Nutritional Health and Epidemiology

Nutritional epidemiology is a relatively recent medical research area that explores the relationship between health and diet. Both diet and physical activity are very difficult to reliably quantify, which can, to some degree, explain why nutrition has received less attention in epidemiology than other risk factors for disease. It also examines the role of nutrition in disease aetiology, monitors the population's nutritional status, develops and evaluates measures to achieve and maintain healthy eating patterns. The relationship and synergy between physical activity in health and disease and nutrition is also examined amongst populations.
