Rationale

Data

The data contains:

a) Main food groups (ingredient level, classification used in EPIC)

b) Nutrients

c) Nutrient supplements

d) Fish and other seafood by species

Age groups are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4-5, 6-9, 10-13, 14-17, 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64,

The data here is generated from the DIPP study, a Type 1 Diabetes Prediction and Prevention (DIPP) project in Finland, where the cohort of 5993 children (77 % of those invited) participated in the main study, and 117 randomly selected infants in the validation study. ^[1] ^[2] This was carried out in the university hospitals of Turku, Tampere and Oulu.^[3]
