Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As populations age worldwide, the burden of cardiometabolic diseases—including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome—continues to rise, threatening both health systems and individual quality of life. Nutrition plays a pivotal role in the prevention and management of these conditions, as well as in promoting healthy aging. Nutritional interventions, including dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean and DASH diets, as well as specific nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, and fiber, have shown promise in modulating inflammation, insulin sensitivity, lipid profiles, and vascular function. Beyond disease prevention, emerging research also highlights how nutrition influences biological aging markers, muscle mass preservation, cognitive resilience, and mitochondrial function. This topic explores the latest evidence on dietary strategies designed to support cardiometabolic health and promote longevity, with a focus on mechanism-based approaches, clinical interventions, and public health implications.
