| Summary: | Epidemiological methods are increasingly used to assess the role of
genetic factors and their interaction with environmental factors, in the occurrence of diseases
in populations. Nutrition is one of the most relevant components of the interaction between the
human being and the environment. Therefore, the interaction between susceptibility genotypes
and nutritional risk factors has a great importance in the study of several chronic diseases. The
aim of this article is to review different epidemiologic study designs and basic methods of
analysis commonly used in the evaluation of the interaction between nutritional and genetic
factors. These study designs and analytical methods are equally valid for the assessment of
genotype-environment or genotype-genotype interactions |
