  • Nutrigenomics;
  • Functional genomics;
  • SNP’s;
  • Metabolomics;
  • Microbiota and microbiomics;
  • Epigenetics and epigenomics;
  • OMICs age management interventions;
  • Child nutrition;
  • Young adult nutrition;
  • Mature adult nutrition;
  • Senescent nutrition;
  • Nutritional senolytics;
  • Menopause andropause;  
  • Gene–diet interactions;  
  • Personalized nutrition;  
  • Nutritional endocrine/hormonal modulation;  
  • Dietary patterns;

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Abstract
Our study aimed to identify sweetness preference-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), characterize the related genetic loci, and develop SNP-based polygenic risk scores (PRS) to analyze their associations with obesity. For genotyping, we utilized a pooled genome-wide association study (GWAS) dataset of 18,499 females and [...] Read more.
Our study aimed to identify sweetness preference-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), characterize the related genetic loci, and develop SNP-based polygenic risk scores (PRS) to analyze their associations with obesity. For genotyping, we utilized a pooled genome-wide association study (GWAS) dataset of 18,499 females and 10,878 males. We conducted genome-wide association analyses, functional annotation, and employed the weighted method to calculate the levels of PRS from 677 sweetness preference-related SNPs. We used Cox proportional hazards modeling with time-varying covariates to estimate age-adjusted and multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for obesity incidence. We also tested the correlation between PRS and environmental factors, including smoking and dietary components, on obesity. Our results showed that in males, the TT genotype of rs4861982 significantly increased obesity risk compared to the GG genotype in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS) cohort (HR = 1.565; 95% CI, 1.122–2.184; p = 0.008) and in the pooled analysis (HR = 1.259; 95% CI, 1.030–1.540; p = 0.025). Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type O (PTPRO) was identified as strongly associated with sweetness preference, indicating a positive correlation between sweetness preference and obesity risk. Moreover, each 10 pack-year increment in smoking was significantly associated with an increased risk of obesity in the HPFS cohort (HR = 1.024; 95% CI, 1.000–1.048) in males but not in females. In conclusion, significant associations between rs4861982, sweetness preference, and obesity were identified, particularly among males, where environmental factors like smoking are also correlated with obesity risk.
