Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of nutritional genomics, nutrigenetic and nutrigenomics is generating increasing attention, and consumers seem to be increasingly interested in understanding how general nutritional recommendations may be shaped by their unique genetic fingerprint. Gene–diet interactions play an enormous role in human health and are typically only partially assessed. Healthcare providers receive scarce knowledge on these interactions, thus jeopardizing the application of precision nutrition. Moreover, market initiatives have been developing to fulfill the market´s increasing interest in prevention through nutrition in order to optimize people’s health.
At the same time, the communication of studies and results assessing specific gene–diet interactions and how these may interfere with human health need to be accelerated to meet public health needs. In this Special Issue, we aim to communicate results assessing gene–diet interactions in humans, specifically those related to health effects and health claims. We would like to bring readers closer to the state-of-the-art developments in the field of nutritional genomics by gathering papers that cover different aspects of the relationships between genetics, nutrition and health effects. Original research articles and reviews (systematic reviews, critical reviews and meta-analyses) are welcome.
