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 device, said first dataset comprising information correlating the presence of individual alleles known to be associated with increased or decreased disease susceptibility, with a lifestyle risk factor;
(ii) providing a second dataset on a data processing device, said second dataset comprising information matching each said risk factor with at least one lifestyle recommendation;
(iii) inputting a third dataset identifying alleles present in said subject, wherein said alleles are one or more of the alleles of said first dataset;
(iv) determining the risk factors associated with said alleles present in said human subject by correlating said alleles with risk factors provided by said first dataset;
(v) determining at least one lifestyle recommendation based on each identified risk factor from step (iv) by matching said risk factor with a lifestyle recommendation from said second dataset; and
(vi) generating a personalized lifestyle advice plan based comprising at least one lifestyle recommendation determined in step (v), wherein said personalized lifestyle advice plan includes recommended minimum and/or maximum amounts of food subtypes.

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.
