Collection and Analyses of Physiological, Physical, and Molecular Data From a Diverse Population
brief summary
The purpose of the study is to collect and analyze physiological, physical, and molecular data from a diverse population to increase our understanding of how such parameters are associated with health and disease.
detailed description
The analyses conducted by Viome will include, but are not limited to: genetic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, physiological, and physical. The samples collected from participants may include any of these: stool, blood, saliva, cheek swab, vaginal, breast milk/colostrum, nasal swabs or washes, and urine.
Study participants will collect the clinical samples and ship them to Viome labs or CROs (Contract Research Organizations), where they will be analyzed.
The objective of the study is to establish which foods correspond with increased wellness, and which foods correspond to decreased wellness.
The study hypothesis is that by monitoring the patterns of food intake and lifestyle parameters, in conjunction with non-invasive sample testing, personalized diet and lifestyle recommendations can be elucidated.
