Health and nutrition

You are what you eat. It’s a saying with lots of meaning, because to a large extent our nutrition determines our health.

Exposure Assessment in Nutrition Research (3rd edition)

One of the main objectives of nutrition research is to provide scientific evidence for the role of diet in human health and disease. High quality dietary assessment methods and biomarkers are crucial to optimally design studies in this field. Nutrition research is often blamed for poor exposure assessment that might impair its usefulness. Therefore, studies that evaluate the validity of dietary assessment methods are important to allow proper inference from such studies. Consequently, researchers should master the concepts and principles underlying evaluation studies.
