Community-Based Nutritional Intervention Based on the Planetary Health Diet and Its Impact on Gut Microbiota in Rural Women in Mexico (PHD-RURAL)
Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Community-Based Nutritional Intervention Based on the Planetary Health Diet and Its Impact on Dietary Intake, Gut Microbiota Composition, Anthropometric Outcomes, and Environmental Indicators in Rural Women in Querétaro, Mexico
This study aims to evaluate the impact of a community-based nutritional intervention based on the Planetary Health Diet on dietary patterns, gut microbiota composition, and health indicators in adult women living in rural communities in Querétaro, Mexico.
Participants will receive nutritional education, individualized counseling, and practical workshops focused on improving dietary habits and promoting sustainable food choices. The intervention is designed using behavioral and community-based approaches to facilitate long-term adherence to healthy and environmentally sustainable diets.
Outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention, including changes in diet quality, anthropometric measures, gut microbiota composition, and environmental impact indicators such as carbon footprint, water use, and land use.

Descripción detallada
This study is a community-based, quasi-experimental intervention designed to evaluate the effects of a nutritional program based on the Planetary Health Diet (PHD) on dietary intake, gut microbiota composition, anthropometric outcomes, and environmental sustainability indicators in adult women from rural communities in Querétaro, Mexico.
The intervention is developed using the Intervention Mapping framework and is grounded in Social Cognitive Theory, addressing behavioral, environmental, and psychosocial determinants of dietary practices. The program includes educational sessions, individualized nutritional counseling, and practical workshops focused on sustainable food preparation and dietary behavior change.
Participants are women aged 18 to 59 years residing in rural communities who meet inclusion criteria and provide informed consent. The intervention will be implemented over a defined period, with baseline and post-intervention assessments.
Primary outcomes include adherence to the Planetary Health Diet, measured using the EAT-Lancet Diet Index (ELD-I). Secondary outcomes include changes in gut microbiota composition assessed through 16S rRNA sequencing, anthropometric indicators (weight, BMI, waist circumference), and environmental impact metrics such as carbon footprint, water use, and land use.
Microbiota analysis will be conducted using fecal samples, with DNA extraction, amplification of the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq platform, and analysis using QIIME software.
Statistical analysis will include descriptive and inferential methods, including paired comparisons, ANCOVA, regression models, and multivariate analyses to assess changes over time and associations between variables.
The study follows ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki and has been approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro.

Medidas de resultado primarias
Medida de resultado |
Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in adherence to the Planetary Health Diet
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline to post-intervention (approximately 12 weeks)
|
Adherence to the Planetary Health Diet will be assessed using the EAT-Lancet Diet Index (ELD-I), which evaluates compliance with recommended intake ranges for key food groups and provides a composite score reflecting diet quality and sustainability.
Scores range from 0 to 14, with higher scores indicating greater adherence to the Planetary Health Diet and a more sustainable dietary pattern.

Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Changes in gut microbiota composition
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline to post-intervention (approximately 12 weeks)
|
Gut microbiota composition will be assessed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing from fecal samples.
Analysis will include alpha diversity (e.g., Shannon index), beta diversity (e.g., Bray-Curtis dissimilarity), and relative abundance of bacterial taxa.
|
Baseline to post-intervention (approximately 12 weeks)
|
|
Change in dietary carbon footprint
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline to post-intervention (approximately 12 weeks)
|
Diet-related carbon footprint will be estimated using environmental indicator data for the Mexican diet and dietary intake information obtained from a semi-food frequency questionnaire (SFFQ).
|
Baseline to post-intervention (approximately 12 weeks)
|
|
Change in dietary water footprint
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline to post-intervention (approximately 12 weeks)
|
Diet-related water footprint will be estimated using environmental indicator data for the Mexican diet and dietary intake information obtained from a semi-food frequency questionnaire (SFFQ).
|
Baseline to post-intervention (approximately 12 weeks)
|
|
Change in dietary land use
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline to post-intervention (approximately 12 weeks)
|
Diet-related land use will be estimated using environmental indicator data for the Mexican diet and dietary intake information obtained from a semi-food frequency questionnaire (SFFQ).
|
Baseline to post-intervention (approximately 12 weeks)
|
|
