内容説明

This reference manual on the different methods of measuring dietary intake either in individuals or in groups of people in differing studies and under a variety of conditions, is the result of co-operation between the International Union of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS) and a working group established within the framework of EURO-NUT, the Concerted Action Programme on Diet and Health of the Commission of the European Communities. Research in this area is increasing, especially amongst people with interests in basic biomedical sciences, internal medicine, dietetics, epidemiology and public policy at national and international levels. This manual, intended for international use, aims to set out all the necessary stages from deciding on the purpose of the study, through its design, to collection of data, analyses, interpretation and finally the presentation of results in a form suitable for the specific study and any decision-making. The work is intended to be used during the planning and execution of research and in teaching students techniques for the measurement of food intake. It is designed to be of value to nutritionists, health policy makers, public health specialists and Eurocrats.
