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 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.
