Course Objectives:	The scope of the course is to explain the effect of the hereditary structure of the individual on the determination of nutritional habits, to stay away from the diseases to which he is genetically predisposed as much as possible and to evaluate the importance and effect of nutrition in order to ensure a high quality of life.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. will be able to interpret the relationship between genetic factors and nutrition.
2. Will be able to develop recommendations for nutrient consumption to increase the expression of genes associated with diseases.
3. will be able to compare genetic diversity-ethnic differences in nutrition.
