Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutritional exposures have the potential to impact health through a variety of biologic mechanisms, including the influence on inflammation and oxidant balance, alteration of the gut microbiome, and epigenetic change. Indeed, the World Health Organization recognized an unhealthy diet as a prominent risk factor for the development of chronic disease. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that nutrition may contribute more specifically to the pathogenesis and severity of asthma and allergic disease, affecting hundreds of millions of individuals globally. A thorough understanding of which nutritional factors may contribute to disease, and how, is critical to achieving progress in the goal of reducing disease incidence and morbidity. This Special Issue aims to collect original research articles, reviews, and short papers on the topic of evidence (including interventions) in the prevention or management of asthma and allergy.
