A study was conducted to assess the knowledge of nutrition of 184 family practitioners and general internists and 24 first- and second-year medical students before they had received medical school instruction in clinical nutrition. Overall, the physicians answered 69.2% of the questions correctly, a significantly better score than that of the medical students (62.5%, p = .0065). The physicians scored better on topics that have been the most heavily researched (such as diet and coronary heart disease) and worse on less heavily investigated topics (such as diet and cancer, iron absorption). There was no significant difference in overall knowledge in terms of gender or practice. However, a significant negative correlation was found between the number of years since graduation from medical school and respondents' knowledge about nutrition.
一项研究旨在评估184名家庭医生和普通内科医生以及24名医学一、二年级学生在接受医学院临床营养教学之前的营养知识。总体而言，医生正确回答了69.2%的问题，得分显著高于医学生（62.5%，p = 0.0065）。医生在研究最多的主题（如饮食与冠心病）上得分更高，而在研究较少的主题（如饮食与癌症、铁吸收）上得分更低。在总体知识方面，性别或执业情况没有显著差异。然而，发现自医学院毕业以来的年数与受访者的营养知识之间存在显著的负相关。
