Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Established as well as emerging evidence indicates diet and nutrition play an important role in aging and impact the development of age-related diseases. It is crucial to identify dietary and lifestyle factors that may affect aging and health, especially among older individuals that have been historically underrepresented in research. Dietary components with anti-aging effects may slow or prevent the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cognitive impairment, and dementia.
This Special Issue aims to explore the role of dietary patterns and nutritional interventions among older adults, with a particular focus on their effects on age-related diseases, including metabolic disorders, inflammation, chronic diseases, cognitive impairment, skeletal muscle mass, etc. The ultimate question is whether nutritional interventions can have a positive impact on aging and health in older adults.
We welcome your submissions to this Special Issue, “Nutritional Interventions for Age-Related Diseases”.
Dr. Jeannette M. Beasley
Guest Editor
