Call for Papers: Dietary consultation and nutritional assessment and management in older adults with CKD

We are pleased to announce that Nutrition Journal is accepting submissions for a new thematic series on dietary consultation and nutritional assessment and management in older adults with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

Guest Edited by Professor Akihiko Kato (Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, Japan) this series will include articles that examine dietary intake in relation to disease management and the assessment of nutrition-related outcomes.

Aims and scope

Nutrition Journal publishes novel surveillance, epidemiologic, and intervention research that sheds light on i) influences (e.g., familial, environmental) on eating patterns; ii) associations between eating patterns and health, and iii) strategies to improve eating patterns among populations. The journal also welcomes manuscripts reporting on the psychometric properties (e.g., validity, reliability) and feasibility of methods (e.g., for assessing dietary intake) for human nutrition research. In addition, study protocols for controlled trials and cohort studies, with an emphasis on methods for assessing dietary exposures and outcomes as well as intervention components, will be considered.

Featured article

Advancing the evidence to improve the nutrition of populations: a refreshed vision and scope for Nutrition Journal

The editorial is co-authored by the two Editors-in-Chief to detail the changes to the journal scope and other important updates that authors should know.
