The top four causes of deaths in the U.S. are diet related and many other troublesome diseases are affected by diet, It will be important therefore to capture nutritional status, food environment, and repeated 24h (ASA24s) dietary intakes along with measures that can validate dietary measures of public policy interest including added sugar, energy, protein, sodium, iron, vitamins, dietary supplements, potassium, fruits... more »

Would like to look at dietary features and compare with incidence of hypertension, diabetes, cancer and alzheimers.

What oil (s) people use?

Whether they avoid gluten?

Whether they eat moderate red meat?

Whether they eat low-fat or fat-free foods?

Whether they eat cold breakfast cereal?

How often they eat nitrate containing meats (bacon, salami, etc.)?

Are there any proven dietary correlations with Alzheimer's?

This study will focus on a subsample of all pregnant women and follow them throughout pregnancy to obtain serial assessments and measurements, including laboratory microbiologic evaluation testing of oral, skin and vaginal specimens. Follow-up would end at delivery of the infant; serial pregnancies would be eligible to re-enroll. Assessments and measures would be used along with health outcomes to determine associations... more »

Follow a subsample of all infants and children (< 3 years of age) throughout childhood to obtain the following serial assessments: blood tests, medication history, neonatal, infant and childhood health outcomes; physical measurements and laboratory microbiologic evaluations of oral, skin and vaginal specimens. Assessments and measures would be used along with health outcomes to determine associations and develop predictive... more »

Goal: Show that a strict, and life-long adherence to a healthy life style retards the aging process, enables you to avoid many common diseases, and allows you to greatly reduce healthcare costs.

Method: Invite participants from all over the world to commit to following a healthy life style regimen throughout life.

Expected outcomes: Participates age more slowly, have fewer chronic diseases, and spend less on health... more »

The proposed study would identify microbial communities and metabolic profiles associated with stigmatized conditions such as idiopathic malodor or mental health.
Working with systemic malodor/PATM community provides unprecedented opportunities to explore biomarkers of depression, social stress, diabetes, inflammatory diseases, dental, cardiovascular, and digestive health, exposure to antibiotics, lifestyle & dietary... more »

It is important that the All of Us database includes a range of nutrition-related measures which are used to help identify malnutrition risk. Additional measures of malnutrition-related characteristics are important for malnutrition diagnosis. Validated screening tools such as the Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) could be used regularly to collect this data, as well as linked surveys to capture demographic information... more »

Obesity and poor diet are threats to population health. The food environment and related policies may be major contributors. Longitudinal measures of food purchasing, diet, and health can be linked to environmental/policy data (eg community gardens, changes in convenience store offerings, fast food moratoriums, menu labeling, food taxes/subsidies), and used to identify health effects. Results can help prioritize multilevel... more »

There is a need to understand the inter-relationships among sleep, diet, physical activity and stress on one another and health outcomes.

Administer food diaries and assess the impact of food groups/categories, such as fruits, root vegetables, green leafy vegetables, all other vegetables, low-fat dairy, full fat dairy, fish, white meat, red meat, processed meat, nuts & seeds, beans/legumes, whole grains made from flour (pasta, bread, pastries), intact whole grains (i.e., whole grain products not made from flour), refined grains, refined sugar, oils, etc.... more »

Investigate the correlation between the incidence of reported pain and various social and biological characteristics.
Investigate the correlation between the incidence of reported pain and dietary factors including foods, food additives such as dyes, preservatives and other additives.
Investigate the correlation between the incidence of reported pain and environmental exposures including pollution, pesticides and the... more »

The typical American diet, defined by high quantities of processed carbohydrates, and not high fat, has led to an obesity epidemic in the United States and well as skyrocketing diabetes. I propose to analyze the number of carbohydrate grams consumed in two test groups, the typical American diet (control) and test subjects who identify themselves as “keto” or “low carb” to confirm that a low carbohydrate diet is the key... more »

There is a lot of controversy on whether a disease can be treated based primarily on a change of diet. With this study I would test the theory with participants from various groups to determine if the condition could be improved through diet and also determine is medication is needed for improvement

Most research is devoted understanding factors which increase disease risk. Here we specifically seek to find individuals who are healthy despite exposure to high levels of environmental pollutants, e.g. living in areas with elevated air pollution, and examine the lifestyle factors which may be protective. Protective lifestyle factors may be modifiable by the individual and may represent a means to improve environmental... more »

Currently, nutrition assessment focuses on self reports, which has numerous measurement errors, including self-reported bias and recall bias. To accurately associate dietary intakes with nutritional status and chronic disease risk, objective measures of nutrient intakes are needed. Both recovery and predictive biomarkers offer promise as well as emerging technologies. Research that would leverage ALL of Us participants... more »
