Preventing obesity through Biologically and bEhaviorally Tailored inTERventions for you - BETTER4U

Descripción del proyecto

DE EN ES FR IT PL

Afrontar la crisis mundial del peso

En un mundo que lucha contra el aumento de la tasa de obesidad, es necesario revolucionar el control del peso desentrañando la compleja red de factores que contribuyen a la epidemia mundial de sobrepeso y obesidad. El aumento del sobrepeso y la obesidad constituye todo un problema sanitario que exige soluciones innovadoras. Teniendo esto en cuenta, en el proyecto BETTER4U, financiado con fondos europeos, se dilucidará el trasfondo poligénico del aumento de peso con tecnologías avanzadas de inteligencia artificial a través de un colaboración internacional. Entre sus ambiciosos objetivos figuran el desarrollo de una metodología de intervención personalizada, la aplicación de herramientas de supervisión en tiempo real y la realización de un ensayo clínico exhaustivo. En BETTER4U se prevé no solo comprender el problema, sino ofrecer soluciones tangibles y adaptables a escala mundial, lo que supondrá un gran paso adelante hacia un futuro más saludable.

Objetivo

BETTER4U aims at the identification and personalized management of all weight gain determinants to battle the increasingly rising numbers of overweight/obesity, via homogenous, globally adaptable and practically assessed public health initiatives and key interventions. Building on previous key projects and biobanks, the project will focus on the hitherto neglected impact of the polygenic background of weight gain on the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions for weight management in people with overweight/obesity. BETTER4U aims to probe into the global obesity challenge, study the problem and offer solutions in a tangible realistic way with the assistance of modern AI technologies and the contribution of experts around the world. BETTER4U will be realized through the following objectives: 1. To comprehensively understand and decipher genetics, metabolomics, microbiota, socio-economic, geographical, cultural and lifestyle features linked to weight gain throughout the life course, via meta-analyses (BETTER4U data from >50 studies, >1 million individuals) and extensive literature meta-review. 2.To develop the BETTER4U intervention methodology for weight gain prevention, based on a causal AI model of obesity determinants and a pilot study in 7 European countries. 3.To deploy technology-assisted, real-time monitoring tools to measure detailed behavioral indicators and their relation to the environmental context. 4.To evaluate the efficacy of the novel BETTER4U intervention methodology in a controlled, randomized clinical trial, based on individually-tailored recommendations for lifestyle change. 5.To maximize transferability and applicability of the BETTER4U intervention methodology by identifying implementation barriers and facilitators, as well as to evaluate implementation outcomes in both participants and stakeholders. 6. To develop and disseminate the BETTER4Uobesity prevention intervention methodology guidelines using a people-centred, sustainable care approach.
