The Committee on Balancing Food & Activity for Health sought to define the state of the science and identify research gaps with regard to balancing food and activity for health.

Why is this important?

Obesity is a major public health concern in the United States and around the world, with over 72 million individuals in the United States considered obese. Creating a unified, successful obesity reduction strategy relies on understanding the underlying causes of obesity.

Committee Selects Researcher to Estimate Energy Intake using Personal Devices

			Share Save Technology Innovations in Dietary Intake and Physical Activity Assessment: Challenges and Recommendations for Future Directions
		
Dietary intake (DI) and physical activity (PA) data are used in a variety of ways, including to determine nutrient adequacy and deficiency; to assess nutritional, fitness, and health status; to develop health promotion and behavioral interventions; and to understand food chemical and microbiological exposure, food–drug interactions, and pharmacokinetic effects. Methods used to capture these data must therefore be reliable and accurate to ensure confidence when determining quantitative DI and energy intake (EI), food behaviors, and energy expenditure (EE), especially for real-time monitoring and interventions. Moreover, because the underlying pathways and mechanisms regulating energy homeostasis are not fully understood, improved measures can help address challenges in understanding interrelationships between DI and PA.
