[QUOTE="smithsj1, post: 2493321, member: 533799"] I wouldn't have thought that any nutrition study based on the UK Biobank data would be anything but very weak. Their diet data is collected from online questionnaires. From their website: [I]"UK Biobank participants have generously provided a very wide range of information about their health and well-being since recruitment began in 2006. This has been added to in the following ways:......[/I] [I][URL='https://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/enable-your-research/about-our-data/questionnaire-data']Online questionnaires[/URL]: Data on a range of exposures and health outcomes that are difficult to assess via routine health records, including diet, food preferences, work history, pain, cognitive function, digestive health and mental health. " [/I] If you have a questionnaire to fill in with how much of x or y you ate and drank in the last year it's going to be pretty tricky to get anything like an accurate response so pretty unlikely to get good quality data IMO. I would say that the data that they collect using MR imaging, genetics, biomarkers and samples may be of more interest but everytime I see a study in the press about diets that say it is derived from the UK Biobank I just don't bother to read it.
