Precision Nutrition for Population Health

Dear Colleagues,

Precision nutrition, as an expansion of precision medicine, is the next frontier of nutritional science and the focus of the National Institutes of Health Strategic Plan for Nutrition for 2020–2030. It is a unifying and holistic approach to develop comprehensive and dynamic nutritional recommendations for both individual and population health by accounting for variables, such as individual genetics, dietary habits and eating patterns, circadian rhythms, socioeconomic and psychosocial characteristics, environments, physical activity, metabolomics, and the gut microbiome. Understanding the role of precision nutrition in population health across all settings, with varying access to clinical, laboratory, and financial resources, is critical to improving health and addressing the high burden of nutrition-related morbidity and mortality globally.

In this Special Issue on precision nutrition for population health, we welcome submissions focusing on the role of precision nutrition, including assessing nutrition status using novel methods, as well as AI-related approaches for tailoring diets. This includes original research, systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
