Nutritional Interventions in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Neurodegenerative diseases represent an escalating global health burden along with population aging, with increasing evidence highlighting the role of nutrition, metabolic health, and natural compounds in the risk, onset, and progression of late-life dementia and cognitive decline. This Special Issue invites multidisciplinary contributions of original preclinical and clinical research and reviews exploring how nutritional status, metabolic disorders, including but not limited to obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular problems, or anorexia, as well as dietary interventions influence neurodegeneration. Topics may include new links between obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes with neurodegenerative diseases, oral supplementation with natural products, dietary modulation of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, gut–brain axis interactions, and nutrient–gene interactions. By integrating insights across basic and clinical sciences, this issue aims to foster a deeper understanding of nutrition-based strategies for the prevention and treatment of disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and others.
