Populations

Populations are groups of human individuals that are the scope of exposure or risk assessments. Optional descriptors of populations are location (e.g. a country), time period (with a start and end date), age range (with a minimum and maximum age) and gender. Example: the French population in 2005-2007 (= time period) of women (= gender) of child-bearing age 18-45 yr (= age range).

Populations as data

Populations are provided as data. When the population of interest is explicitly defined, subset selections are based on the data in the IndividualProperties and PopulationIndividualPropertyValues table.

Calculation of populations

Populations are implicitly defined by the individuals as used in the dietary consumption module and/or the non-dietary module and/or the human based monitoring module.
