Class Description |
Over-nutrition and under-nutrition are the leading contributors to illness, disability, and death worldwide. Rapidly changing patterns of poor nutrition have increased demand for methods to assess nutritional status in research settings. We'll introduce nutrition biomarkers relevant to population research, including a few methods newly available in the Biodemography Lab, and discuss some recent population-level studies using biomarkers to improve understanding of the relationship between nutrition and health, and the growing potential for exchange between nutrition and social science research.
