Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aging is a complex process involving various physiological, metabolic, and functional changes that significantly affect health and well-being. Proper nutrition is crucial in promoting healthy aging, delaying the onset of age-related diseases, and enhancing the quality of life for older adults. This Special Issue will explore advanced research and evidence-based strategies for creating dietary guidelines tailored to the unique nutritional needs of aging individuals. The key themes of this Special Issue include the importance of balancing macronutrients and micronutrients to maintain muscle mass and physical function; the effects of dietary patterns on cognitive health and metabolic regulation; and the role of functional foods or bioactive compounds in supporting healthy aging. This Special Issue will also discuss the relationship between nutrition and the prevention and management of chronic diseases, focusing on conditions such as sarcopenia, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegeneration. By gathering contributions from leading researchers, this Special Issue aims to enhance our understanding of nutritional strategies that support healthy aging and provide actionable insights for clinicians, policymakers, and caregivers within the One-Health perspective. Ultimately, it emphasizes the transformative potential of personalized dietary interventions in promoting longevity and encouraging active, independent lifestyles for older populations.
