The proposed study is part of a PNRR 2022 project (call "Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases (NCDs) with high impact on healthcare and social assistance systems," currently awaiting funding response) and represents the continuation of an observational clinical study named TRANSMIC, approved by the pediatric ethics committee of the Tuscany region. TRANSMIC was an integral part of a European research project within the joint programming initiative (JPI), under the HDHL-INTIMIC theme: "A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life," aimed at understanding the cause-effect relationships between diet, gut microbiome, and human health.Read full original descriptionShow less

Understanding the role of diet in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and exploring its role in autoimmune inflammatory conditions with joint manifestations, such as JIA, provides additional insights into the development, progression, and management of these conditions, opening new horizons for the use of dietary treatments in preventing these inflammatory conditions.
