Cardiometabolic Health in Relation to Diet and Physical Activity

<p>The purpose of this Special Issue The Role of Nutrition in Cardiometabolic Health: Experimental Clinical and Community-Based Evidence is to publish a focused coherent impactful and well-cited volume on how nutrition influences diverse cardiometabolic risk factors. Cardiometabolic diseases such as coronary heart disease stroke type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity are the leading causes of death worldwide. In recent years dietary habits have shifted all over the globe. At the same time a constantly growing body of evidence demonstrates the role of caloric intake and dietary composition as determinants of cardiometabolic health. A suboptimal diet predisposes to a myriad of cardiometabolic risk factors such as impaired glucose metabolism insulin resistance dyslipidemia and high blood pressure. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide rigorous evidence from novel experimental and observational studies that support the association between dietary factors and cardiometabolic risk and evaluate the diverse diet-related risk pathways.</p>
