About this Research Topic
This research topic aims to provide comprehensive epidemiological evidence and mechanistic insights into the metabolism of micronutrients and their impacts on human health outcomes. By doing so, the research seeks to contribute to the development of healthier dietary patterns that can prevent or mitigate metabolic diseases. The research will focus on identifying the relationships between micronutrients and metabolic diseases, assessing the long-term impacts of imbalanced micronutrient intake, and dissecting the mechanisms of micronutrient metabolism.
To gather further insights into the complex interactions between micronutrients and metabolic diseases, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Observational studies, interventional studies, and systematic reviews on micronutrient intake and its association with risk factors or incidence of metabolic diseases.
- Functional studies providing mechanistic insights into micronutrient metabolism with relevance to human health.
- Review articles on the role of micronutrients in metabolic diseases.
- Studies focusing on the health impact of combinations of multiple vitamins, minerals, or phytochemicals.
- Investigations into the long-term effects of micronutrient imbalances on metabolic health.
Keywords: micronutrient, trace element, metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes
