Investigations of associations of food nutrition and safety factors with the risk of chronic diseases are limited and studies in China are still lacking. The investigators aim to collect basic characteristics of participants at baseline, including sex, age, smoking, exercise, marriage, education level, dietary factors, and so on, to assess the association of food nutrition and safety factors including various food items, dietary fatty acids, and internal biomarkers of food contaminants such as acrylamide and 3-MCPD with various chronic diseases in a Chinese middle-aged and elderly population. We will use multi-omics technology to investigate the causal mechanisms. Results from this study will be valuable for chronic diseases prevention in China.
The associations between food nutrition and safety factors with the risk of chronic diseases are still unclear. This study is conducted in Jinhua, a city with a high prevalence of chronic diseases in China, to assess relations between food nutrition and safety factors and chronic diseases.
