The Link Between Dietary Patterns and Health Outcomes

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

A proper diet can help prevent, manage, or reverse non-communicable health conditions like obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. This has propelled a weight loss industry worth billions of dollars which has raised its profile on social media. However, the universal effectiveness and risks of different dietary approaches for the general population remain unclear. Recent evidence has focused on the link between food consumption and disease prevention, leading to the development of various food guidance tools. This topic can also be addressed to all scientists who study not only the link between dietary patterns and health outcomes, as well as the therapeutic potential of food-derived compounds, but also analyze them using in vitro, in vivo, and in silico methodologies to determine the following: the impact of dietary patterns on the risks of diet-related diseases; the interactions between functionalized foods and other food components in the context of human health; novel technologies aiming to provide nutraceuticals to the organism in an active form; and the pros and cons of nutraceutical foods. We also seek studies that explore new approaches or innovative strategies to promote healthy lifestyles in children, adults, and vulnerable populations. Moreover, new nutritional trends and dietary recommendations can address both environmental sustainability and nutrition concerns by balancing the current overconsumption of grains and meats with greater intakes of vegetables, fruits, and aquatic products. The Editor invites research submissions on the connections between dietary patterns and health outcomes, health, and well-being across different age groups and in various settings (e.g., community, home, workplace, and school). Original articles, literature reviews, meta-analyses, brief reports, and commentaries are welcome.
