Book Club “Nutritional Epidemiology"
Ziele
At the end of this course, participants shall be able to:
- Describe different dietary assessment methods for different research aims and explain their strengths & limitations, and feasibility issues.
- Interpret dietary data analysed with different statistical approaches typically applied to nutritional epidemiology studies.
- Evaluate research on dietary exposures and health outcomes, considering issues of exposure measurement, bias, and quality of evidence.
Inhalte
We will follow the third edition of the book “Nutritional Epidemiology” by Water Willett, pioneer of the field, which provides an overview of research strategies in nutritional epidemiology. We will focus on the methods of dietary assessment, reproducibility and validity of each approach, implications of measurement error as well as the analysis, presentation, and interpretation of data from epidemiologic studies of diet and disease. The readings of the selected book chapters will be complemented with scientific articles to discuss how these issues are applied in current research in the field.
