Nutritional Behaviour and Cardiovascular Risk Factor Modification

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular diseases have been the leading cause of death for many years and have a relevant impact on general morbidity. Therefore, we should make every effort to reduce the associated risk factors as much as possible. To achieve this, nutrition is a central component of action; it is not only crucial to know which components should be included in a healthy diet but also to know which factors should be avoided. Modern nutritional concepts such as intermittent fasting or a high-protein diet are currently gaining popularity. At the same time, there are continuous discussions on which components are harmful or not. For example, the long-term proposed cardioprotective effect of limited amounts of wine has been questioned in latest studies.

The aim of this Special Issue of Nutrients is to compile current studies on the effects of nutritional behavior and the associated interventions for cardiovascular risk. The inclusion of modern technical solutions including fitness trackers, smartwatches and AI technologies is highly appreciated. We welcome the submission of original articles as well as up-to-date literature reviews to provide a comprehensive overview on the latest data in the field.
