RECRUITING

Adding Polyphenol-rich Pulses to Daily Diet Improves Skin Health by Reshaping the Skin Microbiome

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Skin health is influenced by the microbiome, lipids, oxidative stress, inflammation, and UV exposure. A 14-week trial with 50 women aged 45-65 will test if polyphenol-rich pulses improve skin health by affecting these factors. Using a white rice control diet, the study will measure skin parameters and analyze correlations with changes in lipids and microbiome, potentially proving the benefits of pulses.
