Development of a multicentre clinical study and application of omics technologies<\/strong> to elucidate the link between the Mediterranean Diet (MD), the gut microbiota and beneficial health effects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The MED4Youth<\/strong> project has the aim to strengthen the link between the MD and the health benefits against youth obesity<\/strong> and associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors<\/strong>. The project has also the objective to elucidate whether the health effects of MD are associated with changes in gut microbiota and gut-derived metabolites.<\/p>\n

The clinical study developed uses ICT tools targeting 240 adolescents with obesity from three Mediterranean countries (Spain, Portugal and Italy).<\/p>\n

The project consortium, which counts with the participation of Eurecat through its Nutrition and Health Unit<\/a> and its Omic Sciences Unit<\/a>, is formed by the University of Parma<\/a> (Italy), the University of Coimbra<\/a> (Portugal), Shikma Field Crops (Israel), the Scientific Food Centre<\/a> (Jordan) and NOVAPAN<\/a> (Spain).<\/p>\n
