OPUS - supermarket study and sleep

Under the heading 'Rye bread wins dieticians’ hearts',  the University Post last week described a study testing the health benefits of New Nordic Diet which is part of the research project OPUS that is carried out at LIFE. The research project involves several work packages, one of which is the supermarket model.

 

In connection with the study, test persons "shop" in a  supermarket that has been developed at Bülowsvej. 

 

Also other media have recently reported about OPUS and the New Nordic Diet, including the test supermarket. Read the article in the Danish daily Politiken.

 

Another work package that also forms part of the OPUS research project, WP 4, examines the connection between sleep and obesity. Watch a lecture by Jean Philippe Chaput from Department of Human Nutrition at LIFE on the connection between impaired sleep and obesity.

 

The lecture is broadcast in the series ‘Danskernes Akademi’ on Danmarks Radio and can be found here:
