Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes is becoming a major public health concern as its global incidence rises. Between 2000 and 2019, there was a 3% increase in age-standardized mortality rates from diabetes. In lower-middle-income countries, the mortality rate due to diabetes increased 13%. Dietary intake is considered one of the important modifiable risk factors for type 2 diabetes. The importance of nutrition in the management and prevention of type 2 diabetes through its effect on weight and metabolic control is clear.
The incidence of type 1 diabetes has also increased globally in recent decades. The rate of increase in childhood-onset type 1 diabetes has been 3% per year on average. There have been many studies on the potential effect on the risk of type 1 diabetes and on its increase, although we are still lacking solid evidence for such effects.
The aim of the Special Issue “Nutritional Epidemiology of Diabetes” is to showcase knowledge on nutrition epidemiology to lower the risk of or even prevent diabetes. The importance of the dietary management of both type 1 and 2 diabetes is well-established. Epidemiological studies provide an understanding of the development of the current diabetes epidemic and help in designing measures to reduce this epidemic.
For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
