Nutritional epidemiology examines dietary or nutritional factors in relation to the occurrence of disease in various populations. It is a fact that substantial progress has been made in recent years in nutritional epidemiology. Compared to the practice during the 1990s, and with the improvements in data analytics, several new approaches are gaining ground. Results from a variety of large-scale studies in the field of nutrition epidemiology have substantially contributed toward the evidence used in guiding dietary recommendations for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, some types of cancer, and other morbidities. In this Special Issue, we would like to bring reader...
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or nearly one in six deaths. Although some individuals are at higher risk due to non-modifiable risk factors, between 30-40% of all cancer cases are estimated to be preventable through healthy lifestyles, including healthy diets. In 2018, a report from the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research promoted ten cancer prevention recommendations on diet and nutrition. But characterizing a healthy diet is not easy, since foods and nutrients are not consumed alone. Over the past decade, dietary pattern analysis has emerged as an alternative and complementary approach to ...
The average human lifespan has increased at a breath-taking rate in the last century. The major problem of gerontology and geriatrics today is to promote healthspan and happiness in the elderly population. A milestone in geriatrics was the definition of frailty as a geriatric syndrome with a defined phenotype. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of aging is of paramount importance to promote rational interventions to delay the onset of frailty and of age-associated diseases. The EU has shown that in 2020 30% of the over-65 populations in Europe are disabled. This leads to huge costs in terms of individual wellbeing as well as in social and economic burden. We have calculated that in Spain...
