Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lifestyle profoundly influences women’s health across their natural lifespans, ranging from adolescence through the reproductive years to menopause and beyond. Nutrition and physical activity play key roles in shaping obstetric and gynecological outcomes, hormonal and metabolic balance, sexual and reproductive health, and overall well-being.
This Special Issue, entitled “Nutrition, Lifestyle and Women’s Health”, will advance integrative and personalized perspectives on how lifestyle factors interact with women’s physiology. We particularly welcome contributions that explore the multidimensional interconnections among metabolic, inflammatory, endocrine, and neurobehavioral systems in response to nutrition and physical activity.
This Special Issue invites original research articles, reviews, and meta-analyses covering, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Nutrition and physical activity in menstrual health, pregnancy, menopause, and aging;
- Mechanistic studies linking lifestyle, metabolism, and hormonal regulation (e.g., in dysmenorrhea, PCOS, or metabolic syndrome);
- Sex-specific experimental designs accounting for menstrual cycle phase and hormonal contraceptive use;
- Integrative behavioral science and feasibility-focused interventions for promoting sustainable health behaviors;
- Translational and interdisciplinary research bridging basic science, clinical application, and public health policy;
- Studies addressing sexual and reproductive health as integrative outcomes of lifestyle, hormonal, and metabolic regulation.
By emphasizing integration, personalization, and feasibility, this Special Issue will foster precision lifestyle medicine for women’s health, promoting evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes across the lifespan.
