Component Description

The objective of the dietary interview component is to obtain detailed dietary intake information from NHANES participants. The dietary intake data are used to estimate the types and amounts of foods and beverages (including all types of water) consumed during the 24-hour period prior to the interview (midnight to midnight), and to estimate intakes of energy, nutrients, and other food components from those foods and beverages. Following the dietary recall, participants are asked questions on salt use, whether the person’s overall intake on the previous day was much more than usual, usual or much less than usual, and whether the respondent is on any type of special diet. Questions on frequency of fish and shellfish consumed during the past 30 days were asked of survey participants 1 year or older, with the use of proxies for young children (see the MEC In-Person Dietary Interviewers Procedures Manual for more information on the proxy interview).

The dietary interview component, called What We Eat in America (WWEIA), is conducted as a partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Under this partnership, DHHS' National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) is responsible for the survey sample design and all aspects of data collection and USDA’s Food Surveys Research Group (FSRG) is responsible for the dietary data collection methodology, maintenance of the databases used to code and process the data, and data review and processing.

All NHANES participants are eligible for two 24-hour dietary recall interviews. The first dietary recall interview is collected in-person in the Mobile Examination Center (MEC) and the second interview is collected by telephone 3 to 10 days later.

As in previous years, two types of dietary intake data are available for the 2013-2014 survey cycle: Individual Foods files and Total Nutrient Intakes files.

What's New with the 2013-2014 WWEIA Release:

In the Individual Foods files, 2 response options regarding where each food/beverage was obtained were changed for clarification. The “Child care center” code was modified to “Child/Adult care center” and the “Family/Adult day care center" code was modified to “Child/Adult home care.”

In the Total Nutrient files, variables were added for 2 new questions asked in day 1 and day 2 about salt use at the table yesterday and the kind of salt used. These questions are in addition to the question that is asked in day 1 about usual salt use at the table and the kind of salt used.

Appendix 1 provides a summary of changes among the 5 latest cycles of data collection.

Dietary Interview Data Files: Four data files were produced from the information collected in the dietary interviews: two Individual Foods files and two Total Nutrient Intakes files. Each file includes one day of intake data. The number “1” or “2” in the file name identifies the day (and mode) of the interview: 1 = first day (in-person), 2 = second day (phone). File names are as follows:

File Names for Dietary Interview Data:
File Day 1 Day 2
Individual Foods File DR1IFF_H DR2IFF_H
Total Nutrient Intakes File DR1TOT_H DR2TOT_H

The amounts in these files reflect only nutrients obtained from foods, beverages, and water, including tap and bottled water. They do not include nutrients obtained from dietary supplement intakes, antacids, or medications. Data on intake of dietary supplement use are available on the NHANES 2013-2014 Dietary Data page.

Individual Foods Files (DR1IFF_H and DR2IFF_H): Detailed information about each food/beverage item (including the description, amount of, and nutrient content) reported by each participant is included in the Individual Foods files. The names for both Day 1 and Day 2 variables are listed in Appendix 2.

The Individual Foods files include, for each interview day, one record for each food/beverage consumed by a participant. Each record is uniquely numbered within a participant’s set of records and contains the information listed below:

Descriptions for the USDA FNDDS food codes are provided in the Food Code Description file (DRXFCD_H). The DRXFCD_H file includes abbreviated descriptions (up to 80 characters) and complete descriptions (up to 200 characters) associated with each USDA food code in the FNDDS 2013-2014. Appendix 4 provides SAS code examples that may be used to link the food code description to the Individual Foods file.

Total Nutrient Intakes Files (DR1TOT_H and DR2TOT_H): For each participant, daily total energy and nutrient intakes from foods and beverages, and whether the amount of food consumed was usual, much more than usual, or much less than usual, are included in the Total Nutrient Intakes files. The Day 1 file also includes information on salt use in cooking and at the table; whether the participant is currently on any kind of diet to lose weight or for another health-related reason and, if so, the type of diet; and information on frequency of fish and shellfish consumption for participants aged 1 or older. The names for both Day 1 and Day 2 variables are listed in Appendix 5.

The Total Nutrient Intakes files provide a summary record of total nutrient intakes for each individual. Each total intake record contains the following information:

Eligible Sample

All NHANES participants are eligible for the dietary interview component. However, only participants one year or older are eligible for the frequency of fish and shellfish consumption questions following the 24-hour recall.

Protocol and Procedure

The examination protocol and data collection methods are fully documented in the NHANES dietary interviewer procedures manuals (In-person interview: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhanes/2013-2014/manuals/2013_mec_in-person_dietary_interview-manual.pdfphone follow-up interview: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhanes/2013-2014/manuals/phone_follow-up_dietary_interviewers_manual.pdf).

Interviews were conducted for participants less than six years of age with a proxy (who was generally the person most knowledgeable about the participant’s intake). Interviews of children ages 6 to 8, were conducted with a proxy and the child present to assist in reporting intake information. Interviews of children ages 9-11, were conducted with the child and the assistance of a proxy familiar with the child’s intake. Participants 12 years or older answered for themselves. Dietary interviewers conducted interviews in English and Spanish. Translators were used to conduct interviews in other languages.

The in-person interview was conducted in a private room in the NHANES mobile examination center (MEC). A set of measuring guides (various glasses, bowls, mugs, bottles, household spoons, measuring cups and spoons, a ruler, thickness sticks, bean bags, and circles) was available in the MEC dietary interview room for the participant to use for reporting amounts of foods (NHANES Measuring Guides for the Dietary Recall Interview: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/measuring_guides_dri/measuringguides.htm). Upon completion of the in-person interview, participants were given measuring cups, spoons, a ruler, and a food model booklet, which contained two-dimensional drawings of the various measuring guides available in the MEC, to use for reporting food amounts during the telephone interview. Telephone dietary interviews were collected 3 to 10 days following the MEC dietary interview, but not on the same day of the week as the MEC interview. Any participant who did not have a telephone was given a toll-free number to call so that the recall could be conducted.

What We Eat in America data were collected using USDA's dietary data collection instrument, the Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM) (http://www.ars.usda.gov/ba/bhnrc/fsrg). The AMPM was designed to provide an efficient and accurate means of collecting intakes for large-scale national surveys. The AMPM is a fully computerized recall method that uses a 5-step interview outlined below:

  1. Quick List - Participant recalls all foods and beverages consumed the day before the interview (midnight to midnight).
  2. Forgotten Foods - Participant is asked about consumption of foods commonly forgotten during the Quick List step.
  3. Time and Occasion - Time and eating occasion are collected for each food.
  4. Detail Cycle - For each food, a detailed description, amount eaten, and additions to the food are collected. Eating occasions and times between eating occasions are reviewed to elicit forgotten foods.
  5. Final Probe - Additional foods not remembered earlier are collected.

The AMPM includes an extensive compilation of standardized food-specific questions and possible response options. Routing of questions is based on previous responses. The AMPM is updated for each 2-year collection of WWEIA to reflect the changing food supply and to address research needs from the data user community. Additional information about the AMPM is provided in Raper et al. (Raper et al., 2004).

The AMPM was validated in a large study and shown to be an effective method for collecting accurate group energy intake of adults. Completed in 2004, this extensive research project included 524 healthy, weight-stable volunteers, aged 30-69 years. The accuracy of the AMPM was evaluated by comparing reported energy intake (EI) to total energy expenditure (TEE) using the doubly labeled water technique (Moshfegh et al., 2008). Among the findings were that EI compared to TEE was under-reported by 11% overall, by less than 3% for normal weight subjects with body mass index (BMI) < 25 and 16% for overweight subjects with BMI ≥ 25.

Additional studies provide evidence that the AMPM accurately measures group energy intake. Blanton (Blanton et al., 2006) reported that EI was not significantly different from TEE for a sample of 20 adult females. Rumpler and colleagues found that mean EIs were accurately reported for a sample of 12 adult males (Rumpler et al., 2008).

Additional evidence for the accuracy of AMPM has been provided by analysis of the 24-hour urinary sodium data collected in the AMPM Validation Study, which suggest the AMPM is a valid measure for estimating mean sodium intake in adults. Dietary sodium intake calculated from 24-hour recall data of 465 subjects collected via AMPM was compared with sodium values from 24-hour urine collections measured during the same 24-hour period. The AMPM-derived mean dietary sodium estimates reflected over 90% of the biomarker-based estimates (Rhodes et al., 2013).

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

All dietary interviewers were required to complete an intensive one-week training course and to conduct supervised practice interviews before working independently in the field. Retraining sessions were conducted annually to reinforce the proper protocols and technique.

Interviewers were monitored throughout the data collection period. Monitoring consisted of the following:

Data Processing and Editing

Interview data files were sent electronically from the field and were imported into Survey Net, a computer-assisted food coding and data management system developed by USDA (Raper et al., 2004).

USDA's Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) 2013-2014 was used for processing the 2013-2014 intakes (http://www.ars.usda.gov/ba/bhnrc/fsrg). The FNDDS includes comprehensive information that can be used to code individual foods/beverages and portion sizes reported by participants and also includes nutrient values for calculating nutrient intakes. FNDDS nutrient values are updated for every 2-year WWEIA, NHANES release cycle. The basis for the nutrient values in FNDDS are detailed in the documentation for FNDDS 2013-2014 available at http://www.ars.usda.gov/nea/bhnrc/fsrg.

Coders were required to pass a certification test after the initial training. They were routinely monitored to ensure the quality and completeness of their work. Approximately 10 percent of the coder's work was randomly selected to be independently coded by another coder. Results from the two codings were compared and adjudicated, if necessary.

After intake data were coded, various types of reviews and quality assurance procedures were conducted by FSRG scientists to ensure the quality of the data. Examples of reviews include the following:

Analytic Notes

Each Individual Foods file (Day 1 and Day 2) is comprised of food records. For most participants, there are multiple records in each file. For each Total Nutrient Intakes file (Day 1 and Day 2) there is one record for each participant. These files can be linked with other NHANES files by the respondent sequence number (SEQN).

Variable names: For data collected on both Day 1 and Day 2, variable names are differentiated by having the number "1" or "2" in the third position of the variable name to identify the collection day. For example, the USDA food code variable (in the Individual Foods File), which identifies the food reported by the participant, is named DR1IFDCD in the Day 1 file and DR2IFDCD in the Day 2 file. Appendices 2 and 5 list the Day 1 and Day 2 variable names for the Individual Foods file and the Total Nutrient Intakes file, respectively.

Names for the following variables are the same for both days in the Individual Foods file and the Total Nutrient Intakes file:

Variables with the Same Name for Both Days in the Dietary Interview Files
Day 1 and Day 2 variable name Label
SEQN Respondent sequence number
WTDRD1 Dietary day one sample weight
WTDR2D Dietary two-day sample weight
DRABF Breast-fed infant (either day)
DRDINT Number of days of intake

Number of days of intake: A variable has been included to indicate the number of days of intake collected from each participant. The variable name is DRDINT. In 2013-2014, 8,661 participants provided complete dietary intakes for Day 1. Of those providing the Day 1 data, 7,574 provided complete dietary intakes for Day 2.

Dietary recall status code: A status code (DR1DRSTZ or DR2DRSTZ) is used in both the Individual Foods and Total Nutrient Intakes files to indicate the quality and completeness of a survey participant's response to the dietary recall section. The codes are the following:

1 = Reliable and met the following minimum criteria:

For individuals with a code 1, all relevant variables associated with the 24-hour dietary recall contain a value.

2 = Not reliable or did not meet the minimum criteria

Individuals with a code 2 have incomplete records. No data on total nutrient intakes and the total number of foods reported are provided for these cases. These individuals have no records in the Individual Foods files.

3     [Code 3 is not included in the current datasets. It was only used for data from the 1999-2000 survey cycle.]

4 = Reported consuming breast milk

For infants and children who consumed human milk, there is a record in the Individual Foods files for each report of human milk. However, because amounts of human milk intake are not quantified, these records contain missing values for the amount consumed and for the amounts of energy and nutrients from human milk. Also, records of human milk have a missing value for the food source variable (DR1FS, DR2FS) and the eaten at home variable (DR1_040Z, DR2_040Z) in the Individual Foods files. Records for any other foods and beverages consumed by breast-fed infants and children are included in the Individual Foods files along with their amounts and nutrient information. Because of the missing amount or quantity information for human milk, no total nutrient intakes (contained in the Total Nutrient Intakes files) were computed for participants with a code 4.

A variable that identifies breast-fed children, DRABF, is included. This variable has a code of 1 if a child consumed human milk in either intake day.

5 = Not done

This code is assigned when the dietary recall section of the interview did not take place due to various reasons (such as arrived late/left early, refusal, illness, emergency, or equipment failure). These individuals have no records in the Individual Foods files. These individuals have a record in the Total Nutrients file with values only for the following variables: the respondent sequence number (SEQN), the dietary recall status code (DR1DRSTZ or DR2DRSTZ) and for participants one year or older, the fish and shellfish questions in the DR1TOT_H file (DRD340, DRD350A-K, DRD350AQ-JQ, DRD360, DRD370A-V, and DRD370AQ-UQ).

Only codes 1 and 4 appear in the Individual Foods file.

Distinguishing Between Foods/Beverages and Dietary Supplements in NHANES

The 24-hour dietary supplement use component is administered after the 24-hour dietary recall. All NHANES participants responding to the 24-hour dietary recall interview are eligible for the dietary supplement and non-prescription antacid use questions. Information is obtained on all vitamins, minerals, herbals, and other dietary supplements as well as non-prescription antacids that were consumed during a 24-hour time period (midnight to midnight), including the name and the amount of supplement or antacid taken.

Distinguishing between foods/beverages and supplements can be challenging. NCHS and FSRG review questionable items reported in the dietary supplement and dietary recall components to resolve disposition of these items into the appropriate component. Products that are labeled as a dietary supplement, that have a supplement facts panel on the label, and are in tablets, capsules, softgels, gelcaps, or other pill forms, are considered dietary supplements. Items that are powders or liquids can be hard to distinguish. General guidelines used state that if powders and liquid concentrates have product directions stating that they be added to a liquid, they are classified as beverages. Examples are teas and protein powders. An exception is made for fiber products, which are classified as dietary supplements. Along this same guideline, energy drinks are considered beverages, but “energy shot” type products are considered dietary supplements.

It is best to refer to the two databases that detail every food/beverage and dietary supplement reported in NHANES to identify exact determination used. The databases are:

Participants who reported consuming only water, no food or other beverages: Records are included in the Individual Foods file for participants who consumed only water. There are 6 such individuals in the 2013-2014 datasets, none in the Day 1 data and 6 in the Day 2 data. Their dietary recall status variable for the day is coded as "1" (complete and reliable) in the Total Nutrients file and the total number of items is coded based on how many times water was reported. Individuals with just water intake and no food intake will have zero energy intake for the day.

Participants who reported consuming no water, food or other beverages: There can be survey participants whose intakes are determined to be complete even though they reported no water, food, or other beverage records for the day. For such participants there are no records in the Individual Foods file but their dietary recall status is coded as complete and reliable and the Total Nutrients file will include records with zero values for all nutrients. In the 2013-2014 datasets, there is 1 individual in the day 2 data that reported no water, food, or other beverage records for the day.

Number of days between the intake day and the day of family interview: Each of the four intake files includes a variable (DR1DBIH for Day 1 files and DR2DBIH for Day 2 files) to indicate the number of days between the intake day (i.e., the period covered by the 24-hour recall) and the day that the family questionnaire was administered in the household. A positive value in DR1BHIH or DR2BHIH indicates the family interview occurred prior to the intake day. In the survey, most of the family interviews were done before the participant came to the MEC and participated in the dietary interview. A value of "0" in DR1BHIH or DR2BHIH indicates the family interview occurred on the same date as the intake day. A negative value (i.e., DR1BHIH<0 or DR2BHIH<0) means that the family interview occurred after the intake day.

Food source: The source from which each food/beverage was obtained (e.g., from a store, fast food restaurant, cafeteria) is identified by the variables DR1FS (day 1) and DR2FS (day 2) in the Individual Foods files.

In 2013-2014, the descriptions for codes 8 and 9 “Child care center” and “Family/Adult day care center” have been revised to “Child/Adult care center” and “Child/Adult home care,”, respectively.

The code descriptions for this variable are:

91 Other

Eating occasion was designated by the respondent. During the interview, a list of eating occasion names was available to the respondent for selection. However, eating occasion names were not defined for the respondent.

Foods and beverages coded as part of a combination: Forty-three percent of foods and beverages reported in WWEIA, NHANES 2013-2014 were identified as items consumed together as combinations. Items consumed as a combination were identified by one of fifteen unique "combination food types." Foods and beverages not coded in combination have the code "0" for the combination food type variable.

The combination types provide a linkage for:

Combination Type, Code, Examples, and Percent of Food and Beverages Reported by Type, 2013-2014, Day 1
Combination Type Code Examples of Combination Type % Items
Not in combination 0 NA 57

The What We Eat in America Food Categories, available on the FSRG website (www.ars.usda.gov/nea/bhnrc/fsrg), is a grouping scheme that combines foods and beverages together that have similar usage and nutrient content with the emphasis on how they are commonly consumed in the American diet. There are approximately 150 unique categories and each is assigned a 4-digit number and description. The WWEIA Food Categories contain discrete food items and are not disaggregated (e.g., pizza vs. grain, cheese, tomatoes, etc.). Designed to be flexible, the categories can be combined as needed to address specific research questions. A new version of the WWEIA Food Categories is produced for each 2-year release cycle of WWEIA, NHANES.

Special diet: Information on whether the participant is currently on any kind of diet to lose weight or for other health-related reason and, if so, the type of diet, was provided. The variable DRQSDIET identifies whether a participant was on a special diet. The variables DRQSDT1 through DRQSDT12 and DRQSDT91 identify the type of diet or diets that the participant was following. These variables can be found in the Total Nutrient Intakes file.

Sample weights for dietary intake data: The NHANES participants were selected on the basis of a national probability design. In order to increase the number of participants for specific demographic groups, a multi-stage, unequal probability of selection design was implemented. Beginning with the 2011-2012 data collection the NHANES sample design includes an oversample of Asian Americans.

Sample weights are constructed that encompass the unequal probabilities of selection, as well as adjustments for non-participation by selected sample persons. In order to produce national, representative estimates, the appropriate sample weights must be used.

For NHANES 2013-2014, there were 14,332 persons selected; of these 9,813 were considered participants to the MEC examination and data collection. A total of 8,661 MEC participants provided complete dietary intakes for Day 1, and of those providing the Day 1 data, 7,574 provided complete dietary intakes for Day 2.

Most analyses of NHANES data use data collected in the MEC and the variable WTMEC2YR should be used for the sample weights. However, for the WWEIA dietary data, different sample weights are recommended for analysis. Although attempts are made to schedule MEC exams uniformly throughout the week, proportionally more exams occur on weekend days than on weekdays. Because food intake can vary by weekdays and weekends, use of the MEC weights disproportionately represents intakes on weekends.

A set of weights (WTDRD1) is provided that should be used when an analysis uses the Day 1 dietary recall data (either alone or when Day 1 nutrient data are used in conjunction with MEC data). The set of weights (WTDRD1) is applicable to the 8,661 participants with Day 1 data. Day 1 weights were constructed by taking the MEC sample weights (WTMEC2YR) and further adjusting for (a) the additional non-response and (b) the differential allocation by weekdays (Monday through Thursday), Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for the dietary intake data collection. These Day 1 weights are more variable than the MEC weights, and the sample size is smaller, so estimated standard errors using Day 1 data and Day 1 weights are larger than standard errors for similar estimates based on MEC weights.

When analysis is based on both days of dietary intake, only 7,574 sample participants have complete data. The NHANES protocol requires an attempt to collect the second day of dietary data at least 3 days after the first day, but the actual number of days between the two interviews is variable. A set of adjusted weights, WTDR2D, is to be used when an analysis uses the smaller sample with completed Day 1 and Day 2 dietary data. This two-day weight was constructed for the 7,574 participants by taking the Day 1 weights (WTDRD1) and further adjusting for (a) the additional non-response for the second recall and (b) for the proportion of weekend (Friday through Sunday) and weekday (Monday through Thursday) combinations of Day 1 and Day 2 recalls.

Note that all sample weights are person-level weights and each set of dietary weights should sum to the same overall population control total as the MEC weights (WTMEC2YR). In addition, the MEC weights (WTMEC2YR) are appropriate for use in the analysis of the fish and shellfish consumption data (i.e., variables DRD340, DRD350A-K, DRD350AQ-JQ DRD360, DRD370A-V, and DRD370AQ-UQ) located in the Day 1 Total Nutrient Intake File (DR1TOT_H), if no other dietary data are included in the analysis. Additional explanation of sample weights and appropriate uses are included in the NHANES Analytic Guidelines. Please also refer to the on-line NHANES Tutorial for further details on other analytic issues.

Appendix 4. Adding Food Code Descriptions to Your Files

One supporting file is included with the Individual Foods files: the Food Code Description file (DRXFCD_H).

The DRXFCD_H file includes abbreviated descriptions (up to 60 characters) and complete descriptions (up to 200 characters) associated with each USDA food code included in the Individual Foods files.

The Food Code Description file (DRXFCD_H) contains three variables:

DRXFDCD a numeric value corresponding to DR1IFDCD in the file DR1IFF_H or DR2IFDCD in the file DR2IFF_H;

DRXFCSD a short description (up to 60 characters) of the food code;

DRXFDLD a long description (up to 200 characters) of the food code.

The following SQL code is an example of appending the shorter food code description (here renamed DR1IFCSD) to one of the Individual Foods files using PROC SQL from SAS®. Other SQL implementations may be different.

proc sql;
   create table DR1IFF_H_PLUS as
   select iff.*, desc.DRXFCSD as DR1IFCSD
   from NHANES.DR1IFF_H iff
   left join NHANES.DRXFCD_H desc
   on iff.DR1IFDCD = desc.DRXFDCD
   order by SEQN, DR1ILINE;
quit;

SAS® users may wish to use Proc Format to assign labels to the food codes. The following example generates and saves a picture format for food codes and a separate format for each food code that includes both the food code itself and the short food code description. It is assumed that the user has stored the Individual Foods files and the Food Code Description file in a library called NHANES and wishes to store the formats there as well.

options fmtsearch = (NHANES);

proc format library = library;
   picture foodcode
   low - high = '000-00000';
quit;

data tmp;
   set NHANES.DRXFCD_H;
   length cfoodcode $9 label $72;
   cfoodcode = put(DRXFDCD, foodcode.);
   label = cfoodcode || '  ' || DRXFCSD;
run;

data fmt (keep = fmtname start label);
   set tmp;
   retain fmtname 'DRXFDCD';
   rename DRXFDCD = start;
run;

proc format cntlin = fmt library = library;
run;
