Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite all those research colleagues interested in reporting the results of their studies to our next Special Issue entitled “Lifestyle Interventions for Obesity-Related Metabolic and Vascular Disturbances Through the Life Cycle”.
In this issue, we would like to invite studies of different lifestyle strategies, including (but not limited to) physical exercise interventions, dietary interventions, their combination, or others for the rehabilitation of the obese condition and at the vascular level, and of those specific areas involved, such as cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, and their effects on the vascular system. Studies on populations with diabetes, arterial hypertension, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver, kidney disease, and cancer will be especially welcome. Similarly, vascular abnormalities under the context of obesity, including endothelial dysfunction, peripheral vascular disease, and atherosclerotic populations, are also welcome.
Our Special Issue welcomes different types of studies, including descriptive, cohort, and longitudinal studies, but especially those of the experimental type in humans and preferably including different clinical and performance variables to report results of clinical and health variables as well as physical fitness and nutritional status in the following areas:
- Obesity-related metabolic or vascular abnormalities;
- Diet interventions for obesity-related conditions;
- Nutritional and physical activity interventions in non-communicable diseases;
- Exercise training and nutritional support in obesity-related vascular conditions;
- Nutritional education for health promotion.
This Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled “Lifestyle Interventions for Obesity-Related Metabolic and Vascular Disturbances Through the Life Cycle”, welcomes original research and reviews of the literature concerning this important topic.
