Nutrition and Lung Disease

Dear Colleagues,

Lung diseases are a global health problem in which high disease burden and mortality risk is not only caused by the respiratory impairment itself, but also by acute exacerbations and extra-pulmonary disease manifestations. Dietary habits and specific nutrients are involved in the development as well as progression of acute and chronic lung diseases and related comorbidities. From this broad perspective, this Special Issue will focus on the role of nutrition as a modifiable factor in the prevention and management of lung disease. We therefore welcome the submission of manuscripts describing original research or reviewing the scientific literature, preferably systematically, on this topic.
