Potato Diet Intervention Study in a College Population

The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of a potato-based diet intervention on Chinese university students. Employing a randomized controlled double-blind trial design, the intervention will span 8 weeks. The primary objectives include:

* Examining the impact of the potato-based diet intervention on the overall glucose and lipid metabolism levels of university students; * Exploring the interactions between the potato-based diet intervention and individual metabolic profiles and glucose-lipid metabolic pathways; * Analyzing the association between the potato-based diet intervention and gut health through gut microbiota analysis.

Participants will undergo either the potato-based diet intervention or the control group treatment. Changes in waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipid levels will be observed to assess the effects of the potato-based diet on university students' health. Additionally, alterations in metabolic profiles and glucose-lipid metabolic pathways will be analyzed, along with gut microbiota analysis, to investigate the relationship between the potato-based diet and gut health.
