Patent Images
1. A computer assisted method of providing a personalized lifestyle advice plan for a human subject comprising:
- (i) providing a first dataset on a data processing means, said first dataset comprising information correlating the presence of individual alleles at genetic loci with a lifestyle risk factor, wherein at least one allele of each genetic locus is known to be associated with increased or decreased disease susceptibility;
(ii) providing a second dataset on a data processing means, said second dataset comprising information matching each said risk factor with at least one lifestyle recommendation;
(iii) inputting a third dataset identifying alleles at one or more of the genetic loci of said first dataset of said human subject;
(iv) determining the risk factors associated with said alleles of said human subject using said first dataset;
(v) determining at least one appropriate lifestyle recommendation based on each identified risk factor from step (iv) using said second dataset; and
(vi) generating a personalized lifestyle advice plan based on said lifestyle recommendations.

Abstract
The present invention relates to methods of assessing disease susceptibility associated with dietary and lifestyle risk factors. The invention provides for analysis of alleles at loci of genes associated with lifestyle risk factors, and the disease susceptibility profile of an individual is determined by reference to datasets which further match the risk factor with lifestyle recommendations in order to produce a personalized lifestyle advice plan.
