We tested the hypothesis that providing personalized nutrition (PN) advice based on information on individual diet and lifestyle,
phenotype and/or genotype would promote larger, more appropriate, and sustained changes in dietary behaviour.
Methods: Adults from seven European countries were recruited to an internet-delivered intervention (Food4Me) and randomized to: (i) conventional dietary advice (control) or to PN advice based on: (ii) individual baseline diet; (iii) individual baseline diet plus
phenotype (anthropometry and blood biomarkers); or (iv) individual baseline diet plus phenotype plus genotype (five diet-responsive genetic variants). Outcomes were
dietary intake, anthropometry and blood biomarkers measured at baseline and after 3 and 6 months’ intervention.
Results: At baseline, mean age of participants was 39.8 years (range 18–79), 59% of participants were female and mean body mass index (BMI) was 25.5 kg/m2. From the
enrolled participants, 1269 completed the study. Following a 6-month intervention, participants randomized to PN consumed less red meat [-5.48 g, (95% confidence interval:-
10.8,-0.09), P=0.046], salt [-0.65 g, (-1.1,-0.25), P=0.002] and saturated fat [-1.14 % of energy, (-1.6,-0.67), P<0.0001], increased folate [29.6 mg, (0.21,59.0), P=0.048] intake and had higher Healthy Eating Index scores [1.27, (0.30, 2.25), P=0.010) than those randomized to the control arm. There was no evidence that including phenotypic and phenotypic plus genotypic information enhanced the effectiveness of the PN advice.
Conclusions: Among European adults, PN advice via internet-delivered intervention produced larger and more appropriate changes in dietary behaviour than a conventional approach.
