Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are launching a Special Issue on “Cardiovascular Disease Self-Care Interventions” in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH). For detailed information on IJERPH, we refer you to the journal’s website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph.

The number of individuals with cardiovascular disease, which is the primary cause of mortality and morbidity in the general population, has increased worldwide. Several risk factors, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, and smoking, have been shown to accelerate the progression of cardiovascular disease. While medication is the one of the methods of treatment, self-care interventions, including nutrition therapy and exercise, are important to the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Self-care interventions also include the use of devices, diagnostics, and digital products. Self-care is defined as the ability of individuals and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness with or without the support of a health worker.

This Special Issue welcomes original research articles either highlighting self-care interventions for cardiovascular disease or providing new clinical data related to risk factors for cardiovascular disease in daily life.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2500 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

(1) Background: As no study has evaluated the risk factors contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes according to body weight mass (BMI) categories in a large cohort and over a long period in a Japanese population, we aimed to assess them in 46,001 Japanese individuals; (2) Methods: This long-term retrospective cohort study included individuals who participated in a medical health checkup program at Panasonic Corporation from 2008 to 2018. In total, 3,208 participants developed type 2 diabetes. The BMI at 2008 were divided into 3 groups: BMI < 22 kg/m2, 22 ≤ BMI < 25 kg/m2, and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 to evaluate the risk factors for type 2 diabetes; (3) Results: Cox regression analyses revealed that the significant risk factors were age, BMI, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting plasma glucose, current smoking status, and alcohol consumption in populations with BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2. The risk factors in the population with 22 ≤ BMI < 25 kg/m2 were identical to that of BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2 excluding systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and skipping breakfast. However, in the population with BMI < 22.0 kg/m2, no association was found as to BMI, SBP, LDL cholesterol level, and triglycerides; (4) Conclusions: The risk factors for developing diabetes were quite different between the population with BMI < 22 kg/m2 and the population with 22 ≤ BMI < 25 kg/m2 or BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 in a Japanese population.

Objectives: We verified the clinical usefulness of an approach method in which a physician gives simple salt reduction instructions during outpatient visits to patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This study was an open-blind, randomized controlled trial. Subjects were outpatients with type 2 diabetes whose estimated salt intake using spot morning urine sample exceeded the target of salt intake. The control group (CG) was notified only of the current salt intake, whereas the intervention group (IG) was given the brief salt reduction instruction by a physician in addition to the information regarding their current salt intake. Results: The change in estimated salt intake was −0.6 g (from 10.1 to 9.5 g, p = 0.029) in the CG after 8 weeks, and −0.9 g (from 10.1 to 9.2 g, p = 0.001) in the IG, although there were no significant differences between them (p = 0.47). After 24 weeks, both groups no longer differed significantly from the baseline. In addition, multivariate linear regression analyses indicated that high salt intake and low estimated glomerular filtration rate at baseline were significantly associated with salt reduction after 8 weeks. Conclusions: Salt-reducing effects were observed after 8 weeks in both the IG and CG, but no significant difference was observed. Moreover, patients with high salt intake and renal disfunction may be more effective in accepting salt reduction instructions. Making patients aware of the importance of salt reduction through a physician is effective for continuous salt reduction, and it is important to continue regular and repetitive guidance. Full article
