Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutritional epidemiology is the application of epidemiological methods to the study of how diet is related to health and disease in human populations. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), also known as chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, are the leading causes of death worldwide and represent an emerging global health threat. The exposure measure of interest in nutritional epidemiology is usually long-term diet, since the effects of intake on most health outcomes, especially those related to NCDs, are likely to occur over extended periods.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect feature papers (including original research and review articles) on the nutritional epidemiology of non-communicable diseases. Examining the role of nutritional epidemiology may reduce diet-related deaths from non-communicable diseases, induce dietary changes and create healthy and sustainable diets, preserve human and planetary health, and enable the identification of dietary patterns that meet the recommendations for healthy and sustainable diets.
