Review proposes tailoring nutrition advice to individual needs
A review published in the journal Nutrients says people can respond differently to the same diet because of differences in biology, health and lifestyle.
The review looks at needs across life stages, from pregnancy to older age, and discusses cardiovascular, respiratory, blood and sleep health.
It argues that standard diet advice may not suit everyone as nutritional needs and disease risks change with age and health.
Researchers propose using measures such as blood tests, wearable data and, potentially, artificial intelligence to help shape more personalized nutrition advice.
They say recommendations should also reflect people’s habits, income, culture and access to food so they can work in everyday life.
The review suggests tailored approaches could improve disease prevention, but their benefits still need further study.
Researchers say more evidence is needed before these strategies can be widely used in clinical care.
A review proposes seven research pillars for tailoring nutrition advice to individual needs across the lifespan.
The researchers say biological, health and lifestyle differences can affect how people respond to the same diet.
Precision nutrition could use information such as genetic, metabolic and wearable-sensor data to guide personalized recommendations.
The review says tailored interventions should also account for social, environmental and behavioral factors and be practical and accessible.
The researchers note that long-term outcomes and genotype-specific dosing for some pregnancy-related nutrition strategies remain uncertain.
