Nutrition and Cardiovascular Risk Across the Life Course

Dear Colleagues,

Dietary patterns and nutritional factors have been shown to play a key role in the development of CVD, CVD prevention, and the promotion of cardiovascular health.

This Special Issue aims to highlight new research on nutritional/dietary factors associated with cardiovascular risk, including nutrition across the lifespan, biomarkers of nutritional status, mechanistic pathways, the social and environmental contexts of nutritional intake and health disparities, gene–nutrient–environment interactions, dietary interventions, and precision nutrition approaches. It also aims to synthesize existing research in this area for insights on gaps in the knowledge, emerging research areas, and future directions.

We encourage scientists working in this area to submit original research articles, narratives, and systematic reviews that synthesize the current literature and highlight gaps in the current knowledge and emerging research directions.
