A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Nutritional epidemiology

Nutritional epidemiology is the branch of public health that studies the relationship between diet and disease in populations. Mastering its core ideas—study designs, measures of association, bias and confounding, and interpretation of findings—enables students to critically evaluate research evidence and apply it to nutrition policy and practice.
