Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with diet and lifestyle playing pivotal roles in both prevention and management. Despite extensive research, important questions regarding the effectiveness of dietary patterns, nutritional interventions, and lifestyle behaviors across diverse populations remain.
This Special Issue aims to compile original research articles, systematic reviews, and perspectives that advance our understanding of how nutrition and lifestyle behaviors influence cardiovascular health. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, dietary patterns (e.g., Mediterranean, plant-based, DASH), nutrient-specific effects, physical activity, weight management, behavioral interventions, and implementation science. We particularly welcome studies that explore health disparities, personalized nutrition approaches, and the translation of evidence into practice and policy.
We look forward to receiving contributions that enrich scientific research in this important field of study.
