| Adequate preventive measures and interventions on population level require not only the identification of groups which run a clearly higher risk of suffering health damages, but also involve an insight in the prevalence and in determinants of risky behaviour in the entire population. An important part of the research within this domain is focused on registering nutritional patterns. Next to this, psychobiological research is performed on eating behaviour especially with respect to obesity and extreme environmental circumstances. The development and the validation of methods of measuring and evaluation studies of interventions in risky eating behaviour are especially investigated. |
