Nutritional status is an important factor influencing human health and the progression of diseases. With the development of precision medicine and individualized treatment, nutrition-related clinical laboratory indicators have gradually become important tools for disease risk assessment, early diagnosis, and therapeutic monitoring. Clinical nutrition not only focuses on dietary patterns and nutrient intake but also relies on objective biomarkers to reflect metabolic status, inflammation levels, and disease progression. In recent years, increasing evidence has shown that nutritional indicators are closely related to the occurrence and development of many common diseases, including obstetric and gynecological conditions, tumors, cardiovascular diseases, and other chronic disorders. However, there are still some shortcomings in the application of these indicators in disease management, such as the standardization of testing methods, determination of clinical thresholds, and their relationship with long-term prognosis. Therefore, it is of great scientific and clinical significance to explore the roles and values of nutrition-related clinical laboratory indicators in different diseases
This Research Topic aims to attract scholars from fields including nutrition, laboratory medicine, and clinical medicine, to jointly promote the application and development of nutrition-related laboratory indicators in disease prevention, control, and precision medicine. By integrating the latest research findings across different disease areas and multiple disciplines, this topic seeks to explore the prospects of applying nutritional indicators in individualized treatment, nutritional interventions, and long-term follow-up
We welcome the following types of articles: original research, systematic reviews, case studies, and methodological discussions. Specific themes include but are not limited to: • Application of nutritional laboratory indicators in obstetric and gynecological diseases (such as gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, endometriosis, etc.). • Clinical evidence on nutritional exposures and tumor occurrence and development, such as vitamin D, folate, iron, and other nutrient indicators. • The role of nutritional indicators such as blood lipids, fatty acid profiles, vitamins, and trace elements in cardiovascular disease risk assessment and management. • The value of nutrition-related laboratory indicators in metabolic or chronic diseases such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease. • Emerging nutrition-related laboratory tests in clinical laboratory medicine (such as amino acid profiling, fatty acid profiling, and metabolite detection) and their potential in disease management. • The effects of nutritional elements on gut, respiratory, and oral microbiota, and their associations with disease risk and mechanisms.
