NCT05438966 | Completed

• Study Type: observational
• Target: 833
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

There is objective need to examine nutritional status (i.e., body mass index (BMI), body composition and dietary intake) of healthy adult Slovenes after SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) epidemic period. In the Slovenian (pair of European Union) adult population (with only 2 million inhabitants), we do not yet have representative data on the body composition of adult Slovenes published in the scientific literature. In the study after the Covid-19 pandemic period (4th wave) the investigators will use medically approved body analyzer (Tanita 780 S MA, Tokyo, Japan) and standardized food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). In addition, the investigators will measured body height of the participants with a portable altimeter (ADE MZ10042, Germany). The research will include randomly recruited adults (participants) who will attend various free or/and paid publicly available seminars, congresses and fairs in Slovenia, directly unrelated topics to physical activity or healthy eating (i.e., healthy and active lifestyle) thus obtaining a more realistic current population status.
