Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical and nutritional personalized practices, in elderly active and healthy aging, are key factors in maintaining general health, wellbeing, and quality of life. The health of the elderly is a delicate balance between endogenous factors such as genetics, aging, disease, and nutritional status, and exogenous factors such as environment, dietary pattern, and lifestyles. In fact, older adults frequently present several comorbidities, leading to malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty. In this context, personalized nutritional support of older adults with metabolic, digestive, cardiorespiratory, neurological, or other chronic disorders may be a major challenge.
This Special Issue of Nutrients on “Personalized Nutrition for Older Adults” aims to publish scientific papers with a focus on clinical and nutritional practices, in the elderly population, from an interdisciplinary and societal perspective.
The Special Issue welcomes original research that report new insights into the impact of clinical and nutritional practices for elder citizens. Interdisciplinary approaches are highly appreciated, as the health of the elderly requires teams in different areas of expertise. In addition, interventional studies that examine associations of different factors, original pre-clinical and clinical studies, reviews, and systematic reviews will also be considered.
