What this trial studies
This project investigates the relationship between nutrition and healthy lifespan through a 10-year longitudinal study in Zhejiang Province. It will involve a diverse cohort of individuals aged 6 and older, collecting demographic, dietary, lifestyle, and health data, along with bio-samples. The study aims to provide insights into how nutrition impacts healthy aging and longevity, ultimately contributing to evidence-based nutrition interventions that can enhance quality of life.

Not a fit: Patients living in functional zones such as dormitories, military barracks, schools, or nursing homes may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved nutrition strategies that enhance health outcomes and quality of life for individuals across various age groups.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in exploring the relationship between nutrition and health outcomes, making this approach promising yet still requiring further investigation.
