Chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers are known as a substantive worldwide challenge for health systems and are major contributors to mortality and morbidity. According to the World Health Organization, 71% of all deaths and 63.8 % of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) are attributed to chronic diseases. The composition of a diet influences health status and affects the occurrence and severity of chronic diseases. As different components of a diet correlate and interact with one another, addressing only individual dietary constituents does not usually help in analyzing the extent to which diets may prevent or contribute to the development or progress of ...
As the population grows older, strategies that can promote healthy aging and offset the development of age-related neurodegenerative diseases are becoming increasingly relevant. Consuming a balanced, nutritious diet is important for maintaining health, especially as individuals age. The brain has a high demand for nutrients and nutritional imbalances dampen the structural and functional integrity of the brain critically impacting our cognitive capacities. Indeed, several lines of evidence suggest that nutritional strategies can reduce the risk of age-related neurodegenerative diseases and exhibit potential beneficial effects in delaying the onset of brain diseases and slowing down the progre...
Polyphenols are a heterogeneous group of bioactive compounds mainly found in plant-based foods. Numerous clinical and epidemiological studies have led to the result that polyphenol intake may protect against chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, or type 2 diabetes, to name some. Polyphenol intake estimation can be obtained through food frequency questionnaires and nutritional biomarkers, both having their own advantages and disadvantages. Although the association between these bioactive compounds and health seems irrefutable, many questions remain still unanswered. For instance, more studies are needed to identify possible interactions and effect-modulating variables, such as smoking habit, body mass index, sex, alcohol, hormones, other foods, etc. Moreover, intestinal microbiota seems to play an important role in the metabolism of polyphenols, but it is still unclear how.
Data on nutritional status of human populations are periodically needed, as well as their relationships with anthropometry, body composition, body image and energy expenditure, and also with health lifestyle outcomes. All these parameters contribute jointly to give a complete knowledge on dietary and lifestyle habits, and hence how to proceed to improve it in order to enjoy an optimal healthy status. So, you are kindly invited to submit proposals for manuscripts that fit the objectives and the topics of this Nutrients Special issue.The aim of this proposed Nutrients Special Issue on "Anthropometry, Body Composition and Resting Energy Expenditure in Humans" is to publish selected papers detailing specific aspects of anthropometric, body composition and energy expenditure data in human populations and their relationships with nutritional status, as well as nutritional surveys and trials that examine measured differences or changes in these parameters are also cordially invited.

Obra multiautorial, escrita por más de 90 especialistas de España. Este libro además de revisar ampliamente la obesidad, la diabetes, lípidos y tensión arterial, hace hincapié en las patologías que frecuentemente pueden llevar diferentes grados de desnutrición (patología digestiva, neurológica, oncológica, quirúrgica, infecciosa, traumatológica, etc.). Sin olvidar las peculiaridades de la nutrición en las diversas etapas de la vida y las nuevas tecnologías disponibles para nutrir al paciente de manera artificial en situaciones límite (vías de acceso, formulaciones, etc.). Este último aspecto ha producido el desarrollo de problemas éticos e incluso legales que se desarrolla...
