Relationship Between Variations in Taste Perception and Chronic Disease Risk Factors as a Function of Age
In Brief
An observational study for Cardiovascular Disease and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the Taste Perception Study is to assess variations in the ability to taste and perceive sensations from various stimuli in younger (18-49 years) and older (50-85 years) volunteers. The study's goal is to determine how these sensations influence what one likes to eat, and what one chooses to eat, and whether there is an association with dietary intake, body composition and chronic disease. Another objective of the study is to determine the association between variations in oral sensations and genes mediating sensory perception and dietary behaviours.
