The MED4Youth project aims to strengthen the link between the Mediterranean Diet (MD) and health benefits against youth obesity and associated cardiovascular disease risk factors through the identification of evident positive effects exerted by an energyrestricted MD including healthy products from the Mediterranean basin (oil, mixed nuts, pomegranate and hummus) and sourdough bread. The project also aims to elucidate whether the health effects of MD are associated with changes in the gut microbiota and gut-derived metabolites in order to shed light on the interplay between MD, gut microbiome, metabolome and youth obesity. As the project is constituted by different building blocks with its intrinsic challenges (e.g. dietary intervention, product development, health and intake biomarkers; building an app-platform, setting up harmonised analytical methods between partners; educational materials, …) identification of risk-areas and anticipation of possible future risks that may rise from project execution is of utmost importance. This deliverable reviews the risks anticipated during proposal stage as well as includes new ones as a result of project development. It also comments on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the project.
