Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The burden of cardiometabolic diseases continues to increase globally among both men and women. Sex differences have been demonstrated in the prevalence of metabolic traits, risk factors, and diseases, including body fat distribution, glucose regulation, lipid metabolism, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Dietary intake, an important modifiable risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases, has also been shown to differ between men and women.
This Special Issue aims to highlight new research on dietary/nutritional and other factors underlying sex differences in metabolism and cardiometabolic disorders, and to synthesize existing research in this area, in order to provide insights on gaps in the current knowledge, emerging research areas, and future directions.
We encourage scientists/investigators working in this area to submit original research articles, narratives, and systematic reviews that synthesize current literature and highlight gaps in the current knowledge and emerging research directions.
