description
Study of Identical (monozygotic) and non-identical (dizygotic) adult twins
code
UCD_TWIN
startDate
2014-09-01 00:00:00.0
Study type
Human Intervention
Principle Investigator
Dr. Aifric O'Sullivan
Objectives
To explore the genetic and diet related factors that influence metabolic phenotypes in monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (non-identical) adult twins. It will identify variable and non-variable components of metabolomic profiles, and explore the dietary factors that contribute to non-variables components of metabolomic profiles.
Exclusion criteria
Less than 18 years old Pregnant or lactating Individuals that are not free-living e.g. institutes where meals are prepared in bulk such as nursing homes, prisons etc. An inability to read, write or understand English Following a prescribed diet for any reason, including weight loss in the last 3 months, insulin dependent diabetes, coeliac disease, Crohn’s disease Metabolic disease or conditions such as diabetes that require chronic therapeutic nutritional or medical treatment.
Inclusion criteria
Adults (18-65 years) with fluency in English
