Epidemiology nutritional studies

The study of nutritional epidemiology allows to determine the role of the diet in the appearance and development of diseases in the population.

Nutrition epidemiology is the study of the connection between diet and health from a population perspective, that is, the amount of individuals who present a certain disorder (prevalence) and the frequency of occurrence of new cases (incidence). The nutritional analysis of diet and the study of eating habits and other health-related phenomena, such as physical, biological, social or cultural factors, allow more effective preventive and health promotion interventions.
