What this trial studies

This observational project, Part'AGE, aims to explore the relationship between dietary habits and health outcomes in individuals aged 55 to 75 living in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Researchers will recruit 1,000 participants to assess their eating behaviors, physical activity, and overall health. Participants will be classified into different dietary typologies based on their nutritional intake and health status, allowing for personalized dietary recommendations. The study involves surveys and self-sampling to gather comprehensive data on participants' health and nutrition.
