“Dietary assessment and biomarkers of intake and health”
Course content of the course
The course will encompass lectures and practical work focused on various issues related to dietary assessments and calculations. On the first day, students will be introduced to novel, digital dietary assessment methodologies and will have the opportunity to test these tools hands-on. Day two will provide a comprehensive presentation on the assessment of sustainable diets. On the third day, the course will delve into energy adjustments and substitution models for nutritional studies. The last day of the course will focus on use of metabolomics in human dietary intervention studies. The students will be introduced to metabolomics and how this methodology can be used to identify novel biomarkers of dietary intake and understanding metabolic effects of diet. The course scope is equivalent to 2 ECTS.
Learning outcome
The candidates gain competence in dietary assessment methods and calculations in nutrition research, encompassing both current and future approaches. They will acquire knowledge about the strengths and limitations of these methods. The course aims to equip students with critical skills needed to evaluate the robustness of data based on chosen method.
