Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiometabolic diseases continue to be the most important and leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Among cardiometabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have the greatest prevalence; other cardiometabolic disorders closely related to CVDs such as diabetes mellitus and obesity produce even larger global health burdens. The benefits of consuming a high-quality diet and the role of diet essential nutrition in safeguarding cardiometabolic disease have attracted a great deal of attention.
Recently, nutrition science has advanced remarkably. In comparison with historical dietary recommendations which were based largely on cross-national studies, short-term experiments, and animal models, nutrition science has been transformed in the past two decades by more rigorous evidence from well-designed metabolic studies, prospective cohorts, and randomized clinical trials. From this perspective, it may be required to accurately analyze effective dietary components or active ingredients and subsequently establish individually optimized prevention methods for cardiometabolic health in the future.
Therefore, this Special Issue titled “Dietary Macronutrients and Cardiometabolic Diseases” aims to elucidate the role of dietary essential nutrition, natural products, diet active ingredients, or specific foods that influence cardiometabolic disorder in the context of increased adiposity or diabetes. Articles that shed light on how these factors control the development and progressions of cardiometabolic disorder, which ultimately characterize and implement evidence-based strategies for lifestyle change, are invited. More importantly, comprehensively regulatory mechanisms of dietary nutrients in cardiometabolic diseases are particularly welcome.
