The National Institutes of Health’s study Nutrition for Precision Health, powered by the All of Us Research Program, was highlighted on CBS Sunday Morning as a key driver of innovation in nutrition research. The study, led by the NIH’s Common Fund, All of Us Research Program, and Office of Nutrition Research, is the largest precision nutrition research effort of its kind. It aims to enroll 8,000 or more participants from diverse backgrounds.
Poor diet is one of the leading causes of preventable disease and death around the world. The study looks to better understand how our bodies respond differently to food and different ways of eating.
The news segment followed the experience of an All of Us participant as she takes part in the groundbreaking nutrition study, eating provided meals and sharing data and samples for analysis. The episode also highlights the novel methods and technology the study team is using to examine different factors that influence nutrition and health, including tests measuring participants’ resting metabolic rate, use of sensors to record food intake in addition to food diaries and an innovative microbiome collection device.
All of Us advances discoveries to better prevent, diagnose, and treat all diseases and conditions to improve health for all. Through partnered research studies, like Nutrition for Precision Health, All of Us collaborates with Institutes and Centers across NIH, to provide new opportunities for participants and researchers to drive research forward.
