The Role of Diet in Osteoporosis—Prevention and Management

Dear Colleagues,

I am honored to introduce you to a Special Issue dedicated to the pressing issue of osteoporosis. This chronic ailment warrants sustained attention and management, especially given its escalating global prevalence. The gravity of osteoporotic fractures further highlights the importance of maintaining long-term vigilance towards this disease.

Recent advances in osteoporosis treatment have been promising, leading to enhanced patient outcomes. Nevertheless, the role of a healthful lifestyle, in parallel with medication, remains paramount in both osteoporosis prevention and treatment. Specifically, an appropriate dietary regimen not only has the potential to stave off osteoporosis, but could also augment treatment efficacy and play an instrumental role in bone metabolism. Given this fact, numerous studies are currently investigating the dietary means of enabling osteoporosis prevention and treatment.

The scope of this Special Issue is 'The Role of Diet in Osteoporosis - Prevention and Management'. We invite researchers to submit publications discussing the diverse ways that diet can aid in osteoporosis prevention and management, with an emphasis on treating diet as a primary source of bone metabolism-essential minerals, such as calcium and vitamins. We are eager to entertain a breadth of diet-centric studies relevant to bone metabolism. Our objective is to facilitate a comprehensive exchange in the most recent insights into the nexus between diet and bone metabolism, drawing on evidence included in both review articles and original research papers.
