Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, are characterized by the progressive loss of neurons in the brain. While the exact causes of these diseases are not fully understood, there is growing evidence to suggest that nutritional factors play a role in their development and progression.
Several studies have highlighted the potential of dietary interventions in protecting against age-related cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. Lifestyle strategies, including nutritional interventions, have been shown to be safe, cost-effective, and effective in preventing and reducing cognitive decline. These interventions can have significant personal and societal benefits.
The role of nutrition in neurodegeneration is intricate and multifaceted. Although specific dietary patterns and nutrients have exhibited potential in preventing and mitigating cognitive decline and neurodegeneration, additional research is required to comprehensively grasp the underlying mechanisms and formulate effective nutritional interventions.
This Special Issue aims to include manuscripts that focus on nutrition, diet, nutritional treatment, and/or weight status in relation to the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The presented materials are the result of the international scientific cooperation of experts specializing in these issues. We hope that this Special Issue will be useful for clinical practitioners and inspire further innovative research.
