Pilot Studies "Nutritional Epidemiology” and “Epidemiology of chronic diseases”, implemented within NFDI4Health (National research data infrastructure on personal health data)
Project
Project code: MRI-PBE-08-2022-53 n.a.
Contract period: 01.10.2022
- 31.12.2023
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
Keywords: epidemiological studies, metabolomics, pooled analysis, nutritional data
Pilot study 5.1.1: Systematic investigation of methodological limitations in the derivation of dietary patterns numerous exploratorily derived dietary patterns in last decades • no comprehensive investigation of methodological constraints, e.g.: • influence of different energy adjustment techniques • different levels of granularity for dietary data • no systematic investigation of simplified dietary patterns, e.g.: • different cut-offs for factor loadings on pattern composition Pilot study 5.1.2: Association of dietary sugar intake and body composition [among participants with genetic predisposition for a high sugar intake] • Association of added or free sugar intakes with development of overweight discussed for many years • European Food Safety Authority (EFSA): update on their "Tolerable upper intake level for dietary sugars“ -> not possible to set a recommendation due to major research gaps • Pooled analyses examining the impact of sugar intake on the development of obesity and non-communicable diseases are desired • Study on sugar intake (e.g. total, added and free sugars) + its main sources (e.g. SSB, juices, sweets) of children, adolescents and adults in Germany and its association with overweight • Biomarker data (e.g. urinary sugar excretion) and genetic factors (e.g. genetic preference for sweet foods) considered, if available
