Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrition is closely related to the occurrence and development of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, respiratory diseases, and osteoporosis. Reasonable dietary nutrition can not only fundamentally prevent or delay the occurrence of chronic diseases but also affect the prognosis of chronic diseases. This requires clarifying from different perspectives whether specific ingredients in food are effective in preventing and treating chronic diseases or have health-promoting effects, such as zinc and its role in hormone metabolism and carbohydrate, lipid, and protein nutrients.
This Special Issue aims to collate novel research applications on nutrition in preventing and managing frailty and multimorbidity. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Diet in diabetic overweight patients.
- Oncologic patients with cachexia: what nutritional approach?
- Nutritional supplements as an add-on strategy in dementia: are there beneficial substances?
- Dietetic approaches in hypertension: sodium correction only?
- Role of amino acids’ supplementation in heart failure.
- Diet and metabolic syndrome.
- Improved absorption in cystic fibrosis.
