Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The process of aging is defined by a gradual deterioration in the body's capacity to maintain homeostasis, largely attributed to the onset of cellular and systemic dysfunction. Although aging is influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, research has demonstrated that dietary management, lifestyle modifications, and regular physical activity are among the most effective strategies for delaying or even preventing the onset of age-related diseases. The objective of this Special Issue, entitled "Diet and Nutrition Strategies for Age-Related Health Issues", is to present original research and comprehensive review articles that examine the multifaceted role of various vitamins and nutrients in promoting health and combating disease during the aging process. This collection will examine the potential benefits of functional foods and various dietary interventions, including calorie restriction, intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, and fasting-mimicking diets, as well as specific dietary patterns such as the ketogenic, Mediterranean, DASH, and MIND diets, in mitigating age-related conditions. We encourage submissions that examine the interplay between diet and metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, chronic inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. We also invite original research and review articles, including systematic reviews, that advance our understanding of this crucial and evolving field.
