About
The aims of the nutrition workstream are to understand the role of nutrition in healthy ageing, to design and develop nutrition interventions that tackle diseases associated with ageing and multi-morbidity, and to use novel approaches and technology to support healthy lifestyle choices. There is overlap between the workstream and the activities of ‘Behaviour and Health’ and ‘Public Health’.
The workstream welcomes new members with an interest in nutrition and collaboration with other research groups, institutions and industry.
Interests of the workstream members include:
- Diabetes and dietary approaches for the modulating of blood glucose
- Frailty and sarcopenia and the contribution of diet
- Sustainable approaches to improving nutritional status
- Use of technology to improve dietary intake
- Prevention and treatment of malnutrition in vulnerable groups
- Diet in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
