How Are Nutritional Epidemiological Studies Conducted?
Nutritional epidemiological studies are conducted using various methods, including cohort studies, case-control studies, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Cohort studies follow a group of individuals over time to examine the association between their diet and health outcomes. Case-control studies compare the dietary habits of individuals with a specific disease to those without the disease. RCTs are experimental studies that assess the effects of specific dietary interventions on health outcomes.
