CoDiet

Unhealthy diets are associated with metabolic changes and increased risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, little is known about the dietary mechanisms that actually drive NCDs, and the tools used to collect dietary information are still inaccurate. There is also a lack of data among vulnerable groups, where NCDs are often over-represented. The EU-funded CoDiet project will address the knowledge gaps and develop a tool that will assess diet-induced NCD risk. Specifically, it will develop an enhanced method of dietary assessment using AI technologies. It will also develop a diet–NCD monitoring tool that will enable change in NCDs in response to diet to be monitored at the population level. The overall goal is to promote the uptake of an NCD-protective diet at a population level.
