Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dietary habits have long been known to have a crucial influence on human health and disease. There is mounting evidence on the association between diet, disease onset, and rheumatic diseases. Furthermore, diet, nutrition, and weight loss interventions have shown promise in improving some of the burden of these diseases. Further comprehension of the contribution of diet and nutrition to rheumatic diseases may lead to the development of lifestyle changes that may give patients a feeling of control and ownership over their disease, as well as contribute to novel therapies.
The aim of the current Special Issue is to cover promising, recent, and novel research studies on the role of diet and nutrition in rheumatic diseases. We welcome original research articles, review articles, systematic reviews, and opinions. Potential areas to be covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Gut microbiota;
- Diet supplements;
- Probiotics;
- Prebiotics;
- Diet;
- Nutrition;
- Metabolomics;
- Gut permeability.
