Nutritional Interventions to Improve Life Quality and Health Outcomes for Populations with Chronic Conditions

Dear Colleagues,

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes are some of the leading causes of death in the world. Acknowledging the multifaceted nature of chronic illnesses, this Special Issue delves into evidence-based nutritional strategies that address the unique challenges posed by chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and arthritis. Emphasizing the importance of a tailored approach, it aims to provide a comprehensive overview of dietary interventions, encompassing balanced nutrition, specific dietary modifications, and the integration of supplements when needed. By examining the impact of nutrition on inflammation, metabolic health, and overall well-being, we aim to guide healthcare professionals, policymakers, and individuals toward informed decisions that optimize health outcomes for diverse populations living with chronic conditions. This Special Issue aims to synthesize current research and best practices to contribute to the ongoing dialogue surrounding holistic healthcare approaches that prioritize nutrition as a cornerstone in the management of chronic conditions. All manuscripts (original articles, reviews, meta-analyses, and case reports) that provide a relevant scientific contribution will be considered.
