We are pleased to share the findings of the study published in February 2026, examining macro and micronutrient intakes in the Sri Lankan twin cohort: validation of subjective biomarkers from the Colombo Twin and Singleton Study -3 (CoTaSS – 3).

These findings come from a study carried out at a critical time (2020 – 2023), as Sri Lanka was navigating the aftermath of a severe economic crisis that had directly impacted food security and dietary quality.

The study offers evidence-based insights for public health policymakers to revisit dietary guidelines, promote greater dietary diversity, and institutionalize routine nutritional assessments across the country, during the current global crisis due to war.
