Created in 2003, "Epidemiology of nutrition and eating behaviours" team is organized into three major areas of research: 1) nutrition and ageing, "historic" axis because of the close links with the "Epidemiology of ageing" team which Barberger-Gateau P. and L. Letenneur are from, 2) nutrition and eye disease appeared since the arrival of C. Delcourt in 2005, and 3) metabolic diseases, diabetes and obesity, new axis individualized when recreating in 2011. Added to a transverse axis dedicated to specific methodological aspects of nutritional epidemiology, including the development of eating behaviour patterns. Integration into the ophthalmologists, diabetologists and paediatricians CHU Bordeaux team can develop in parallel clinical research in these areas. All of this work relates to chronic diseases related to poor nutritional status, the incidence increases dramatically in developed countries but also developing countries.
Objectives:
Epidemiological study of the relationship between diet and health in the general population:
- Describe and characterize the profiles of student eating behavior in general population (cohort i-SHARE) and old (cohorts PAQUID, 3C, AMI);
- Analyze the relationship between nutritional status (food, biological or metabolic status, malnutrition) and health (neurodegenerative diseases, eye diseases, fractures, frailty) in the elderly
- Analyze the relationship between metabolic status (diabetes, obesity, accumulation of advanced glycation end products) and pregnancy outcome in women with gestational diabetes
- Assess the impact of nutritional supplementation on the health of elderly
- Assess the impact of complex interventions for the prevention and management of obesity in children, malnutrition in the elderly.
