PlantIntake
is a collaborative project that is funded within the
JPI HDHL ERA-Net HDHL-INTIMIC.
What is it all about?
Diets predominantly consisting of plant-based foods are associated with lower risk for non-communicable diseases. However, emerging data indicate that unhealthful plant-based diets are related with raised disease risk.
Accurate information on food intake is necessary to investigate diet-health associations. However, traditional assessment methods based on self-reported data are prone to measurement error and bias, and specifically for plant-based foods.
The main objective
Therefore, the main objective of PlantIntake is to improve the dietary assessment of plant-based foods by establishing multi-biomarker panels and by combining self-reported intake data with biomarker data from blood and urine.
Next Events
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the ERA-NET Cofund action N° 727565.
