Concept information
Preferred term
nutritional epidemiology
Definition
- Although observations on relationships between diet and health have always been recognized, the systematic science of nutritional epidemiology in populations is relatively recent. Important observations propelling the field of nutrition forward were numerous in the 18th and 19th centuries, as it was recognized that deficiencies in certain classes of foods led to important diseases such as scurvy, rickets, pellagra, and beriberi.
