Course Description

Nutritional Epidemiology studies the relationship between diet and health outcomes in populations. It uses research methods like surveys and data analysis to understand how nutrition affects disease risk. The goal is to provide evidence for dietary guidelines and public health policies. The field combines nutrition science with public health research to improve population health.

No prior knowledge is required, although a background in biological sciences or medicine may help understand the topics in health.
