The aim of this Special Issue titled “Effects of Diet and Nutrition on Aging” is to provide an overview on the connection between nutrition and aging, update knowledge on the mechanisms that are responsible for aging, and report on nutritional strategies that can be implemented to overcome age-related diseases.  

The fact that aging is a multifaceted phenomenon that results from one or more failures at the molecular, cellular, physiologic, and functional levels, makes age-related diseases challenging therapeutic targets. Research based on the use of experimental models represents an important resource to study the molecular mechanisms underlying aging, helping in the search for potential targets. The use of these experimental models provides the opportunity to understand the mechanisms of action of micronutrients and to search for dietary regimens or molecules that can ameliorate the signs of aging or that can postpone aging. 

Overall, the collection touches themes such as dietary diversity, calorie restriction regimens, antiaging agents, social issues, and strategies to promote healthy aging.

Keywords: anti-aging nutrients, healthy aging, personalized nutrition, calorie restriction, etc.

Research articles, Review articles as well as Therapeutic Brief are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
