ANSWERS
CHIS - ANSWER-statewide phone survey conducted through UCLA every 2 years.
date on children, youth and adults. covers many health topics

market basket study: measures nutrients and contaminants
food label & package supple: checks for accuracy of nutritional labels
food disappearance data: study of what is left in national food supple after exports
and non-human consumption uses
What is NHANES? How is it performed? How many peeps? Importance? -
ANSWER-Stands for National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
It is a continuing survey to assess health and nutritional status of adults and kids i
US such as:
-prevalence of disease
-disease risk factors
-nutritional status
-national health standards (height, weight, bp)
Performed with interviews and physical examinations (lab tests)
~5,000 peoples/year
Used for worldwide epidemiological studies....raise awareness
Three types of dietary data - ANSWER--dietary behavior/food diary
-24-hour recalls
-food frequency questionnaire
MEC - ANSWER-mobile examination center for NHANES data collection (literally 4
trailers connected with all equipment needed)
Data collection in MEC - ANSWER-physical exam
dental exam
blood/urine samples
interview (diet behaviors [water intake, meal and snack patterns, beastfeeding
practices], drug use, mental health, food security [income, food assistance
programs], dietary supplement use [told to bring containers to interview])
,Dietary Behaviors measured for NHANES - ANSWER-water intake, meal and snack
patterns, breastfeeding practices, weight control practices, eating-out habits, use of
special diets
Food security assessments measured for NHANES - ANSWER-household income,
household food security, individual food security, food assistance programs
Dietary supplement use for NHANES - ANSWER-vitamins, minerals, herbal
supplements, told to bring containers to interview
Anthropometric data used for NHANES - ANSWER-height, weight, head
circumference for 0-6 months, mid-upper arm circumference, skinfold thickness
Biochemical data used for NHANES - ANSWER-blood lipid, blood glucose, vitamin
and mineral status, blood albumin
Dietary intake interview used for NHANES - ANSWER-FFQ (food frequency
questionnaire) and 2 24-hr recalls
24-hr recalls:
Day one is conducted in person
Day 2 is conducted over the phone 3-10 days after
underreporting common especially in overweight/obese
underrreporting in energy intake by 15-20% usually, and a studied showed with
more-informed individuals on serving sizes etc in women that they still underreported
by 5%
strengths in FFQs:
-respondent burden is low
-usual intake estimated with one administraion
-low administrative costs
limitations of FFQs:
-prone to bias
-literacy required
-basic questionnaire, not much detail in terms of food prep methods
AMPM - ANSWER-automated multiple-pass method
a software program used to systematically collect data about dietary intake in effort
to collect more complete and accurate food recalls
AMPM 5 steps for dietary recalls - ANSWER--quick list
-forgotten foods
-time and occassion
-food details
-final review
, DRIs - ANSWER-Stands for Dietary Reference Intake
it is national standard related to nutrient needs
data collected from NHANES is compared to these national standards
Definition: sysyem of nutrition recommendations from FNB and IOM
Composed of estimated average requirement (EAR), recommended dietary
allowance (RDA), adequate intake (AI) and tolerable uptake intake level (UL)
** more on this in following flashcards
EAR *not on study guide - ANSWER-estimated average requirement
reference population mean @ 50% of population
RDA *not on study guide - ANSWER-recommended dietary allowance
daily dietary intake level of nutrient considered sufficient by FNB to meet
requirements of nearly all (97-98%) healthy individuals in each life stage and gender
group
2 standard deviations from EAR
AI *not on study guide - ANSWER-adequate intake
UL *not on study guide - ANSWER-tolerable upper intake level
Daily Value - ANSWER-recommended value of nutrient listed on nutrition facts food
label
value based on average consumer with intake of 2,000kcals per dat
intake to promote health and prevent chronic disease
Dietary guidelines for Americans in 2015-2020 *released every 5 years by USDA
and DHHS - ANSWER-DGAs designed for health professionals to help people 2+
consume healthy, nutritionally adequate diet
used to develop federal food, nutrition and health policies/programs
evidence-bases nutritional guidance to help
-promote overall health
-reduce risk of chronis disease
-reduce prevalance of overweight/obesity
Key DGA recommendations - ANSWER-americans should consume healthy eating
pattern that accounts for all food and beverages within appropriate calorie level
