A new Horizon Europe-funded research project, NUTRIMIND ("Understanding Mental Health and Nutrition in Europe"), launched at the beginning of June, aims to explore how nutrition, dietary choices, the gut microbiome, and lifestyle factors might interact with mental health. The project will examine these relationships from childhood through older adulthood using data from multiple European population cohorts.
