Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults in Louisiana who are part of the All of Us program and meet eligibility criteria for the dietary modules.
✕Less likely to help
People who are not eligible for the dietary modules or who cannot commit to the study schedule may not benefit.
What this research studies
This center will enroll participants from Louisiana into the All of Us Nutrition for Precision Health program, including a 10-day observational phase and subsequent randomized diet interventions. The study aims to build a rich health and diet database from a diverse group of adults to inform personalized nutrition in the future. If you join, you may complete surveys, provide health information, and participate in meal plans and feeding studies under close supervision.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could lead to personalized dietary recommendations that better support cardiometabolic health for you.
How similar studies have gone: Similar large nutritionally focused programs have shown how diet can influence health markers, though this is a novel, multi-module approach within All of Us.
