Dietary Strategies to Reverse the NAFLD Epidemic
This special issue investigates evidence-based nutritional approaches that prevent, manage, or reverse non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) across diverse populations. We seek mechanistic studies, clinical interventions, and real-world program evaluations that unlock scalable solutions.
Topics of Interest
- Clinical nutrition trials assessing diet composition, timing, or supplementation for NAFLD management.
- Community-based or digital health interventions improving adherence to liver-friendly diets.
- Omics-driven insights that link dietary patterns to hepatic fat metabolism and inflammation.
- Health economics or implementation research evaluating scalable prevention strategies.
- Case studies profiling successful multidisciplinary care pathways.
Editorial Perspective
“Our goal is to bring together translational evidence that empowers clinicians and public health leaders to interrupt the NAFLD trajectory. We encourage submissions that integrate nutritional biochemistry with culturally sensitive behavior change strategies.”
