ClinConnect Summary

The PREDICT 3 study is looking to understand how different people react to various foods in order to give personalized dietary advice. It builds on previous research involving over 2,000 individuals and aims to create better predictions about how our bodies respond to meals, especially after eating. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in a controlled meal study and also track their real-life eating habits over time. This research is unique because it uses data collected from a commercial program, allowing for a larger group of participants who are already gathering useful health information through digital tools.

To join the study, participants need to be at least 18 years old, living in the continental U.S. (except New York) or the UK, and enrolled in the ZOE testing program. They should also have a body mass index (BMI) of 16.5 or higher and be under care for chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, while ensuring it's safe for them to participate. Those who join can expect to provide dietary records and participate in meal tests, helping researchers learn more about how diet affects health. It's important to note that certain individuals, like pregnant women or those who recently experienced serious health events, will not be eligible for this study.
