Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic liver disease is a major global health challenge, ranking as the 12th leading cause of mortality and responsible for about 2.3 million deaths in 2021. A major contributor is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), strongly linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia, and affecting nearly one-third of adults worldwide. The adverse consequences of MASLD are largely preventable through effective control of metabolic risk factors. Understanding the relationship between diet, metabolism, and the progression of chronic liver disease is therefore essential for developing preventive and therapeutic strategies.
This Special Issue of Nutrients, “Diet and Metabolism in Chronic Liver Disease: Interventions from Primary Care and Public Health”, will highlight original contributions on the role of nutrition in managing this condition. We welcome research articles, reviews, and clinical cases examining how dietary interventions and metabolic changes influence prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The aim is to provide a comprehensive perspective that spans basic research, clinical applications, and public health strategies. This Special Issue will be of particular interest to researchers, nutritionists, primary care physicians, and public health professionals, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary and preventive approach in addressing chronic liver disease.
