Environmental Influences on Dietary Patterns and Disease Risk: Nutritional Pathways and Health Implications
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Research Topic delves into the complex interconnections between environmental conditions and human nutrition, revealing how factors such as air quality, climate change, urbanization, and food accessibility can shape dietary patterns and elevate disease risk. Contributors are encouraged to investigate the mechanisms through which pollutants, toxins, and extreme weather events affect nutrient metabolism, gut health, and chronic disease outcomes, as well as how these exposures may exacerbate health disparities in vulnerable populations. Submissions may explore topics ranging from epigenetic modifications driven by environmental–dietary interactions to community-based interventions designed to improve nutrition and mitigate pollution. By bringing together scholars from nutrition, environmental science, epidemiology, public health, and policy, this collection aims to deepen our understanding of environment–nutrition–disease dynamics and promote actionable strategies for disease prevention. Ultimately, the goal is to support evidence-based policies and interventions that enhance global health, reduce inequities, and safeguard the nutritional well-being of diverse communities.
