National Diet and Nutrition Survey: Adults Aged 19 to 64 Years
- Abstract
-
The National Diet and Nutrition Survey is a national dietary survey jointly funded by the FSA and the DH. The NDNS was previously a series of cross-sectional surveys but in April 2008 it changed to a rolling programme with data collected annually. This survey, of a national sample of young people aged 19 to 64 years, is one of a programme of national surveys with the aim of gathering information about the dietary habits and nutritional status of the British population. There are two groups of datasets included in the study: primary datasets containing data in the format originally collected, and derived datasets. The primary data includes dietary data from the food diary at four levels: person level, day level (seven days were collected per diary), container level (this is a group of foods consumed together at the same serving) and food item level. The derived datasets provided include average nutrient intake.
