- Brief Summary
This project aims to explore the relationship between healthy lifespan and nutrition through a 10-year longitudinal study in Zhejiang Province. The cohort will include individuals in a wide range of age groups. The demographic, diet, lifestyle information, health status, and corresponding bio-samples will be collected carefully. It will give a deeper insight to the relation between nutrition and healthy aging and longevity. Ultimately, this research will contribute to evidence-based nutrition interventions to improve health outcomes and enhance quality of life.
- Detailed Description
This project aims to elucidate the relationship between healthy lifespan and nutrition through the establishment of a large-scale cohort of participants and longitudinal follow-ups spanning around 10 years in Zhejiang Province. The cohort will comprise individuals in a wide range of age groups starting at 6 years old. The participants will provide demographic information, anthropometry measurements, detailed diet, lifestyle data and health status, including 3-day dietary records and long-term food intake frequency recalls. Integrated with previous information, diverse bio-samples will also be collected to establish a multi-dimensional biobank. It will give a deeper insight to the relation between nutrition and healthy aging and longevity. Ultimately, this research will contribute to the development of evidence-based nutrition designed to improve health outcomes and enhance the quality of life for individuals of all ages.
