Laboratory Overview
About the Laboratory of Public Nutrition
In my laboratory, we study the relationship between dietary habits and health promotion/disease prevention using nutritional epidemiological methods on various participants—including infants, adolescents, pregnant and nursing mothers, and older adults—in Japan and other Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand and Laos. We also investigate ways to evaluate dietary habits for each participant and life stage.Profile of Minatsu Kobayashi
