The U.S. obesity epidemic continues to have profound impacts on individuals’ health and socioeconomic well-being
Sep 30 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM . Hispanic communities—constituting close to 19% of the total US population and making up the second-largest population in New Hampshire —are particularly vulnerable, with 42% suffering from obesity, 77% being overweight, and many facing associated chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes.
Dao, an assistant professor in the agriculture, nutrition, and food systems department at the UNH College of Life Sciences and Agriculture, is particularly interested in the role of fiber intake. Fiber, an essential component of a healthy diet, undergoes fermentation by the gut microbiota, resulting in the production of metabolites—small molecules that are byproducts of microbial metabolism—that play a crucial role in human metabolism and appetite regulation.
“This study will generate unprecedented information on the interplay between diet, the gut microbiome and human health in Hispanic/Latino adults,” Dao said. “Furthermore, it will reveal opportunities for our food systems and nutrition assistance programs to better serve the state’s Hispanic/Latino communities.”
