Epidemiologists utilize various methodologies to study the relationship between dietary fat intake and health outcomes. These include:
Cohort Studies: Following a group of individuals over time to observe how dietary habits, including fat intake, affect health outcomes. Case-Control Studies: Comparing individuals with a specific health condition to those without, to identify differences in dietary fat consumption. Cross-Sectional Studies: Assessing dietary habits and health outcomes at a single point in time to identify potential associations. Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs): Assigning participants to different dietary interventions to determine causal effects of dietary fat on health.
