Data Collection Event

CaG - Nutrition - 2024

NutriQuébec is the largest nutrition and population health study ever conducted in Quebec. NutriQuébec collects information on a wide range of health-related factors from thousands of Quebec residents over an extended period of time in order to understand how dietary habits and lifestyle behaviours affect their health. This study will help identify factors associated with social inequalities that influence the relationships between lifestyle habits and health, and will support the development of intervention targets for at-risk populations. Participants are followed annually. The NutriQuébec questionnaire has collected information on sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, health status, quality of life, and anthropometric measures. Participants were also invited to complete two 24-hour dietary recalls.
