Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this Special Issue, titled “Dietetic Care in Primary Care and Prevention”, is to publish a focused, well-referenced volume examining how dietetic care contributes to the prevention and management of chronic diseases within primary healthcare settings. This Special Issue aims to explore the essential role of comprehensive dietary support and preventive nutrition in promoting health, reducing chronic disease risks, and enhancing the overall well-being of healthcare providers.

Through studies on the implementation of nutritional strategies in primary care, we aim to contribute to best practices for the prevention of common chronic diseases, as well as to understand the impact of dietetic support on the well-being of healthcare providers, including its role in mitigating burnout. Manuscripts should present robust, detailed evidence on clinical preventive nutrition and dietary management within primary care. We welcome experimental, clinical, translational, and behavioral studies, as well as reviews and meta-analyses.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Effects of dietetic care on chronic disease prevention within primary care.
  • Strategies for dietary support and their impact on the physical and mental health of healthcare professionals.
  • Role of dietetic care in reducing stress and preventing burnout among healthcare providers.
  • Evaluations of nutritional interventions in primary care for health promotion.
  • Impact of nutrition on developing preventive strategies for cardiovascular, metabolic, and other chronic conditions.

Objectives: To analyze the effects of the combination of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) supplementation and a health-related lifestyle intervention on disease activity and cardiovascular disease risk factors in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Methods: A total of 38 women with SLE were randomly assigned to EVOO (n = 9) and EVOO combined with multicomponent health promotion and physical exercise program (EVOO + HRLI) (n = 15) or control (CG) (n = 14) groups for 24 weeks. Baseline and post-intervention assessments were performed, collecting data on disease activity, accrual damage, blood biochemical parameters, arterial stiffness parameters, Framingham risk score, anthropometric and body composition measurements, and cardiovascular risk factors. Results: No changes in disease activity were observed in any group after the intervention. For cardiovascular risk, significant differences were observed in the intervention groups for systolic and mean blood pressure, with greater reductions in the EVOO + HRLI (p = 0.036 vs. p < 0.001; p = 0.017 vs. p < 0.001, respectively). The EVOO group showed significant reductions in BFM and BFP (p = 0.042, p = 0.022, respectively). The EVOO+ HRLI group also showed significant reductions in triglycerides (p < 0.001), Aix brachial (p = 0.037), central systolic blood pressure (p < 0.001), central pulse pressure (p = 0.05), body mass index (p = 0.006), body fat mass and skeletal muscle mass (p = 0.039) after the intervention. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that a multidisciplinary program integrating nutritional interventions, health education, and the promotion of regular physical activity in SLE patients has the potential to significantly improve cardiovascular risk factors and body composition parameters. Thus, integrating this approach into clinical practice alongside usual pharmacological treatments would be beneficial for SLE patients. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05261529. Full article

(1) Background: The consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) constitutes a public health problem given their high availability and easy accessibility among children and young people and their influence on the development of non-communicable diseases in the long term. In this context, culture and religion may be modulating factors for the consumption of processed food. The aim of this study is to assess the consumption of UPFs in Spanish schoolchildren living in Melilla (North Africa), together with the possible impact of religion on this. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study of 590 Christian and Muslim schoolchildren aged 15–17 years was conducted. The NOVA food classification was used to identify UPFs. Associations between religion and daily consumption were identified using risk analysis (Odds Ratio). (3) Results: Muslim schoolchildren had a higher consumption of industrial juices [OR = 2.700, 95%CI = 1.830–4.037], milkshakes [OR = 2.925, 95% = 1.850–4.748], industrial pastries [OR = 2.217, 95% = 1.440–3.510], sweets [OR = 2.197, 95%CI = 1.437–3.541], chocolates [OR = 2.272, 95%CI = 1.482–3.606] and savory snacks [OR = 3.431, 95%CI = 1.844–6.579] compared to that observed among Christians. (4) Conclusions: Both Muslim and Christian schoolchildren had a high consumption of UPFs. Regarding the potential impact of religion on the consumption of UPF, we observed that Muslim schoolchildren consumed three to four times more UPF than Christian schoolchildren. These results show a shift away from a healthy eating pattern, especially among Muslim schoolchildren. Thus, it is necessary to implement nutritional education strategies in order to understand and control the consumption of UPF in adolescents, thereby reducing the occurrence of non-communicable diseases in the long term.

Background/Objectives: Chronic kidney disease is associated with increased intestinal barrier permeability, leading to heightened inflammation and oxidative stress. These changes contribute to complications such as cardiovascular disease, anemia, altered mineral metabolism, and CKD progression. Interventions using prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics may mitigate dysbiosis and improve intestinal barrier function, Under this premise, the objective of this network meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics in reducing uremic toxins produced by the gut microbiota in CKD patients. Methods: A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) was performed in the following databases: Web of Science, Scopus, the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, and PubMed published between 2019 and 2023. The analysis focused on the use of prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics in CKD patients at stages 3 to 5, as per KDIGO guidelines, and their association with reductions in uremic toxins such as Indoxyl Sulfate, p-Cresyl Sulfate, urea, and creatinine. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool (RoB 2), with evaluations conducted independently by two reviewers, and a third consulted for disagreements. The study follows the PRISMA statement. Results: The studies included 331 patients, primarily male, across CKD stages 3a to 5. The interventions positively impacted the gut microbiota composition, leading to reductions in free and total p-Cresyl Sulfate (SUCRA: 72.6% and 66.2, respectively) and indoxyl sulfate (SUCRA: 88.5% and 83.1%). Conclusions: The findings suggest that modulating the gut microbiota through these interventions can effectively reduce specific uremic toxins. However, further trials are necessary to better understand microbiota modulation and its impact on intestinal bacterial composition (PROSPERO number: CRD42023438901). Full article
