Diet is incredibly important in shaping human health. Evaluating and implementing precision nutrition requires a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s dietary intake as well as their specific microbiome, and metabolome. Nutrition for Precision Health (NPH) powered by the All of Us Research Program is the first study of its kind to examine individual differences in response to diets by studying the interactions between diet, genes, proteins, microbiome, metabolism and other environmental and contextual factors. The presentations in this session will cover: the evaluation of traditional and novel technology assisted dietary assessment tools for accuracy and for acceptability, and to improve our understanding of the best methods for obtaining accurate dietary data; Microbiome Wide Association Studies (MWAS) combined with novel quantitative multi-omic approaches that are enabling us to use AI techniques to determine personalized responses to nutrition; metabolomics data capture and analyses approaches, and studies designed to reveal biomarkers and mechanisms of dietary intake, lifestyle exposures, and states of health and wellness.
