Nutrition   Our nutritional research increases our knowledge of healthy dietary habits and contributes to the prevention of diet-related diseases.  We focus on the effects of known nutrients and the effects of new, potentially healthy substances in food. We also examine the makeup of basic nutrients in diets, conduct large-scale representative surveys of Danish dietary habits and measure the effect of dietary interventions.  Read more about our areas of research, current projects and researchers:   Biomarkers for nutrient and food intake Diet and health in the elderly Dietary habits, nutrient intake, and physical activity Dietary interventions    Food-based interventions    Nutrient-based interventions Food and nutrient recommendations Food composition databases Metabolomics Nutrient in foods    Bioactive compounds    Macronutrients     Minerals    Vitamins Nutrigenomics										Contact Director of institute Henrik C.
