This project will provide answers to fundamental questions in evolutionary biology while identifying diet compositions that will benefit human health and well-being. Using a longitudinal public-health database, the Raine Study, and a theoretical framework from the field of Nutritional Ecology, the project will provide new knowledge on how nutrition affects key life-history traits in humans including immune function, reproductive health, physical appearance, and healthy ageing. A systematic literature review on how diet impacts these life-history traits in animals generally, and an experimental study of the effect of diet on health and reproduction in the house mouse (a lab analog species for humans) will complement the Raine Study findings.

该项目将为进化生物学中的基本问题提供答案，同时确定有益于人类健康和福祉的饮食组成。利用纵向公共卫生数据库，Raine研究和营养生态学领域的理论框架，该项目将提供有关营养如何影响人类关键生命史特征的新知识，包括免疫功能，生殖健康，身体外观和健康老龄化。关于饮食如何影响动物的这些生活史特征的系统性文献综述，以及饮食对家鼠（人类的实验室模拟物种）健康和生殖影响的实验研究将补充Raine研究结果。
