Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Both nutrition and work are fundamental aspects of life. We spend one-third of our lives working. There are countless articles on nutrition and the same is true for work. However, despite the fact that nutrition and work are intrinsically linked, there is very little data available considering both nutrition and work together.
We would like to invite articles on the relationship between diet and work. This may include the impact of work on diet, diet quality, food and/or nutrient intake, nutritional biomarkers, and nutritional status, as well as the impact of nutrition or specific diets on work, working performance, economic impacts, or health in workers.
We also invite articles on dietary interventions in the workplace. Dietary interventions could be diverse, from general incitation through the internet or company campaigns to targeted nutritional preventive strategies for some specific workers.
Nutrition and Work has emerged as an important area of research. We hope that this Special Issue will provide evidence for dietary recommendations and best practices for some specific working conditions. For example, many working conditions imply high physical demand, and putatively high energy expenditure. Another example is working in high-temperature conditions (sometimes above 50°C), which requires adaption of water or liquid intake.
Any design is accepted, including cross-sectional or longitudinal studies, from observational to interventional studies. Studies can be randomized or not, controlled or not, but all studies must be related to the topic “Nutrition and Work”. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are very welcome. We may also accept case reports when they generate some new perspectives.
We welcome any collaborative articles between disciplines, from medicine to physiology or psychology, mathematical modeling, engineering, or further specialties, as long as the topic is related to the theme of our Special Issue “Nutrition and Work”.
