Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine, entitled “Personalized Medicine of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders”, which highlights the most recent evidence concerning the role of risk factors, biomarker identification, risk behaviors, and the development of obesity and metabolic disorders. The search for biomarkers, particularly in relation to obesity and metabolic disorders, is one of the new key goals of personalized medicine, as, alongside clinical or paraclinical data, they could clarify the physiopathological mechanisms of obesity and metabolic disorders.
This Special Issue aims to offer an overview of exciting new research on how biomarkers, family and personal medical history, and different lifestyle behaviors can influence the risks of occurrence of obesity and metabolic disorders and how to facilitate the development of personalized interventions in preventive behaviors and management strategies for these conditions.
The articles included will highlight the latest evidence and clinical interventions in the assessment and clinical follow-up of obesity and metabolic disorders, in the following forms:
- Narrative, scoping, or systematic reviews;
- Original research articles, including clinical and randomized controlled trials;
- Health services and primary care research, including the implementation of science interventions or related knowledge.
