Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrition is an important lifestyle factor that can reduce the risk of future cognitive impairment and various neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias. Dietary interventions may be a useful approach to slow down cognitive decline or cognitive impairment across the spectrum for AD and other dementias. To date, in older adults, certain nutrients like folate, vitamin E, and Ω-3 fatty acids and food groups like seafood, vegetables, and fruits have shown promising associations with cognitive outcomes or results in randomized clinical trials.
This Special Issue, "Dietary Factors and Interventions for Neurodegenerative Diseases", focuses on how diet or nutritional components are related to cognitive decline, cognitive impairment, and the risk or age of onset of dementia. Basic, translational, and/or clinical research is welcome. We will consider different types of manuscript submissions, including original research articles and up-to-date reviews (systematic reviews and meta-analyses).
Dr. Auriel Willette
