Adherence
Personalized nutrition recommendations must be derived from validated models and algorithms that demonstrate acceptable predictive performance on external populations.
If you use an app or service that gives you diet advice based on algorithms, check if they validate their models on diverse groups of people. This ensures the advice is likely to be accurate for you.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Model- and algorithm-based PN advice should be validated to demonstrate acceptable predictive performance. Predictive models of nutrition-related outcomes can be generated using large-scale biological and phenotypic data sets representing individuals across populations (22).
