Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rising incidence of pediatric endocrine and metabolic diseases has attracted increased attention in recent years. One potential cause is the "modern" lifestyle, which includes significant differences in diet and physical activity compared to the patterns practiced several decades ago. In addition to metabolic diseases, related endocrine diseases, including vitamin D deficiency and thyroid–gonad disorders, also contribute to poor clinical complications and difficulties regarding management.
The aim of this Special Issue “Advances in Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism Disorders” is to gather original research manuscripts, meta-analyses, and reviews related to endocrine and metabolic disorders in children, and the latest developments in their prevention and treatment, among other topics.
Dr. Ignacio Díez López
