Content A. Methods of evaluation of nutritional status (anthropometry, impedance…) and energy intake and expenditure (food questionnaire ; indirect calorimetry ; biochemical approach…). B. Follow-up of nutrients metabolism : carbohydrates (digestible/non digestible) ; lipids ; proteins ; ethanol ; minerals and oligoelements ; phytochemicals; Implication in the control of obesity and metabolic syndrome (including diabetes and CHD), cancer, infection/inflammation... C. Mechanisms and consequences of drug-nutrients interactions D.

Recent knowledge in Nutrition : will be based on the comparison of data recently published in scientific papers versus information largely diffused (press and internet).
