Dietary Interventions for the Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis

Dear Colleagues,

Skeletal health is orchestrated through a delicate balance of bone formation and resorption, maintaining the biological and structural integrity of the skeleton. Heightened disruption of this balance leads to skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis, a condition which presents a significant healthcare burden, particularly in susceptible populations.

Extensive research has focused on understanding the critical role of diet on musculoskeletal tissue health, and the influence of nutrient supplementation as impactful to the viability and functionality of bone-remodeling cells has garnered increased interest for its potential support for and improvement of bone metabolism and health. Identifying how human diet could be optimized to preserve musculoskeletal health and suppress the onset of skeletal decline and osteoporosis remains of central importance in the field.

Our Special Issue, “Dietary Interventions for the Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis”, solicits submissions for original research, reviews, and meta-analyses examining the effects of dietary contributions as preventative or therapeutic interventions for the improvement of bone formation by reestablishing balanced bone turnover and suppressing bone loss. Elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing these effects may offer valuable guidance for the prevention and treatment of metabolic bone diseases.

We look forward to your contribution to this engaging and critical area of research.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs).
