Nutrient Intake, Metabolism, and Aging

Dear Colleagues,

Population aging has become one of the major global public health challenges, increasing the need to better understand the complex interactions between nutrient intake, metabolic regulation, and healthy aging. Growing evidence indicates that dietary patterns, bioactive compounds, micronutrient status, and metabolic homeostasis play critical roles in modulating age-related physiological changes, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, immune dysfunction, and the development of age-associated diseases. In this context, the Special Issue “Nutrient Intake, Metabolism, and Aging” aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for the publication of original research, reviews, and clinical studies addressing the impact of nutrition on metabolic health and longevity. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, nutritional epidemiology, precision nutrition, nutrigenomics, functional foods, bioactive compounds, gut microbiota, metabolic disorders, sarcopenia, frailty, inflammaging, oxidative stress, and nutritional strategies to promote healthy aging and improve quality of life in older populations.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
