About
This dataset provides detailed insights into the average daily nutrient intake from foods and beverages among different demographic groups in the United States, based on data collected by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). It is a valuable resource for understanding nutritional trends, dietary disparities, and public health nutrition across population segments over time.
Dataset Features
- Survey Years: The time period during which the dietary data was collected (e.g., 1999–2000).
- Sex: Gender of the survey population (e.g., All, Male, Female).
- Age Group: Age range of the surveyed individuals (e.g., 2–5 years, 6–11 years, 12–19 years).
- Race and Hispanic Origin: Demographic classification including Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and others.
- Nutrient: Specific nutrient measured (e.g., Calcium, Iron, Vitamin D).
- Mean: Average daily intake of the nutrient (in mg or relevant units).
- Standard Error: The standard error of the mean estimate.
- Lower 95% CI Limit: Lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for the mean intake.
- Upper 95% CI Limit: Upper bound of the 95% confidence interval.
- Note1 - Noteb: Additional notes or flags regarding data quality or demographic limitations.
Distribution
- Data Format: CSV
- Data Volume: Approx. 40,000+ rows × 10+ columns depending on the number of survey years and nutrients.
