The Nutritional Epidemiology for Population Health (NEPoH) Laboratory at UBC is where big data analytics and nutritional epidemiology intersect to inform nutrition policy and guidelines for healthier populations.
We are located in the newly-established Nutritional Epidemiology and Big Data Analytics (NEBA) laboratory at the Faculty of Land and Food Systems, University of British Columbia. Our vision is to provide evidence-based policy tools for informing national nutrition policies and guidelines, with the goal of reducing the diet-related burden of non-communicable diseases and associated healthcare use.

Maintaining a healthy diet promotes overall health and wellbeing. How does your dietary pattern compare to guidelines?
The Dietary Pattern Calculator is a screening tool that provides users with an evidence-based evaluation of the overall healthfulness of their diet. It is a quick and robust assessment of diet quality that focuses on 9 food groups that characterize healthy dietary patterns in Canada, and provides users with an immediate and personalized dietary score and feedback.’
