| Abstract | This publication contains estimates of food and nutrient intakes by individuals residing in households in the 48 conterminous States and Washington, D.C., based on data from the 1987-88 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. One-day food and nutrient intake data for 10,172 individuals of all ages were collected between April 1987 and August 1988. The data, collected using a 1-day recall in a personal interview, are provided in six tables. Food and nutrient intake data are tabulated for individuals by sex and age, region, income level, and race. For 64 food groups and subgroups, mean quantities of foods eaten per individual in a day and percentages of individuals who reported eating any food from the specified food groups and subgroups are presented. Also presented are tables of the mean intakes of food energy and nutrients; the percentages of total food energy from protein, total fat, fatty acids, and carbohydrate; and nutrient intakes expressed as percentages of the 1989 Recommended Dietary Allowances. Response rates were very low, approximately 31 percent at the individual level, and the possibility of nonresponse bias cannot be disregarded. |
