
- Methodological papers focusing on the substantial obstacles faced when conducting thorough research on diet patterns and healthy aging intersect.
