Modern epidemiology suggests a potential interactive association between diet, lifestyle,
genetics and the risk of many chronic diseases. As such, many epidemiologic studies …

Objective: To illustrate biomarkers of diet that can be used to validate estimates of dietary
intake in the study of gene–environment interactions in complex diseases. Design …

AIMS: Dietary intake is a critical environmental exposure when considering the effect of
many genetic factors on disease risk. However, dietary intake is a complex and changing …

The subjective nature of self-reported dietary intake assessment methods presents
numerous challenges to obtaining accurate dietary intake and nutritional status. This …

The accurate assessment of dietary exposure is important in investigating associations
between diet and disease. Research in nutritional epidemiology, which has resulted in a …

Current nutritional and genetic epidemiological methods yield 'risk factors' on the basis of
population studies. Risk factors, however, are statistical estimates of the percentage …

The application of metabolomics in nutrition epidemiology holds great promise and there is
a high expectation that it will play a leading role in deciphering the interactions between diet …

Differences in diet appear to contribute substantially to the burden of disease in populations,
and therefore changes in diet could lead to major improvements in public health. This is …

Genetic variation is known to affect food tolerances among human subpopulations and may
also influence dietary requirements, giving rise to the new field of nutritional genomics and …

One of the main problems in nutritional epidemiology is to assess food intake as well as
nutrient/food component intake to a high level of validity and reliability. To help in this …
