Adherence to Meat-Free Diets and Micronutrient Deficiency Ri…

the file named pdf Adherence to meat-free diets… is the project proposal I have done for this dissertation. it was marked, and it has comments to it-

Literature review

An improved literature summary containing some

key points. Some good

awareness of the

topic, but there are sections that lack detail and specificity e.g. all adults and all meet-free diets will present a lot of variability/heterogeneity – may be beneficial to funnel to a specific micronutrient (or 2) deficiency in a specific demographic of the population e.g. Iron deficiency (and anaemia) in females from adolescence to post-menopause following a vegan diet.

Hypothesis/research question

Question lacks a little further clarity and detail e.g. evidence of a deficiency & specific diet(s) would be beneficial. As well as clarity why you’re not looking at Vit B12.

Aims and Objectives

Aims are stated and are clear. Objectives are also included. However, detail is lacking in places e.g. why not Vegan & B12? and may not be achievable in the timescale i.e. there are too many – beneficial to narrow your variables.

Experimental design

A good attempt at the design and analysis, but some missing detail – Data analysis is covered but could be expanded upon e.g. how and what is going to be used to analyse the data.

Ethics cert mentioned, but not included – appendix or at least the cert number.

Time plan

The time plan is included and is appropriate but more detail is needed e.g. you mention synthesis analysis here, but not above?

Presentation

Generally a good presentation of the text. However, supporting evidence is missing in places and lacks some cohesion between some statements and sections. Writing style is good but links to literature are missed in part.

Reference/citations mainly in the correct referencing style.

do not forget to include the PRISMA flowchart
