Handbook

This course explores how diet, physical activity and body composition is measured and assessed, and develops the concepts taught in DIET2001 Nutrition for Health Professionals 1. You will learn to identify which assessment tools are suitable for different settings, how to apply them, the potential sources of error, how these impact on validity and usefulness, and how some errors may be corrected or minimised. You will learn how to critique the methods, understand how and why they are applied in practice and in research, and how to make recommendations that are sustainable and feasible for the client.
