Understanding human food intake behavior and related health risks is critical for important societal goals such as preventing or managing many chronic conditions, promoting well-being and safety, and improving life-long health learning. Harnessing a number of harmonized dietary data from highly-comparable local and national trials, our innovative Intelligent Diet Quality Pattern Analysis (iPAT) tool will provide a more robust identification and visualization of diet-quality patterns and clarify our understanding of diet-disease relationships for a range of people over time and across geographic regions. Our work will help grow more valid evidence for formulating dietary guidelines and may enable better personalized, adaptive dietary strategies.
Harmonized Local and National Longitudinal RCT and OS data
Newly harmonized data are generated from seven highly-comparable longitudinal studies that span up to 35 years and cross 50 clinical and health community centers funded by NIDDK, NHLBI, and NIMH:
