What is participatory research?

Participatory research is an innovative approach that places individuals at the heart of the research process. Rather than being an isolated effort led by experts, participatory research actively engages the community in defining problems, collecting data, and analyzing results. It is a true collaboration between researchers and those who experience the realities being explored.

The Part’AGE project aims to improve the diet of people aged 55 to 75 in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Our goal is to study the eating habits and lifestyles of volunteers in order to better adapt nutritional practices to individual needs, thus promoting healthy aging. And you too can contribute to advancing science! In this project, we are conducting a clinical study in which you can participate from home. A "personalized assessment kit" will be provided, containing all the necessary equipment for anthropometric measurements, biological sample collection (urine and blood), and functional oral health tests. You will also be asked to complete simple and accessible online questionnaires. Your involvement could be instrumental in advancing nutrition research! Un « kit d’évaluation personnalisé » vous sera fourni, contenant tout le matériel nécessaire pour les mesures anthropométriques, la collecte d’échantillons biologiques (urine et sang) et les tests fonctionnels de santé orale. Vous aurez également à répondre à des questionnaires en ligne, simples et accessibles. Votre implication pourrait être déterminante pour faire progresser la recherche en nutrition !
