Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Overweight and obesity, especially in childhood and adolescence, have been and still are a rising disease of epidemic proportions. Eating habits and nutrition in general have been at the epicenter of this phenomenon and numerous interventions with various perspectives have been planned and implemented in an attempt to address this issue. The aim and scope of this Special Issue is to add one more building material to the consensus that is being constructed on the ways in which we manage this disease. We are welcoming cutting-edge research of various designs, including primary research in the form of RCTs, cohort studies or cross-sectional studies that explore new areas of the role of nutrition and eating habits in obesity, as well as secondary research papers such are reviews and meta-analyses of published data relevant to this topic.
