Prevention and nutrition research

Insight into how nutrition, physical exercise, other behaviour and the environment affect gene activity provides new opportunities to better understand and prevent the development of common diseases such as diabetes or cardio-vascular diseases. We need to know more about whether and how prevention works. As part of the National Prevention Strategy, the BMBF is developing an action plan which brings together research funding for all approaches that are relevant to prevention and nutrition research - from epigenetics to epidemiology - in an interdisciplinary effort.

    Nutrition Research

    How and why food can make us either healthy or ill, what impact nutrition has on metabolic diseases or cancer - these are the issues that modern nutrition research focuses on. Nutrition researchers provide the basis for the development of new foods and new strategies in health-conscious nutrition.
