Better Methods for Assessing Dietary Intake

健康的食物被认为对预防成人生活中的许多疾病很重要，包括癌症和心脏病。然而，由于测量日常饮食的困难，很少有明确的联系被确立，因此可以将其与晚年生活中这些疾病的发展或预防联系起来。我们建议建立一个简单易用但准确的饮食测量系统的基本方法模型，该系统可用于评估我们所吃的食物与这些疾病易感性之间的关系的研究。

Healthy food is thought to be important in preventing many diseases of adult life, including cancer and heart disease. However, few definite links have been established due to the difficulties of measuring usual diet so that this can be linked to the development or protection from such diseases in later life. We propose to model underlying methods for an easy to use but accurate system of measuring diet which can be used in studies assessing the relationship between the food we eat and susceptibility to these diseases.
