Ayurvedska medicina je priznata od strane Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije, a usporedba principa suvremene znanosti o prehrani i ayurvedskih principa pokazuje određene podudarnosti. Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio ispitati korelaciju prehrambenih navika i tjelesne konstitucije ispitanika prema principima ayurvede. Podaci o tjelesnoj konstituciji (prakriti) dobiveni su ispunjavanjem testa za doshe, dok su podaci o prehrani prikupljeni upitnikom o učestalosti konzumiranja te posebno razvijenim upitnikom za prehrambene navike. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 210 odraslih ispitanika (38,6 % muškaraca, 61,4 % žena). Od ukupnog broja ispitanika, 131 (62,38 %) imaju uravnoteženu tjelesnu konstituciju, dok njih 79 (37, 62 %) ima uneravnoteženu konstituciju. Za kapha tjelesnu konstituciju, rezultati su pokazali povezanost prehrambenih navika i konstitucije. Kod uneravnoteženih tjelesnih konstitucija, povezanost je uočena samo kod pitta neravnoteže i njezinih prehrambenih navika.; Ayurvedic medicine is recognized by the World Health Organization, while comparing the principles of modern nutrition and ayurvedic principles shows some correlations.
