Nutrition Epidemiology: Understanding the Relationship between Diet and Health

Suzzanne Russlle

Nutrition is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle, and an unhealthy diet can increase the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Nutrition epidemiology is a branch of epidemiology that focuses on studying the relationship between diet and health outcomes. This field plays a critical role in identifying dietary factors that contribute to disease and in developing interventions to improve dietary habits.
