Dear Partners,

Prof. Tomasz Kostka, from Medical University of Lodz and guest editor of the “Optimising
Nutrition to Alleviate Age-Associated Functional Decline
(ISSN 2072-6643, IF 4.171) (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nutrients/special_issues/Optimising_Nutrition_to_Alleviate_Age-Associated_Functional_Decline)
is inviting you to join him in contributing to the success of this special issue.

Nutrition and physical activity are cornerstones of preventive gerontology. Nutritional status changes with advancing age. In younger seniors, typical problems usually include overweight/obesity, hyperlipidemia and
hyperglicemia. Prevention and treatment are focused on cardiometabolic disorders. In older seniors, problems of protein–energy malnutrition, sarcopenia and frailty become dominant. Research in recent years has provided us with new data and scientific approaches
on how to drive nutritional behaviors to prevent cardiometabolic disorders on the one hand, and to foster the intrinsic capacity to alleviate age-associated functional decline on the other. With this Special Issue of
Nutrients, we hope to gather new data on nutritional recommendations in seniors of different ages, functional statuses and comorbidities. We welcome the submission of different types of manuscripts, including original research articles and up-to-date
reviews (systematic reviews and meta-analyses).

Based on your expertise in this field, we think you could make an excellent contribution of either evidence-based original research or a review of the scientific literature.

The submission deadline is 31 January 2021. You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication
elsewhere. Their acceptance will be subject to our regular peer review processes. To check suitability, we encourage authors to send a short abstract or tentative title in advance to the Editorial Office ([email-masked]).

Nutrients is fully open access. Open access (unlimited and free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations, as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors and
their institutes. The Article Processing Charges (APC) for accepted papers are CHF 2000.

For further details on the submission process, please see the instructions for authors at the journal website (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/nutrients/instructions).

We look forward to hearing from you.
