Nutrient Adequacy : Assessment Using Food Consumption Surveys by Coordinating Committee on Evaluation of Food Consumption Surveys, Life Sciences Symposium Staff, National Research Council Staff, Food and Nutrition Board and Subcommittee on Criteria for Dietary Evaluation (1986, Trade Paperback)
Just how accurately can adequate nutrient intake be measured? Do food consumption surveys really reflect the national diet? This book includes a brief history of dietary surveys, and an analysis of the basis of dietary evaluation and its relationship to recommended dietary allowances. A discussion of how usual dietary intake may be estimated from survey data, a recommended approach to dietary analysis, and an application of the analysis method is presented. Further, an examination of the impact of technical errors, the results of confidence interval calculations, and a summary of the subcommittee's recommendations conclude the volume.
