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.
