Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Every time participants receive diet and lifestyle advice (week 5, 8 and 11), they are asked to formulate implementation intentions describing when and how they plan to implement the received advice. After a three-week period, prior to receiving new advice, participants will be asked to score the degree of compliance with the implementation intention they formulated on a 7-points Likert scale (very low-very high). By monitoring the degree of compliance during the intervention period, both trends within individuals and between groups can be observed.
Secondary outcome
Measures of muscle health status including physical performance, handgrip strength, sedentary behaviour, quality of life, parameters of metabolic health status, protein and lipid profiles in responses to a challenge test, parameters of glycaemic control and patient specific complaints will be measured both at baseline and at the end to identify the degree of variation in this population.
Study objective
In the current pilot-study, we will focus on demonstrating whether personalisation improves compliance with diet and lifestyle advice in a population of community-dwelling seniors. This advice will be based on personal preference, genotype, phenotype and measures of personal muscle health status as well as socio-psychological factors. These data will be combined in decision trees leading to optimal, personalised advice that is expected to give higher compliance with positive effects on muscle health.
Study design
Baseline measures: 14/09/2015 - 24/09/2015
Intervention period (9 wks): 12/10/2015 - 13/12/2015
End measures: 14/12/2015 - 18/12/2015
Intervention
During the nine-week intervention period, every three weeks participants will receive diet and lifestyle advice with personalised content and communicated in personalised form. Content of the advice will be personalised based on cut-off scores on personal health measures (i.e. parameters of metabolic health, genetic variation (SNP), nutrient intake, anthropometry, physical activity and patient specific complaints) and the form will be modified based on socio-psychological factors (i.e. freedom of choice, self-efficacy, implementation intentions).
