Consequently, they facilitate swift prototyping, tailored fabrication, and efficient manufacturing, yielding cost reductions and heightened productivity. By stimulat...

Call for Papers: Special Issue on Precision Nutrition and Health

Paper Submission open date: 30 June 2023 Deadline for Paper Submission: 31 January 2024   Engineering  is an international peer-reviewed academic journal sponsored by Chinese Academy of Engineering. The journal is published on a monthly basis in English. Online versions are available through: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/engineering/ .   Topic   The world is facing a global epidemic of diet-related chronic disease. Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 reported that about 11 million deaths and 255 million DALYs were attributable to dietary risk factors, in other words, one of every five deaths across the globe is attributable to suboptimal diet.   There are plenty of studies proved that interventions with nutrients can prevent, manage and even treat illness. However, factors such as individual genetics, dietary habits and eating patterns, age and physical activity result in the dynamic nutritional recommendations for both individual and population health.
