Diet Effects on Oral Cavity and Systemic Health

Dear Colleagues,

Nutritional status is an important factor in overall health, and malnutrition can significantly elevate the risk of various adverse outcomes and put a greater economic burden on both the individual and society. The promotion of oral health serves as an initial step in preventing these health problems while also lowering the risk of malnutrition. Oral health also plays an important role in the essential human activity of eating, and nutrition is closely associated with oral health status. Nevertheless, the dynamic interaction between oral health and an individual’s overall physical and mental well-being can evolve over the course of one’s life, often in tandem with changes in nutritional status, although their reporting and causal relationships have not been fully explored. In this Special Issue, I hope to gather valuable evidence on various aspects of understanding the link between oral health, nutrition, and health outcomes. I hope that this publication will provide new insights and build upon existing knowledge.
