YSPH Biostatistics: Colin White Memorial Lecture: "Nutrition is Important, A Statistical View”

SPEAKER: Raymond Carroll, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Statistics and Faculty of Nutrition at the Texas A&M University.

TITLE: "Nutrition is Important, A Statistical View”

ABSTRACT: I am a hard-core statistician, not a nutritionist. I have worked on statistical aspects of nutritional science for many years. I have had the benefit of working with brilliant minds in basic science, epidemiology and of course Statistics. This has included stops in nutritional basic science, nutritional epidemiology, observational studies and nutritional surveillance. In this informal, non-mathematical talk, I will discuss these aspects and give my own comments on such things as the nutritional bullets (kale, anyone?) that we see in newspapers on a regular basis, and the highly multivariate and complex nature of nutritional intakes.
