Usual Nutrient Intake from Food and Beverages, Among Race/Ethnicity Groups, What We Eat in America, NHANES 2013-2016. Worldwide Web Site: Food Surveys Research Group. Available: https://www.ars.usda.gov/nea/bhnrc/fsrg/wweia/usual. Interpretive Summary: This report presents national estimates of means and distributions of usual nutrient intake from food and beverages for 49 nutrients and dietary components. Usual nutrient intake is the long-run average daily intake of a nutrient and needed to compare nutrient intake to dietary recommendation. When applicable, the estimated usual nutrient intakes are compared to Dietary Reference Intakes used to assess and plan the diets of healthy people http://nationalacademies.org/HMD/Activities/Nutrition/SummaryDRIs/DRI-Tables.aspx. Estimates were from day 1 and day 2 dietary recall interviews from 16,175 individuals ages 1 and older (excluding breast-fed children and pregnant or lactating females) conducted in What We Eat in America (WWEIA), National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2016. Statistics are reported for 12 gender/age groups by race/ethnicity categories including non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic Asian, and Hispanic. Data include nutrient intake estimates from food and beverages (both naturally present and fortified) and exclude nutrient intake estimates contributed by dietary supplements. Food and beverage intakes were coded and nutrient values determined using the USDA Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies 2013-2014 and 2015-2016. The report is of benefit to researchers and health policy officials evaluating the proportion of the population by race/ ethnicity at or below a certain level of intake or the prevalence of nutrient inadequacy within a group. It is available on the Food Surveys Research Group website at https://www.ars.usda.gov/nea/bhnrc/fsrg Technical Abstract: This report presents national estimates of means and distributions of usual nutrient intake from food and beverages for 49 nutrients and dietary components. When applicable, the estimated usual nutrient intakes are compared to Dietary Reference Intakes used to assess and plan the diets of healthy people http://nationalacademies.org/HMD/Activities/Nutrition/SummaryDRIs/DRI-Tables.aspx. Estimates of usual intake were determined using the National Cancer Institute Method and day 1 and day 2 dietary recall interviews from 16,175 individuals ages 1 and older (excluding breast-fed children and pregnant or lactating females) conducted in What We Eat in America (WWEIA), National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2016. Statistics are reported for 12 gender/age groups by race/ethnicity categories including non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic Asian, and Hispanic. Sample weights designed for dietary analysis were used to allow estimates representative of the U.S. population for the years of collection. Data include nutrient intake estimates from food and beverages (both naturally present and fortified) and exclude nutrient intake estimates contributed by dietary supplements. Food and beverage intakes were coded and nutrient values determined using the USDA Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies 2013-2014 and 2015-2016.
