Nutrition and Cardiometabolic Health

The Nutrition and Cardiometabolic Health special collection aims to advance our understanding of how dietary patterns, macronutrient composition, micronutrient intake, and dietary supplements influence cardiometabolic risk factors. We welcome submissions that delve into various aspects of the relationship between nutrition and cardiometabolic health, including dietary patterns, macronutrient composition, micronutrient intake, and dietary supplements, with a focus on their impact on cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and related conditions.

Study Objective
To evaluate the Mediterranean Diet (MD) for its role in preventing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and reducing mortality, both in the general population and in individuals with prior cardiovascular conditions, considering gender-specific effects.
