Objective
Although there is strong evidence for links between diet, lifestyle and gut to in infectious disease and allergy, there is little knowledge of the mechanisms and no established markers of risk to target treatment and advice for those infants at high risk. In this project, a multi-disciplinary team will investigate these problems across five countries in Europe with very different diet and lifestyle and different risks of allergy and childhood infection. New tools for establishing consumer attitudes to foods and feeding behaviour and to the relationship between lifestyle, diet and disease in infancy will be developed and applied in groups of infants in five countries in north and south Europe, participating in a either a cross sectional, allergy case control, or an intervention study of infant functional foods. The infants will provide faecal samples throughout the first year and these will be used to identify risk factors and biomarkers for disease incidence. Data will be used for a variety of disseminations to health professionals, the food industry and consumers.
