- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Continuing the Food & You study already implemented in Switzerland as a pilot study in Germany and replicating the results of Zeevi et al. with a digital cohort and citizen science methodology.<br><br>a. Determine the interpersonal variability of postprandial blood glucose response and examine the effects of the following influencing factors: diet, anthropometric data, lifestyle, physical activity, sleep, and microbiome composition.<br>b. Comparison of a German cohort with existing Swiss cohorts.<br>c. Assist in the development of a new algorithm to predict PPGR using data readily available (i.e., low user effort and affordable) via such a digital cohort.<br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Testing the MyFoodRepo mobile application on a German cohort.<br>a. Adaptation of the MyFoodRepo app for German consumers with integration of the BLS database (Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel).<br>b. Determine food consumption and nutritional status of the digital cohort to improve understanding of dietary habits in Germany.<br>c. Evaluate the suitability of the app to track individual food intake at a scalable scale, over longer periods of time, and with sufficient accuracy.
