Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer and other chronic diseases are the leading causes of death. These multifactorial diseases are developed due to a long-term disturbance to the biology, behavioral, as well as environments. Poor nutrition/diet (e.g., measured by dietary micronutrients, macronutrients, food groups, or overall patterns) are common and major determinants in the development of most cancer and chronic disease. In addition, poor diet is also highly correlated with low SES and other unhealthy behaviors, such as smoking, alcohol drinking, and physical inactivity.
In this Special Issue, “Nutrition and Diet on the Prevention and Management of Cancer and Other Chronic Disease”, we will present state-of-the-art approaches in dietary/nutrition, which aim to better understand the cause of nutrition-related diseases, their consequences, and prognosis. There will be a particular focus on the role of diet/nutrition on cancer and chronic disease, their interplay with biological factors, health/risk behaviors, and social determinants of health factors. Nutrition and dietary factors including dietary patents, micronutrients, antioxidants, dietary intervention, innovation approaches, or new technology applications are highly welcome topics in this issue. Original articles or short communications that advance current knowledge on the role of nutrition and diet on cancer and chronic disease are also welcome. We will also accept protocol, narrative reviews and systematic reviews or meta-analyses.
We look forward to your contributions.
