Special Issue on

Nutritional Science and Obesity Prevention

Nutritional Science and Obesity Prevention focuses on understanding the relationship between diet, metabolism, and overall health to develop strategies for preventing obesity and related diseases. This field examines the impact of macronutrients, micronutrients, and dietary patterns on body weight regulation, metabolic function, and chronic disease risk. Researchers explore factors such as caloric intake, physical activity, gut microbiota, and genetic predisposition to obesity. Public health initiatives, behavioral interventions, and policy measures play a crucial role in promoting healthy eating habits and preventing obesity at individual and societal levels. By integrating scientific research with practical solutions, this discipline aims to improve nutrition and reduce the global burden of obesity.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Nutritional Science and Obesity Prevention. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Nutrient metabolism
• Dietary guidelines
• Energy balance
• Macronutrients and micronutrients
• Obesity risk factors
• Caloric intake regulation
• Gut microbiome and metabolism
• Insulin resistance
• Metabolic syndrome
• Childhood obesity prevention
• Food environment
• Ultra-processed foods
• Portion control
• Behavioral nutrition
• Physical activity and weight management
• Nutrigenomics
• Sugar-sweetened beverages
• Sustainable diets
• Public health interventions
• Digital health and nutrition

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Nutritional Science and Obesity Prevention” should be selected during your submission.
