Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lifestyles, including nutrition, play an important role in the etiology of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Dietary factors are associated with CVD morbidity and mortality, either directly or through their impact on traditional risk factors, such as: (1) plasma lipids, blood pressure, glucose balance, inflammation, weight, and body fat;(2) for primary prevention, certain changes to dietary habits have been found to reduce CVD risk; (3) an association has also been seen between dietary changes and CVD in secondary prevention. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) will focus on the current pool of knowledge regarding links between nutrition and CVD, with the aim of enabling the translation of theory into practical guidelines. In this issue, we will publish articles for both primary and secondary care clinicians—especially nutritionists and specialists—on topics relating to nutritional associations with modifiable CVD risk factors, morbidity, and mortality. Clinicians will also be able to apply this knowledge by offering their patients clear and practical recommendations [1–3].
New research papers, reviews, and conference papers are welcome to this issue. Other manuscript types accepted include methodological papers, position papers, and commentaries. We will accept manuscripts from different disciplines epidemiology, cohort, and intervention studies; and risk and health impact assessments.
Here, are some examples of topics that could be addressed in this Special Issue:
- Diatery patterns and CVD:
- Ketogenic diet vs. Paleolithic diet, low-carbohydrate diet;
- Vegetarian, vegan, plant-based diets;
- Mediterranean, Nordic, other culture-based diets.
- Food and CVD:
- Green tea, coffee, sugar-sweetened beverages;
- Tomato and tomato sauce, Turmeric;
- Whole grains and added fiber.
- Nutritional supplements and CVD:
- Magnesium;
- Omega-3;
- Red-yeast rice.
- Environmental factors associated with diet, and CVD:
- Desalinated water;
- Ultra-processed food;
- Red meat not ultra-processed;
- Bottled drinks.
