Abstract:
Teachers in rural China are considered disadvantaged compared to their urban counterparts on several measures, including working conditions, remuneration, and access to professional development opportunities. We argue that teacher wellbeing plays a crucial role in teacher quality because quality teachers require optimal functioning and wellbeing to teach well. This study reports on the qualitative element of an exploratory sequential mixed-methods research design investigating Chinese rural teachers’ attitudes towards wellbeing. The results of this study confirmed that remuneration, access to professional development opportunities and social status of rural teachers are behind those of urban teachers in China. However, several rural teachers excelled in the profession, showing a passion for teaching that transformed the lives of rural students. This study discovered a gap in the current research on the wellbeing of rural teachers in China and suggested that policymakers should promote the unique positive aspects of rurality, including teachers’ passion for optimal outcomes for their students, rather than focussing on the negative aspects of rurality.

Abstract:
Today’s challenging times highlight the need for workplaces to support employee wellbeing. Workplaces can offer a means to improve employee wellbeing and promote health initiatives. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are less likely than larger organizations to engage with workplace wellbeing initiatives or offer wellbeing provision. This study, conducted in an urban area in central England, explores SME engagement with local government workplace wellbeing provision, and barriers and facilitators to SME engagement, SME implementation of wellbeing provision, and employee uptake. A mixed-methods design was used. Quantitative data were collected via a survey of 103 SMEs and qualitative data from three focus groups with stakeholders involved in promoting SME engagement with wellbeing support (n = 9) and 16 in-depth interviews with SME representatives (n = 8) and employees (n = 8). Quantitative data were analyzed using the chi-squared, Fisher’s exact and Mann-Whitney U tests, and multivariable logistic regression. Qualitative data were analyzed using framework analysis. Findings highlighted several interrelated factors acting as barriers and facilitators to SME engagement with wellbeing initiatives, SME-provided wellbeing provision, and employee uptake. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers, public health teams, and SME leaders on improving provision of and engagement with wellbeing programs. Trust, awareness, knowledge, and communication are highlighted as important prerequisites of optimal provision and engagement.

Abstract:
Psychological wellbeing, which refers to the overall healthy functioning of a person, is a crucial asset. It is a combination of effective functioning and feeling good of one's surroundings. To achieve and maintain psychological wellbeing is very important for any stages of life, especially for young adults. Young adults go through multiple significant transitions in life. The main aim of the current study was to discover the components and predictors of psychological wellbeing of young adults and develop an effective intervention program to enhance their psychological wellbeing. The study was carried out in three different stages. A mixed-method design was implemented to conduct the study. The 42 items Ryff's Psychological Wellbeing Scale was chosen in the first stage for its optimal usability to measure psychological wellbeing. It needed to be adapted for the Bangladeshi population before conducting the study using this tool. So, in the first stage the adaptation took place. The English and Bangla Psychological Wellbeing Scale had a significant positive correlation. In the second stage Bangla Psychological Wellbeing Scale was administered to a 301-representative sample of young adults. The goal of the second stage was to identify the factors related with psychological wellbeing. In the third stage of the current study aimed to create an effective intervention program to improve the psychological wellbeing of the young adults. This study reinforces the six-factor model of psychological well-being by Ryff (1989) in the design of psychological wellbeing program of young adults.

Abstract:
Resilience promotes psychological growth and buffers against the effects of negative events, but the factors that promote optimal wellbeing beyond resilience remain poorly understood. The current study addresses this gap through a positive psychology perspective by examining how (i) promotive factors – optimism and hope, and (ii) protective factors – nostalgia and spirituality promote wellbeing. We hypothesized that both factors will be positively related to wellbeing above and beyond that predicted by resilience. A representative sample of six hundred and twenty-six (n = 626; M age = 32.66, SD = 10.11, 43.45% female) Malaysians responded to an online survey at the end of the country’s second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (June-September 2020). We conducted a series of regression analyses, controlling for resilience, socio-economic status, age, and perceptions towards government crisis management efforts. Results indicate that optimism and hope positively predicted wellbeing above and beyond that predicted by resilience. Results also showed that the only significant protective factor contributing to wellbeing is spirituality. Nostalgia did not significantly predict wellbeing beyond resilience. The findings are of theoretical relevance for wellbeing and resilience research, and practically beneficial in informing mental health interventions.

Abstract:
"Diabetes is a complex endocrine disease with a series of complications and it represents a significant public health concern globally and regionally in Romania. Specific aspects of motivation as well as mental wellbeing are considered to be related to diabetes management. When the psychological needs are supported, people experience better quality motivation, higher sense of wellbeing and tend to maintain desirable behaviors. Our objective was to examine the predictive role of motivation and wellbeing variables on glycemic control in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in Transylvania, Romania. We also targeted other relevant factors (demographic parameters, clinical illness characteristics, diabetes-related knowledge) which influence optimal glycemic control. Participants (N=232) were Hungarian speaking adult patients from Transylvania, Romania, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Demographic and clinical data sets were collected. Participants completed a set of questionnaires developed to measure motivational dimensions, subjective wellbeing and diabetes-related knowledge. Targeted motivation variables were established based on Self-Determination Theory. The study followed an observational correlational design. Hierarchical multiple regression models were used to investigate the predictors of glycemic control. Results show that perceived competence and autonomous motivation have increased predictive power on optimal glycemic control, but the effect of motivation is partially mediated by wellbeing components. Illness related characteristics like vascular complications, comorbidities and illness duration proved to be essential predictors of glycemic control. Illness duration seemed to have a specific effect on glycemic control for patients living in Transylvania, longer duration predicts better glycemic control. Future research should examine the topic using an experimental design. Keywords: type 2 diabetes, glycemic control, autonomy, competence, relatedness, wellbeing, illness characteristics, diabetes-related knowledge"

Abstract:
Including salt in our dietary habits remains crucial in contemporary food consumption. However, excessive intake of salt has evolved into a widespread issue that significantly contributes to the onset and persistence of various diseases, including cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. To avoid medical conditions, it is essential to limit our salt intake. Eliminating salt from our diet, on the other hand, may lead to low sodium levels, which can cause diseases such as hyponatremia and sudden death. As such, established guidelines exist to determine the appropriate amount of salt intake. Therefore, adhering to classical and modern salt consumption regulations is crucial to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE ✓ To study the importance of salt ✓ To study low-intake and high-intake salt risk factors ✓ To understand classical and modern methods for the consumption of salt.

Abstract:
One of the most important tasks of the teacher is to build positive interpersonal relationships and thus generate a positive socio-emotional climate. The study aims to emphasize the importance of the emotional dimension of teachinglearning. Starting from the premise that wellbeing is a conditional factor of academic success, we focused, in this material, both on theoretical aspects related to wellbeing as an axis of teaching-learning, as well as on the results of an investigative approach regarding the state wellbeing of students in teachinglearning activities. The questions that stood out to us were the following: How much importance do students attach to wellbeing? To what extent are teachers concerned about the wellbeing of students? To what extent does the school teach students to focus on positive experiences and overlook negative ones? What are the students' suggestions regarding the main directions of action that can lead to student wellbeing in the classroom? Based on the processing and interpretation of the data collected through the application of a questionnaire, the recorded conclusions allowed the identification of some aspects regarding the importance of students' wellbeing in teaching activities, but also their suggestions with reference to building an educational climate focused on wellbeing. The research data demonstrated that the emotional, affective-motivational dimension is as important as the (meta)cognitive one. Wellbeing is essential in the didactic activity. Students' negative thoughts and emotions can be shaped, restructured, by building an environment focused on wellbeing that allows optimal and balanced adaptation to diverse situations.

Abstract:
Several studies highlighted that religious practice and spirituality are independent indicators of the levels of subjective well-being and quality of life. Faith, through its influence on behaviors and values, provides answers to the human need for meaning and hope, allowing for self-transcendence and openness towards a broader meaning context. This study aims at analyzing differences and similarities in the practice of religion and its role on perceived quality of life among participants belonging to three different religious traditions: Christianity, Hinduism, Islam. Data were collected in India among 50 participants: 20 of them were Christians, 10 Muslims and 20 Hindus. A group of 20 Christians was recruited in Italy, to be compared with the Indian Christians. Participants were administered a) Flow Questionnaire, b) Life Theme Questionnaire, c) Order/Disorder Questionnaire, d) Eudaimonic and Hedonic Happiness Investigation, and e) a questionnaire specifically designed to investigate the meaning and role of God in participants’ life, and participants’ understanding of other religions. Results showed that faith and relationship with God played a central role in the life of participants across groups, being related to future goals, providing meaning and a positive interpretation of events and relations. These findings point to possible directions to improve interreligious dialogue.

Reed, R. J. "A mathematical model to determine optimum cadence for an individual cyclist using power output, heart rate and cadence data collected in the field." Thesis, University of Salford, 2013. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/30698/.

Full text
Abstract:
We aim to develop a methodology to determine individual optimum cadences for competitive cyclists using field data. Cadence is the number of pedal crank revolutions per minute or pedalling rate. Currently athletes tend to select a cadence intuitively (choosing a gear that permits a cadence that feels comfortable), with some advice from coaches. Literature defines optimum cadence based on gross efficiency. However only power output, heart rate and cadence measurements from the field are available to us. Hence we determine an optimum cadence as the cadence that minimises heart rate for a given power output. In so doing we consider heart rate a reasonable proxy for gross efficiency. We fit statistical models of power output, heart rate amd cadence, with heart rate lagged behind changes in power output, at various lags (though we believe 30 seconds is appropriate). We consider the effect of fatigue on optimum cadence through calculation of training impulses or TRIMPs, but do not consider the effects of fitness, gradient, or whether athletes are standing or sitting. Optimum cadences are found for two athletes (83 and 70 revolutions per minute respectively); these cadences are similar to athletes’ preferred cadences (82-92 and 65-75 rpm respectively). Optimum cadences do not vary by power output or heart rate in our study, and are relatively insensitive to TRIMP. Power output reduces by approximately 2% for cadences 10 rpm above or below optimum. The methodology we propose can be implemented by a wide range of competitive cyclists to calculate optimum cadence; cyclists need to collect power output, heart rate and cadence measurements from training sessions over an extended period (>6 months), and ride at a range of cadences within those sessions. Cyclists and their coaches can re-calculate optimum cadence, say every 6 months, to take account of possible changes in fitness.

Abstract:
Australians have three principal sources for retirement funding - the Age Pension, individual superannuation and individual savings outside of the superannuation umbrella. The Age Pension, a non-contributory payment that, alone, provides only for a modest lifestyle, is means tested for both assets and income, with the provision available to receive either a full or part pension. Most Australians also hold a personal superannuation account into which is contributed a mandatory percentage of labour income, known as the Superannuation Guarantee. These accounts, for which the individual is responsible for the investment strategy and for which the individual bears the risk, can also receive discretionary, tax-advantaged contributions.

Abstract:
AbstractOne of the key roles of culture is to shape how human groups pursue personal and collective wellbeing, and thus each culture contains prescriptions and customs about how to achieve optimal functioning and wellbeing. This chapter identifies four fundamental differences in the conceptualizations of mental wellbeing across cultures. The identified differences are in the centrality of hedonic experience, self-enhancement, autonomy, and the relevance of contextual factors in determining wellbeing. These overlapping dynamics provide a framework for categorizing and making sense of existing cross-cultural findings on mental wellbeing. The chapter discusses the theoretical and empirical implications of the reviewed cross-cultural findings for international measurements of wellbeing. We argue that various measures of wellbeing may function differently in different global regions, with crucial implications for how countries are ranked based on wellbeing. Our review also highlights the relevance of cross-cultural variations in the concepts of wellbeing for designing interventions and policies and evaluating their effectiveness across cultures.

Abstract:
Abstract Global epidemiological studies have revealed that climate change has led to a decrease in biodiversity and has been responsible for the pollution of air, water, and food, including the presence of microplastics. These factors have contributed to the rise of various non-communicable diseases (NCDs). As a result, the overall expenses related to healthcare, work productivity, mental health, and the economic situation of nations, particularly those with limited resources, have been adversely affected. The human exposome, epithelial barriers, microbiome and immune system are all affected leading to an impact on immune health. These have led to a higher prevalence of NCDs such as diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, cancer, asthma and allergies. Vulnerable and underserved populations such as children, pregnant women, migrants those with underlying disease, the elderly and indigenous people are particularly burdened by the health effects of climate change. Wild and domestic animals and food chains are also severely affected by the same factors. One Health is an interdisciplinary approach calling for collaborative efforts of working locally, nationally, and globally, to attain optimal health for people, animals and our environment because of their interconnectedness. To reverse planetary degradation, achieve sustainability and reduce the risk of potential disease outbreaks a multidisciplinary, cross-sector, and transborder approach under G20’s leadership to change practices and policies at every level, from global to local is needed.

Abstract:
Workforce wellbeing is of strategic importance in new economy, not only for enterprises but for SMEs as well. Fatigue is one of key factors which affect workforce wellbeing, particularly in risk-sensitive environments such as manufacturing. Despite that importance of fatigue is identified in literature, this aspect is not much leveraged in existing solutions aiming high levels of effectiveness by optimal operation planning and scheduling. In this paper, a solution aiming optimal fatigue-aware planning and scheduling in manufacturing based on semantic knowledge graphs is presented. Thanks to adoption of ontologies, our approach enables seamless integration of heterogeneous data sources including legacy ERP systems, external services as well as sensors such as IoT wearable devices. Complementing the planning and scheduling solution, two additional apps are developed: 1) mobile app for physiological data acquisition using wearable device for purpose of fatigue estimation 2) shopfloor monitoring web app with machine operation instructions incorporated.

Abstract:
Abstract The offshore marine environment has the potential to play a significant role in meeting the projected global demand for high quality protein from finfish aquaculture. However, moving aquaculture structures to open ocean locations poses technical and engineering challenges due to increased environmental loads from larger waves and current velocities. Several global initiatives are exploring this opportunity, but none is tackling the ambitious goal of developing soft-structure, mobile solutions. Our aim is to re-imagine the entire approach to finfish aquaculture by considering the key variables, temperature, water motion and husbandry, to understand the requirements for optimal fish wellbeing and growth. This knowledge will enable the design and future implementation of radically new Mobile Aquaculture Production Systems (MAPS). These systems will be flexible, mobile enclosures, readily customizable to support optimal conditions throughout the fish grow-out production cycle, addressing the design challenges for growing, transporting and harvesting fish offshore. The long-term goal is to create an optimal culture system for fish that supports fish wellbeing and growth while enabling increased production, reduced capital outlay and operating costs in a novel, scalable, low-impact, sustainable aquaculture system.

Abstract:
The background to the problem we are trying to solve is the need for a reliable and affordable baby monitor that provides parents with real-time information on their baby's condition and wellbeing [1]. While there are various babymonitors on the market, many of them have limitations such as limited range, poor connectivity, and lack of features [2]. Our proposal is to develop a smart baby monitor that incorporates a range of technologies such as Wi-Fi connectivity, temperature and humidity sensors, audio and video monitoring, and a smartphone app for remote monitoring and control [3]. Our device also includes features such as a nightlight, lullabies, and two-way communication, making it a comprehensive solution for parents. One of the main challenges we faced was ensuring that the device's connectivity was reliable and stable, particularly when transmitting data wirelessly over Wi-Fi. We addressed this challenge by using high-quality components and optimizing the device's firmware to ensure optimal performance [4]. During experimentation, we tested the device in various scenarios such as different room sizes, Wi- Fi network setups, and environmental conditions. The results showed that the device performed reliably and accurately in all scenarios, providing parents with real-time updates on their baby's condition and wellbeing. The most important results we found were that our device provided parents with a comprehensive and reliable solution for monitoring their baby's condition and wellbeing. Our device's features, such as video monitoring and smartphone control, made it easier for parents to stay connected with their baby, even when they were not in the same room [5]. Our idea is ultimately something that people should use because it provides parents with peace of mind, knowing that they can monitor their baby's condition and wellbeing in real-time, even when they are not in the same room. Additionally, our device's comprehensive features, such as video monitoring and two-way communication, make it a valuable tool for parents to use as their baby grows and develops [6].

Abstract:
The bullying phenomenon is annually bringing prejudice to the emotional and physical wellbeing of millions of people worldwide, leaving behind hard-to-heal trauma. Although it is considered an antisocial behaviour equally acknowledged and condemned by the public opinion, recent statistics outline an increasing rate of incidence, fact that reiterates the importance of accurately pinpointing the contexts which allow the emergence of this phenomenon and, obviously, of identifying the optimal methods of intervention. This article captures, in summary, the main explanatory theories that complete the information picture (the corpus of information), uniting the individual and the systemic perspectives.

Abstract:
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often require lifelong care to meet their daily needs, which is typically provided by informal sources like family members as well as formal caregivers from home health agencies. The persistent stress of raising a child with ASD can potentially lead to parental burnout, highlighting the importance of understanding the struggles faced by these caregivers. Clinicians must prioritize the well-being of both the individuals with ASD and their dedicated caregivers by gaining a comprehensive understanding of the challenges they encounter. Our research aims to investigate and comprehend the specific challenges faced by caregivers of individuals diagnosed with ASD. By utilizing the Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI; Novak & Guest, 1989), we sought to pinpoint the primary elements that contribute to caregiver burden and evaluate how it affects the wellbeing of caregivers. These findings can ultimately lay the foundation for targeted interventions and strategies aimed at lessening the burden on caregivers, ensuring they receive the necessary support to provide optimal care for their loved ones with ASD while maintaining their own well-being.

Abstract:
Sensory processing and regulation have garnered particular focus by professionals when recommending interventions to help neurodivergent individuals. However, little research has been done into the extent that neurodiverse individuals (the general population) understand sensory management, specifically: sensory seeking; sensory avoiding; and the concept of sensory diets, despite the potential value of this to their wellbeing. This study used a mixed-methods approach to explore sensory awareness and preferences in adult respondents and to understand their sensory experiences, including sensory triggers and their management of these. The overall aim of this study was to understand whether and how a mobile application could be designed to build a user’s awareness of their own sensory needs through sensory self-assessment; and recommend a personalised sensory diet to support their sensory regulation.Twenty-seven people completed a survey asking about their understanding of sensory processing and management. Survey data highlighted a lack of participant awareness of vestibular, proprioceptive and interoceptive senses; and the use of sensory diets to help manage sensory processing and maintain an optimal sensory experience. Findings informed the design of a low-fidelity app for further evaluation. Qualitative interviews were then conducted with 14 people. The purpose of these were two-fold: to gain richer data on individuals’ sensory perceptions and experiences; and to evaluate the concept of the sensory awareness prototype. Data from the interviews were thematically analysed and affinity mapping was used to analyse the prototype concept testing, capturing participants’ views on the potential usefulness of the app. Analysis of interview data highlighted how participant experiences consisted of sensory preferences – innate or learned inclinations toward specific sensory stimuli – and sensory triggers; stimuli that cause a strong response within the individual. Behavioural responses to preferences and triggers were categorised as seeking, avoiding, or employing no structured strategy. Seeking and avoiding behaviours were classified as either a premeditated strategy to prevent stress or a coping mechanism to try and alleviate stress. The selection of these depended upon environmental opportunities or on the intensity/impact of a trigger. Participant descriptions included instances of a cycle of sensory response, leading to physical response, leading to emotional response and a consequential reduction in sensory tolerance which further impacted physical wellbeing. In cases where no proactive strategy was in place, individuals often relied on instinctive “fight or flight” reactions.A high-fidelity prototype app, “SenseHarmony”, was developed which incorporated sensory screening and mood-logging features and provided sensory diet recommendations. This was tested with a further five participants through task-based usability analysis and interviews. This evaluation suggested that digital tools can be of value as an educational resource and to help equip people with a better awareness of, and strategies for, managing their own sensory needs. Through this study, we have sought to highlight how individuals interact with and manage their day-to-day sensory experiences and the potential benefits of a mobile app to enable this. We suggest that a tool to help individuals predict and manage their sensory responses can promote a shift from coping mechanisms to strategies, and support wellbeing.

Abstract:
Metro-Rail transit systems are large-scale networks in numerous modern urban areas that play prominent direct and supportive roles in providing efficient mobility for sustaining communities and local economies. Any event leading to failure of a metro-rail network could have serious societal consequences, such as dramatic effect on the safety and wellbeing of commuters in addition to direct and indirect costs from its diminished performance that lead to resilience loss. Potential performance losses might exhibit complexity and pose a challenge for measurement and prediction. Hence, measuring the resilience of such a network enables its efficient enhancement in a cost-effective manner. Enhancing resilience highly depends on identifying recovery strategies with special attention not only to restoring connectedness but also on reducing associated failure and recovery costs. An effective recovery strategy must demonstrate rapid optimal restoration of a disrupted system while minimizing the cost of the disruption. The objective of this paper is to identify effective recovery strategies to reduce the performance loss and to minimize the total cost of a network during and after a disruptive event, using Washington D.C. Metro with its 91 stations and 140 links as a case study. Method of measuring performance loss in this paper, illustrates that the best recovery sequence typically reflects the order of components ranked based on their degree of vulnerability in the network. Also, the proposed cost model provides a basis to decision makers to identify an optimal recovery strategy according to both paramount recovery sequence and minimum cost consideration.

Abstract:
It has become common wisdom amongst monetary policy professionals that central banks in Latin America should adopt inflation targeting. Pure inflation targeting implicitly assumes a social loss welfare function dependent on only inflation. In this working paper, using subjective well-being survey data for Latin America the authors present evidence that both inflation and unemployment reduce wellbeing; where the cost of inflation in terms of unemployment, hence the relative size of the weights in a social well-being function, is about one to eight, almost double of that found for OECD countries. The evidence presented in this paper, combined with the low frequency of happiness data, may not be sufficiently convincing for central banks to adopt happiness-targeting rule. However, happiness data would be useful to inform policy makers regarding the optimal disinflation policy or at least allow consciousness of the potential discontent of different sub-groups of the population of different disinflation strategies.

Abstract:
Across the tertiary education landscape, few areas of focus have been as enduring or as pressing as student mental health and wellbeing. Those of us working in student services have long understood that academic success is deeply interconnected with the broader wellbeing of the students we serve. Research into student engagement has reinforced this understanding. Kahu’s concept of the educational interface highlights that a student's personal context, including their mental health, financial security, family responsibilities, and sense of belonging, directly shapes their capacity to succeed in their studies (Kahu, 2013). When students face stress, exclusion, or financial hardship, their ability to engage fully with learning is significantly impacted. Supporting the whole student is not an optional extra; it is fundamental to success (Kahu & Nelson, 2018). Today, this understanding is even more urgent. Students are navigating a complex and rapidly changing world. Many are managing the rising cost of living, balancing study with part-time or full-time work, and transitioning from increasingly diverse educational pathways into tertiary education. In this context, it is no longer enough for institutions to simply offer health and wellbeing services. We must work to reshape our institutional cultures and embed wellbeing as a visible and core part of the tertiary education experience. Wellbeing is no longer a “nice to have” but must be woven throughout a student's learning journey, rather than being something accessed only in times of crisis. Across Australia and New Zealand, tertiary institutions are beginning to respond. One important shift has been the move from standalone support services towards embedding wellbeing across all aspects of student life. There is a growing focus on proactive strategies. These include peer-led models of support; early intervention programs, such as universal mental health screening and broader efforts to address financial stability; and housing and social inclusion, alongside mental health. Institutions are also placing greater emphasis on culturally safe practices and on targeted support for specific groups, including international students, students with disability, LGBTIQA+ students, and students with caregiving responsibilities. Increasingly, student voice and partnership are at the heart of this work. Students are now co-designing initiatives with staff to ensure that wellbeing programs are accessible, culturally relevant, and genuinely responsive to the needs of students. Overall, we are seeing a shift away from reactive models towards more systemic, student-centred approaches. There is growing recognition that creating the conditions for students to thrive requires a whole-of-institution commitment that protects against harm, promotes resilience and inclusion, and embeds support within the everyday fabric of students’ lives. As a result, this issue could not be more timely. Each of the authors explores student health and wellbeing from a range of important and interconnected angles.

Abstract:
Health and wellbeing and susceptibility to disease are causally linked to food and nutrition intake, an observation that has informed dietary advice for centuries. However, physiological response to different food types varies greatly by individual, meaning that a “one size fits all” approach to nutritional advice may be inadequate to ensure optimum health outcomes. Personalised nutrition (PN) services, operating at the intersection between health advisory, the wellness sector, and the food system, seek to address this through individualised targeted dietary advice focused on achieving lasting dietary behaviour change that is beneficial for health. In this report we specifically analyse the evolution of personalised nutrition defined as nutritional advice based on personalised analysis of scientific data obtained from the customers’ phenotype and the scientific knowledge base underpinning such advice. We will touch on technologies that enable the personalisation of food more generally only insofar as they might impact PN in the future through wider network effects within the food system. Personalised nutrition as a clinical and academic field of study has existed for at least four decades, however recent investor interest and cheaper direct-to-consumer (D2C) testing devices have enabled a growing commercial PN sector that has evolved over the past ten years. Commercial PN services provide mostly advice, which is claimed to be based on the latest scientific evidence showing the causal connections between certain individual phenotypic traits (genes, lifestyle factors, gut microbe, blood parameters, age, sex, etc.) and the physiological response to food. In addition to advice, providers increasingly offer personalised supplements and vitamins (which are within the FSA remit) as well as personalised, tailored subscription meal plans. The sector in the UK is currently still small but represented by a number of different business models serving increasing consumer interest in health-related offerings. Moreover, there are hopes that commercial PN might, in the longer-term future, contribute to public health. In this report we have analysed the specific input trends that have enabled the emergence of the sector with the drivers and challenges that are shaping its evolution today. This analysis included a thorough assessment of the science that underpins PN services, the role of technology trends and commercial activity including an overview of the current global and UK markets, wider social trends that impact consumer uptake of PN, and the existing regulatory environment that surrounds PN, a currently unregulated commercial activity. The potential impact on public health, food safety and consumer choice as the industry develops over the coming decade were also assessed.
