Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interplay between nutrition and chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) dynamics is an emerging area of research with significant implications for public health. Dietary intervention strategies, including macronutrient composition, micronutrient supplementation, and functional foods, can influence individual susceptibility and population-level outcomes during epidemics. Recent studies indicate that metabolic status—encompassing glucose regulation, lipid metabolism, and immune-modulating metabolites—are related to disease onset, severity, and progression.
Metabolic analyses, such as metabolomics, lipidomics, and microbiome profiling, enable researchers to identify biomarkers that predict disease onset and progression, monitor nutritional interventions, and personalize dietary strategies.
The integration of dietary interventions with metabolic analyses can support preparedness to prevent, diagnose, and respond by
- Identifying vulnerable populations with metabolic imbalances;
- Guiding nutritional therapies to reduce disease burden;
- Informing public health policies.
This Special Issue invites submissions of research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that explore the connection between nutrition, metabolism, and epidemic outcomes. Studies leveraging omics technologies, computational modeling, and population health data to optimize nutritional interventions are particularly welcome.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
