Component Description

 
The Diet Behavior and Nutrition (DBQ) section provides personal interview data on several nutrition topics. Many of the questions in the NHANES 1999 DBQ section were included in NHANES II, 1976-80, Hispanic HANES 1982-84, and NHANES III, 1988-94. There are different target age groups for the topics in this section. For example, the questions pertaining to infant nutrition and breast-feeding were asked of proxy respondents for children 6 years of age and younger; alcohol consumption frequency questions were asked of persons 20+ years of age; and senior meal program participation questions were asked of respondents 60+ years of age. Data users should review the survey questionnaire thoroughly to determine the appropriate population targeted for each topic.

Topics and the target population groups in the DBQ section:

Eligible Sample

The target age groups for questions in this section vary. Please review the questionnaire and codebook carefully.

Data Processing and Editing

Edit decisions were made to ensure the completeness, consistency, and analytic usefulness of the data. Systematic data editing was conducted to:

The following three questions were not included in the Survey until the beginning of 2000. To ensure consistent sample sizes across questionnaire components, these questions were not included in the NHANES 1999-2000 Public Data Release File.

Analytic Notes

Special Notes on Using the Dataset

In this section, frequency of alcohol consumption during the past 30 days was collected for participants aged 20 years and older by alcohol type. There is additional information on alcohol use in the Survey, including: 1) 24-hour dietary recall data on alcohol consumption which can be used to quantify the contribution of alcohol to total food energy intake and produce population reference data on alcohol intake; 2) MEC interview data on quantifiable current alcohol use and life time drinking behavior for adults aged 20 years and above; and 3) MEC Audio-CASI data on alcohol use in adolescents aged 12-19 years old. Please refer to the documentation and codebooks for these sections for data analysis.
