Filter by:The Cohort on Plant-based Diets (COPLANT) study is a multi-centre cohort study that starts baseline recruitment from 2024 to 2027 with approximately 6,000 participants in Germany and Austria. The COPLANT study focuses on vegan (no animal products), vegetarian (no meat and fish, but dairy products and eggs), pescetarian (no meat, but fish) and omnivorous (mixed diet including all possible animal products) diets. The aim of the COPLANT study is to gain new insights on health benefits and risks as well as social, ecological and economic effects of different plant-based diets in comparison to a mixed diet. In addition to a detailed dietary survey using an app adapted to the needs of this study, the baseline examination includes measurements of body composition, bone health, cardiovascular risk factors, diabetes risk, contaminants and lifestyle. For the basic laboratory program, fasting blood, 24-hour urine collection and a stool sample are taken from all study participants. Furthermore, specific aspects of dietary behavior, physical activity and other lifestyle factors are collected via questionnaires. Follow-up studies are planned at intervals of 5, 10 and 20 years after the baseline visit.
The goal of this observational study is to redefine an everyday clinical routine at the Humanitas Fertility center calculating the effects derived from the reduction of inappropriate and avoidable tests, procedures, tools and treatments currently used. Anonymized patients data about clinical procedures are used, taken from the internal database of the Humanitas fertility center
There is a need to change eating patterns towards healthier diets with new sources of non-animal protein, obtained through more sustainable systems in line with strategies such as the European Green Deal, the "Farm to Fork" strategy, or the Common Agricultural Policy, among others. The objective of this study, is to evaluate the nutritional effect of the developed products and their impact on the improvement and/or prevention of health problems (diabetes, intestinal dysbiosis), as well as to design and evaluation of the effect on health of a vegetable protein-based nutraceutical that also includes fiber and resistant starch.
This research is to develop a weight loss and weight maintenance program through dietary modifications for adults with obesity. Although scientific studies have shown the feasibility of rapid and safe dietary weight loss and subsequent weight maintenance, no efficacious dietary weight management program is widely available, and thus bariatric surgery remains the most reliable approach for weight loss/management. Safe and effective dietary weight loss and subsequent weight maintenance require flexible, individualized advice by an experienced dietitian/nutritionist.
The aim of this study is to investigate changes in nutrient intake, the human gut microbiota and pesticide excretion in urine when shifting from conventional food habits to sustainable food habits.
