STROBE
The STROBE-nut extension
The STROBE-nut extension
STROBE-nut is an extension of the STROBE statement that provides guidance for transparent, consistent, and complete reporting of research in nutritional epidemiology. The checklist supports researchers in presenting essential methodological and analytical details when studying nutritional epidemiology.
The purpose of STROBE-nut is to:
- offer a structured checklist that improves the completeness and clarity of reporting in nutritional epidemiology
- help authors present their study design, methods, and results in a transparent and reproducible way
- assist reviewers, editors, and readers in assessing the quality and interpretability of published research
Why STROBE-nut is important
Reporting quality in nutritional epidemiology varies and often lacks important details. Incomplete descriptions of dietary assessment, study design, or analytical procedures can limit how results are interpreted, compared, or used in systematic reviews.
STROBE-nut provides guidance on which elements should be included to strengthen the reliability and usefulness of scientific publications in this field.
