Abstrakt

Individual health promotion becomes more important considering the rapidly growing older population. Identification of individual risk factors like genetic diversity of populations, differences in food availability and intake, as well as nutritional behavior and lifestyles poses big challenges for personal nutrition. Various studies have observed that the risk of many diseases is not just determined by risk factors in mid-adult life, but begins during fetal development, in childhood, and adolescence. Food diversity shows evidence of being most important for individual health.
