Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There remains a need to understand how the diet habits and lifestyle-related behaviours of community-dwelling older adults have been impacted by both the global pandemic and the increase in the cost of living. Healthy diet habits and lifestyle-related behaviours are essential for older adults to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases, but also to maintain a good quality of life. Community-based dietary and physical interventions for older adults have begun to be developed and implemented; however, complex dietary and lifestyle-related interventions are required to support the health and quality of life of community-dwelling older adults. The aim of this Special Issue is to collate contemporary studies and discussions which explore diet habits and lifestyle-related behaviours of community-dwelling older adults.
