The unsustainability of the EU food system calls for a shift toward more sustainable and healthy consumption patterns. However, the system’s complexity—marked by multiple loosely coupled subsystems and interacting drivers—poses a major challenge to identifying effective interventions. To locate leverage points for policy action, we develop a high-level systems map that captures the core dynamics of the EU food system using a s...

Purpose The shorter rowing course at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, which is 1500 m instead of 2000 m, potentially alters the physiological demands of racing. This study aims to elucidate whether the shortened distance favours rowers with a more speed-oriented phenotype, using two non-invasive profiling approaches: locomotor profiling and force-velocity (F-v) profiling. Methods Nine nationally competitive male rowers completed...

Prognostic information is needed to balance benefits and risks of cancer treatment in older patients. Metabolomics-based scores were previously developed to predict 5- and 10-year mortality (MetaboHealth) and biological age (MetaboAge). This study aims to investigate the association of MetaboHealth and MetaboAge with 1-year mortality in older patients with solid tumors, and to study their predictive value for mortality in addi...
