ANNALS OF NUTRITION AND METABOLISM

New evidence from many branches of medicine constantly demonstrates the importance of nutrition on various disease processes. While considerable progress has already been made towards the prevention of disorders like hypertension and coronary heart disease, the search for reliable dietary guidelines continues. The editors of this journal show their dedication to this search by carefully selecting basic and clinical reports offering new information relating to human nutrition and metabolic diseases including their molecular genetics. Papers present original findings dealing with problems such as the consequences of specific diets and dietary supplements, nutritional factors in the etiology of metabolic and gastrointestinal disorders, and the epidemiological association between dietary habits and disease incidence.

来自许多医学分支的新证据不断证明营养对各种疾病过程的重要性。虽然在预防高血压和冠心病等疾病方面已经取得了相当大的进展，但对可靠膳食指南的研究仍在继续。该杂志的编辑通过仔细选择提供有关人类营养和代谢疾病的新信息的基础和临床报告，包括它们的分子遗传学，显示了他们对这项研究的奉献精神。论文提出了关于一些问题的原始发现，如特定饮食和膳食补充剂的后果、代谢和胃肠疾病病因中的营养因素、饮食习惯与疾病发病率之间的流行病学联系。
