Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the journal Nutrients focuses on the critical intersections between nutrition, obesity, and chronic diseases, examining how dietary factors influence the prevalence and progression of obesity-related health conditions. Nutritional interventions serve as a pivotal treatment approach, with their significance greatly enhanced when integrated with other therapies such as pharmacological and surgical treatments. In a world where chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver disease continue to rise, understanding the role of nutrition in managing obesity is more crucial than ever.
This Special Issue aims to bring together a range of research articles, reviews, and that explore various aspects of how nutrition impacts obesity and its associated health risks. From the efficacy of personalized dietary interventions to the socio-economic factors influencing dietary choices, this Special Issue will shed light on the complex relationships between diet, body weight, and chronic disease outcomes.
Through rigorous research and thoughtful discussion, this Special Issue seeks to inform and inspire healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers to develop more effective strategies for combating obesity and enhancing public health.
Prof. Dr. Hae-Jin Ko
