Over one million participants will take part in this groundbreaking study
Through an extensive meta-analysis involving over one million participants across North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania, the INC-funded NUTPOOL study aims to evaluate the association between total and specific types of nut consumption and the prevention of non-communicable diseases, namely type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases (dementia and Alzheimer’s disease) and mortality. This groundbreaking research will undoubtedly represent a turning point in nutritional epidemiology in relation to nuts and health.
NUTPOOL is progressing according to plan. The study is currently in the preliminary stage of obtaining data for analyses, with a total of 26 cohorts having answered an initial survey and showed interest in taking part in the study. The NUTPOOL team is currently in the process of finalizing the study’s standardized data protocol and is preparing to develop the standardized analytical code that will be shared with the different cohorts. The NUTPOOL team has also launched a dedicated website featuring further information about the rationale and aims of the study, the members of the research team, and much more.
