Validation Of A Food Frequency Questionnaire To Assess Macro And Micro-Nutrient Intake Among South Asians In The United Kingdom, Leena Sevak, Punam Mangtani, Valerie Mccormack, Dee Bhakta, Tashmin Khamis, Isabel Dos Santos Silva

Faculty of Health Sciences, East Africa

Risk of diseases such as CHD, NIDDM is high in South Asians and risk of cancer low in this population compared both to the native UK population and other migrant groups.
