Clinical Nutrition for Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue of Nutrients, we would like to bring together papers dealing with the effects of food in the prevention or treatment of chronic diseases such as cancer, metabolic disease, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, etc. We invite comprehensive reviews, clinical trials, epidemiological analyses, and studies employing cell and animal models to further elucidate the relationships between nutrition and chronic diseases.

A balanced diet and exercise have been proposed to prevent and improve the quality of life in several chronic diseases, such as cancer and neurologic or cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, clinical nutrition appears to be a feasible tool for managing the development of several chronical illnesses.

Many questions concerning the role of nutrition in the development of chronic diseases remain open. Therefore, further research is required to provide evidence on the association between nutrition and the prevention or even treatment of certain diseases.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the associations between macronutrient and micronutrient intake, dietary patterns, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological health, obesity, high blood pressure, quality of life, chronic inflammation, adipose tissue pathology, and diseases of autoimmune origin, among others.
