“…This is similar to other studies (17)(18)(19)(20)(21). The drop down menu is a limitation in this study because the goal options for physical activity far exceeded the recommendations whereas goal options for fruit and vegetable intake provided a maximum that was equal to recommendations.…”

“…A similar study with a web-based intervention showed significant increases in both fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity (17). The study, conducted by Sternfeld et al, used pre-set goals, which participants chose 1 to 2 of to work on per week.…”

“…Studies by Sternfeld et al, Dishman et al, and Heneman et al used goal setting as one component of an intervention and found significant increases in fruit and vegetable consumption and/or physical activity level (17)(18)(19). On the other hand, studies by Thorndike et al and Latif et al did not find goal setting to be an effective intervention (20)(21).…”

“…In an intervention which targeted both changes in physical activity and dietary intakes, the investigators reported that a tailored programme resulted in more significant lifestyle changes including increases in physical activity levels, decreases in fat and increases in fruit and vegetables intake (26) . Mouttapa et al (29) reported similar results in women with respect to increases in dairy intake and decreases in weight.…”

Can metabotyping help deliver the promise of personalised nutrition?

Over a decade since the completion of the human genome sequence, the promise of personalised nutrition available to all has yet to become a reality. While the definition was originally very gene-focused, in recent years, a model of personalised nutrition has emerged with the incorporation of dietary, phenotypic and genotypic information at various levels. Developing on from the idea of personalised nutrition, the concept of targeted nutrition has evolved which refers to the delivery of tailored dietary advice at a group level rather than at an individual level. Central to this concept is metabotyping or metabolic phenotyping, which is the ability to group similar individuals together based on their metabolic or phenotypic profiles. Applications of the metabotyping concept extend from the nutrition to the medical literature. While there are many examples of the metabotype approach, there is a dearth in the literature with regard to the development of tailored interventions for groups of individuals. This review will first explore the effectiveness of personalised nutrition in motivating behaviour change and secondly, examine potential novel ways for the delivery of personalised advice at a population level through a metabotyping approach. Based on recent findings from our work, we will demonstrate a novel strategy for the delivery of tailored dietary advice at a group level using this concept. In general, there is a strong emerging evidence to support the effectiveness of personalised nutrition; future work should ascertain if targeted nutrition can motivate behaviour change in a similar manner.
