French PNNS adequation score and risk for cancer
Lifestyle diseases, like obesity and certain cancers, are now so common that we speak in terms of an epidemic. Dr. Anne-Claire Vergnaud’s goal is to identify the factors at play when adults gain weight and to determine the effect of nutrition public health programs on health. Her findings help clarify the interactions between diet, smoking and weight, for instance, and suggest that following official dietary advice may reduce the risk of early death. The impact on health policy and individual choices could be great.
My research focuses on understanding dietary mechanisms leading to weight gain during adult life and also evaluating what effect public health decisions (for example, the French PNNS) could have on obesity prevalence and weight gain tendency in Europe.
