Current Human Studies

We promote healthy and active aging based on research focused on nutrition and physical activity choices that encourage vitality. Through our research, important theories about nutrition and health are investigated; the results in turn, lead to dietary recommendations for millions of Americans. Since research based on human participation has the best chance of yielding results that can be applied to the general public, we usually have a constant need for volunteers to participate in nutrition research studies.
