 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The present proposal sees the development of business and value creation models as central to the development of personalised nutrition and thus it is intended to engage in a series of interviews with key stakeholders, which will generate a number of scenarios to be considered by these stakeholders. Parallel to that we will run some focus groups with consumers and develop a tool to ascertain consumer attitudes to personalised nutrition in 8 EU countries (1,000 per country) representing a breadth of gastronomic traditions. Within these 8 countries, we will recruit 1,280 subjects and offer 3 levels of personalised nutrition: 1 Personalised dietary advice alone; 2: personalised dietary advice based on biochemical phenotypic data; 3: the latter to include genomic data. These will be compared with a control group, which will be offered non-personalised dietary advice. All of the data on dietary intake and all of the advice will be Internet delivered and will last 6 months. Within each of the 3 levels of personalised nutrition groups, half will receive their feedback at months 0, 3 and 6 while the other half will have continuous feedback on demand with intensive coaching. The overall outcome measurement will be changes in a healthy eating index. The data gathered in this study will feed into the development of algorithms to provide automated feedback for future services delivering personalised advice on food choice. We will bring together an international group of experts to develop best practice in the application of all aspects of nutrigenomic research to personalised nutrition. We will also scope out existing and future technologies, particularly those involving biofeedback, which will help the development of personalised nutrition. Finally we develop position papers on the ethical and legal aspects of personalised nutrition. Permeating all of this work will be a wide-ranging communications programme aimed at all stakeholders of relevance to personalised nutrition.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Nutrigenomics examines the relationship between food and gene expression. The ability to plan diet recommendations based on an individual's genetic profile is an exciting concept.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

In an effort to improve public health across the population, the EU-funded project 'Personalised nutrition: An integrated analysis of opportunities and challenges' (http://www.food4me.org (FOOD4ME)) is investigating personalised nutrition as a means for improving health. Following the sequencing of the human genome in 2000, the strategy tailors dietary advice specifically to an individual's characteristics, thereby optimising health and lowering disease risk.

FOOD4ME extends state-of-the-art research into personalised nutrition tying in business, science and technology, and consumer perspectives. It explores the opportunities and challenges of establishing strong business models for the delivery of personalised nutrition at all stages. A good model must include collaboration with the food industry, the media, health insurers, patient groups, retailers, regulatory authorities, medical professionals and scientists.

The ongoing research study involves a large cohort of volunteers in seven EU Member States. All involved are working together, developing best practice guidelines for communicating to consumers about personalised nutrition. The project involves members from academia, industry, and small and medium-sized enterprises with various backgrounds.

To date, the project has produced two scientific papers and a short booklet and organised a series of workshops. Phase two final project reports will be disseminated in March 2015 .

The proof-of-principle study, which tests the effectiveness of different levels of personalised nutrition advice, has been completed and houses data on over 1 300 individuals. This part of the project involved the delivery of personalised dietary advice based on an individual's nutrient intake, their blood biochemistry and their genetics. Data analysis will assess the effectiveness of providing basic versus more detailed feedback.

Partners involved in ethics and legal work have published four papers on the topic of genes and nutrition. In addition, a report has been prepared proposing legislative reform needed to develop the current EU legislative framework on the topic of personalised nutrition.

During the second period, the project engaged with the media, and produced a project leaflet, podcasts and newsletter articles. Also, a project symposium was organised at the International Congress of Nutrition in Granada, Spain. All updates and news from the project have been published on the FOOD4ME website.
