Definition

An empirically observed relationship between habitual dietary exposures (patterns, foods, nutrients, or intake levels) and a specified disease outcome in a defined population, expressed as a statistical association or a claim of causation; such relationships require explicit characterization of exposure, outcome, population, study design, and potential confounding or bias.
