Topic

The world is facing a global epidemic of diet-related chronic disease. Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 reported that about 11 million deaths and 255 million DALYs were attributable to dietary risk factors, in other words, one of every five deaths across the globe is attributable to suboptimal diet.

There are plenty of studies proved that interventions with nutrients can prevent, manage and even treat illness. However, factors such as individual genetics, dietary habits and eating patterns, age and physical activity result in the dynamic nutritional recommendations for both individual and population health. Therefore, precision nutrition became as the focus of future studies and has been listed as the topic in the National Institutes of Health Strategic Plan for Nutrition for 2020–2030 of USA. The special issue “Precision Nutrition and Health” welcomes submissions focusing on the latest finding about the regulation of nutrients in health and disease, as well as the biology and nutritional requirements during the whole lifespan.
