Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This project aims to explore the relationship between healthy lifespan and nutrition through a 10-year longitudinal study in Zhejiang Province. The cohort will include individuals in a wide range of age groups. The demographic, diet, lifestyle information, health status, and corresponding bio-samples will be collected carefully. It will give a deeper insight to the relation between nutrition and healthy aging and longevity. Ultimately, this research will contribute to evidence-based nutrition interventions to improve health outcomes and enhance quality of life.

Detailed Description

This project aims to elucidate the relationship between healthy lifespan and nutrition through the establishment of a large-scale cohort of participants and longitudinal follow-ups spanning around 10 years in Zhejiang Province. The cohort will comprise individuals in a wide range of age groups starting at 6 years old. The participants will provide demographic information, anthropometry measurements, detailed diet, lifestyle data and health status, including 3-day dietary records and long-term food intake frequency recalls. Integrated with previous information, diverse bio-samples will also be collected to establish a multi-dimensional biobank. It will give a deeper insight to the relation between nutrition and healthy aging and longevity. Ultimately, this research will contribute to the development of evidence-based nutrition designed to improve health outcomes and enhance the quality of life for individuals of all ages.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Occurrence of cardio-metabolic diseases [up to 10 years]

   The investigators will track for occurrence of cardio-metabolic diseases by follow-up surveys collected by the Zhejiang Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. Changes in fasting blood glucose [Every other year， up to 10 years]

   Fasting glucose will be examined in mmol/L.

2. Changes in fasting blood HbA1c [Every other year， up to 10 years]

   Fasting blood HbA1c will be examined in %

3. Changes in fasting lipid metabolism [Every other year， up to 10 years]

   Triglyceride, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol will be examined in mmol/L.

4. Changes in fasting blood highly sensitive C-reactive protein (CRP) [Every other year， up to 10 years]

   CRP will be examined in mg/L.

5. Changes in body mass index [Every other year， up to 10 years]

   Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated in kg/m^2

6. Changes in blood pressure [Every other year， up to 10 years]

   Blood pressure, including systolic and diastolic blood pressure, will be measured in mmHg

7. Changes in gut microbiome profiling [Every other year， up to 10 years]

   16S rRNA and/or shotgun metagenomic sequencing will be performed in stool samples.
