- Summary:
- Abstract: The Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES) is a comprehensive report on the dietary intake of the U.S. population, aged 1-74 years. It provides data to support studies on primary and secondary malnutrition and to identify situations outside the normal range. Data cover dietary intake, blood and urine analysis, clinical information, and anthropometric measurements. Variables are defined by race, age, income and sex; the dietary intake of these subgroups is compared to the standards for calories, protein, calcium, iron, vitamins A and C, thiamine and riboflavin. Some of the results show that iron intake is below standard for children 1-3 and females 10-54; blacks in all groups have calcium intake lower than whites; black males have lower intake than white males of all nutrients except thiamine; and caloric intake is below standard for most subgroups. Discrepancies seem to be present in assessing the adequacy of calories and iron. Physiological tests indicate different results, especially in light of the fact that obesity affects a sizeable portion of the population.
