Students will be made familiar with epidemiological methods, their advantages and limitations, their importance for the prevention of nutrition-related diseases and their capability to support nutrition counselling.
Examination topics
(1) Lecture presenting epidemiological essentials,
(2) access to a manuscript and presented figures via Moodle prior to the lecture,
(3) participation of the audience in discussing important issues.

(1) history of epidemiology, especially of nutritional aspects,
(2) aims and basic definitions (prospective vs. retrospective approach; observational vs. experimental design),
(3) the concept of risk,
(4) different types of epidemiological studies (case, cross-sectional, case-control, cohort, intervention studies: aim, design, advantages/disadvantages),
(5) estimates of outcome (mortality, incidence, prevalence),
(6) significance and relevance,
(7) systematic (bias, confounder) and random errors (occurrence, limiting, treatment),
(8) causation and evidence.Specific aspects of applying epidemiological methods in nutritional science are discussed using recently published studies. Therefore, students are expected to be informed about dietary assessment, anthropometric methods and measuring physical activity and energy expenditure.
