ABSTRACT 

Katherine S. Tippett, Sharon J. Mickle, Joseph D. Goldman, et al. 1995. Food and Nutrient Intake by Individuals in the United 

States, ! Day, 1989-91. Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals, 1989-91, Nationwide Food Surveys Rep. No. 91-2, 

263 pp. 

This publication contains estimates of food and nutrient intakes by individuals residing in households in the 48 conterminous 

States and Washington, DC. The estimates are based on information provided by 15,128 individuals who participated in the 

1989-91 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. One-day food and 

nutrient intake data for individuals of all ages were collected between April 1989 and March 1992 using a l-day recall in an inperson interview. Food and nutrient intake estimates are tabulated for individuals by sex and age, race, Food Stamp Program 

participation, poverty status, income level, and region. For 71 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 groupsand subgroups 

are presented. Also presented are tables of the mean intakes of food energy and nutrients; nutrient intakes per 1,000 kilocalories; 

nutrient intakes expressed as percentages of the 1989 Recommended Dietary A!lowances; macronutrient sources of food energy; 

frequency of eating; percentage of individuals reporting specified eating occasions; mean intakes and percentages of individuals 

reporting drinking plain water; percentages of individuals reporting special diets by type of diet; usage of vitamin and mineral 

supplements by type of supplement; and frequency of salting food at the table. 

Key words: diet survey, nutrition survey, food, food intakes, nutrient intakes, vitamins, minerals

FOOD AND NUTRIENT INTAKES BY INDIVIDUALS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1 DAY, 1989-91 

This publication provides estimates of 1-day food and nutrient intakes by individuals of all ages living in households in the 48 conterminous States and Washington, 

DC. It is based on data from the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals 

(CSFII 1989-91) conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). CSFII 

1989-91 was originally conducted as three separate 1-year surveys. Data collection 

for each year began in April and continued through March of the following year. 

The design of the survey included two independent stratified clustered samples of 

housing units, a basic or all-income sample, and a low-income sample. The samples 

were drawn from the 48 conterminous States and Washington, DC. For each year, 

data from the basic and low-income samples were combined; data for each year are 

available on magnetic tape (USDA-HNIS 1992b, 1993b, 1994b). This publication 

is based on combined data from all 3 years. Appendix A provides additional 

information on the sampling and other statistical aspects of the survey. 

Individuals who took part in the survey were asked to provide 3 consecutive days of 

dietary data. The first day's data, which are the basis of this report, were collected 

in an in-person interview using a l-day dietary recall. The second and third days' 

data were collected using a 2-day dietary record. Appendix B provides additional 

information on the data collection procedures. 

National Analysts (a division of Booz, Allen and Hamilton, Inc.), conducted CSFII 

1989-91 under contract with the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA). USDA 

defined the information to be collected; developed the survey instruments; provided 

technical information such as food codes, weights of common measures of food, 

and the food composition data base; and monitored the contract. National Analysts 

designed the sample; collected the information; edited, coded, and keyed the data; 

converted food intake data into nutrient intake data; and prepared a final data tape. 

Sample weights were created by Iowa State University researchers. 

The CSFII 1989-91 is the most recently completed of many USDA surveys of food 

consumption. These surveys and their methodologies have been expanded and 

refined over the years by USDA and cooperating agencies. The surveys are used to 

assess food consumption behavior and the nutritional content of diets for policy 

implications relating to food production and marketing, food safety, food assistance, and nutrition education. The surveys are a major component of the National 

Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Program, a set of Federal activities that 

provide regular information on the nutritional status of the U.S. population 

(USDHHS and USDA 1989, USDHHS and USDA 1993). 

This report contains three types of tables. I 

I (1) Descriptive statistical tables, which present detailed data from the survey. These 115 

tables begin on page 6, and the list of their titles starts on page iv. (2) Text tables 

summarizing survey results or providing information about the survey design. These 

tables appear in the Highlights section and in appendixes A, B, and C. The titles of these 

13 tables identify them as text tables. (3) Appendix C tables, which provide information on 

food mixtures reported in the survey. The titles of these six tables identify them as 

appendix C tables. 
HIGHLIGHTS 

Selected population estimates, based on results from the 1989-91 CSFII, are 

presented here along with comparisons from the 1977-78 and the 1987-88 Nationwide Food Consumption Surveys (USDA-HNIS 1993a). The 1977-78 and 1987- 

88 surveys also included the collection of 1-day dietary intakes. Numbers in 

parentheses following an estimated mean are standard errors of the mean. Highlights are as follows: 

A shift to a lower fat, higher carbohydrate diet between 

1977-78 and 1989--91. In 1989-91, individuals obtained 34 

(+0.2) percent of their calories from total fat (table 11.1), 

down from 36 (_.+0.2) percent in 1987-88 and 40 ~0.1) 

percent in 1977-78. In 1989-91, individuals obtained 49 

(.t_0.2) percent of calories from total carbohydrate, up from 

47 (+0.3) percent in 1987-88 and 43 (_+0.2) percent in 1977- 

78. Despite the decrease in total fat, the amount of total fat in 

the average diet is still higher than the 30 percent or less of 

calories recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for 

Americans (USDA and USDHHS 1990). 

A change in the kinds of foods we eat. Diets in 1989-91 

differed considerably from those in 1977-78 (text table 1). In 

1989-91, we ate more grain products, especially grain 

mixtures (such as pizza and lasagna) and cereals and pasta; 

we drank less whole milk and more lowfat and skim milk; 

we ate more mixtures that were mainly meat, poultry, or fish 

(such as a cheeseburger on a bun and stews) and fewer 

separate cuts of beef and pork (such as steaks and roasts); we 

ate fewer eggs; and we drank more carbonated soft drinks. 

Vegetable consumption declined while fruit consumption 

increased only slightly despite dietary advice to eat more of 

both food groups. 

Not enough fruit in the diets of some individuals. The 

Food Guide Pyramid (USDA-HNIS 1992a) advises 

individuals to consume two to four servings of fruit daily. In 

1989-91, only about half (53 percent) of the population ate 

fruit or drank fruit juices on any given day (table 3.1B). For 

some groups, especially for teenagers and for adults under 50 

years of age, the percentage of individuals eating fruit or 

drinking fruit juices was even lower. The intake of fruit by 

low-income individuals (123 grams) was considerably lower 

than the intakes of fruit by middle- and high-income 

individuals (160 and 169 grams, respectively) (table 3.5A). 2 

A shift over time in the types of beverages consumed. 

Between 1977-78 and 1989-91, the intake of fluid milk 

declined by 12 percent (from 252 to 221 grams) while the 

intake of carbonated soft drinks increased 72 percent (from 

144 to 248 grams). Intakes of coffee and tea remained about 

the same during the period, but intakes of fruit juices (citrus 

plus noncitrus) and fruit drinks and ades both increased (by 

24 and 30 percent, respectively). 

Racial differences in intakes of some types of beverages. 

In 1989-91, intakes of carbonated soft drinks were higher 

among whites (257 grams) than among blacks (212 grams), 

but intakes of fruit drinks and ades were higher among 

blacks (108 grams) than among whites (58 grams) (table 

7.2A). 

Income differences in the type of milk drunk. About 38 

percent of the total fluid milk drunk by low-income 

individuals was lowfat and skim, compared with 72 percent 

of that by high-income individuals (table 4.5A). 

New information available on the types of mixtures eaten. 

The mean intake by individuals of mixtures that were mainly 

grain was 89 grams in 1989-91 (app. table C3A), an increase 

of 71 percent since 1977-78. Of the grain mixtures, 39 

grams (about 44 percent) were pasta-based, usually with a 

tomato, cheese, or cream sauce; 27 grams (about 30 percent) 

were bread-based mixtures such as pizza or tortilla-type 

mixtures (for example, enchiladas, burritos, or tacos); 9 

2 Low-income individuals are those living in households with annual income at or below 130 

percent of the Federal poverty thresholds; middle-income individuals, at 131-350 percent; 

and high-income individuals, at over 350 percent.

grams (about 10 percent) were rice-based; and 13 grams 

(about 15 percent) were rice- or pasta-based soups. In 1989- 

91, the mean intake of mixtures that were mainly meat, 

poultry, or fish was 90 grams (app. table C4A), up 30 percent 

from 1977-78. Of these mixtures, 57 grams (about 63 

percent) were meat-based, 15 grams (about 17 percent) were 

poultry-based, 7 grams (about 8 percent) were fish-based, 

and 9 grams (about 10 percent) were soups. 

Mean nutrient intakes that exceed the Recommended 

Dietary Allowances (RDA) (National Research Council 

1989) for 10 of 15 nutrients. Mean intakes for the total 

population and for most sex-age groups met or exceeded the 

RDA for protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, 

niacin, folate, vitamin B n, phosphorus, and iron (table 10.1). 

Although the mean intake of iron for the total population was 

above the RDA, intakes by several sex-age groups (children 

I to 2 years old and women 12 to 49 years old) were not. For 

some nutrients--vitamin E, vitamin B 6, calcium, magnesium, 

and zinc--mean intakes were below the RDA for the total 

population and for many sex-age groups. 3 

An average intake of cholesterol of 270 milligrams---345 

milligrams for men 20 and over and 231 milligrams for 

women of the same age (table 8.1). Many health authorities 

recommend a daily cholesterol intake of less than 300 

milligrams. Intakes by all age groups of males 12 to 69 years 

old exceeded this recommendation. 

An average intake of sodium in 1989-91 of 3,074 

milligrams--3,891 milligrams for men 20 years and over 

and 2,489 milligrams for women the same age (table 8.1). 

Sodium intake estimates in the CSFII are based exclusively 

3An average intake below the RDA does not necessarily mean that people in a group were 

malnourished. Individuals' nutrient requirements differ, and the RDA are set high 

enough to meet the requirements of most healthy people. Thus, the RDA exceed the 

requirements of many individuals. However, the risk of some individuals' having 

inadequate intakes increases as the average intake for the group falls further below the 

RDA (National Research Council 1989). 

3 
on sodium from foods and beverages; sodium from salt 

added at the table was not quantified in the survey and is not 

included. The Committee on Diet and Health of the National 

Research Council has recommended that daily intake of salt 

(sodium chloride) be limited to 6 grams (National Academy 

of Sciences 1989). This translates into a daily sodium intake 

of 2,400 milligrams. Thus, sodium intakes by all groups of 

males 3 years and older and most groups of females 6 years 

and older exceeded the recommended level even though salt 

added at the table was not included. Data on the type and 

frequency (but not the quantity) of salt used at the table was 

obtained in the CSFII. About 35 percent of individuals 

reported never adding salt to food at the table, while 11 

percent indicated that they use ordinary salt very often (table 

17). 

Nutrient intakes expressed as percentages of the RDA 

that, for low-income Food Stamp Program participants, 

were as high as or higher than those by low-income 

nonparticipants (table 10.3). 

Most people eat breakfast. About 83 percent of ind.ividuals 

eat breakfast on any given day (table 13). 

Some type of vitamin and mineral supplement is used by 

47 percent of women 20 and over and by 32 percent of 

men of the same age on any given day (table 16). 

Multivitamins are the most used type of supplement.

SURVEY TABLE NOTES 

General Notes 

"1 day" refers to the period of time on which data are based for each individual. 

Intakes were assessed using a recall of foods and beverages ingested during the day 

preceding the interview--the 24 hours from midnight to 11:59 p.m. 

The numbers in the "Percentage of population" column in the tables are calculated 

from weighted counts of individuals. Results in the body of the tables are weighted 

to estimate population values. See "Sample weights" in appendix A for an explanation of weighting procedures and "Sample design" in appendix A for unweighted 

counts of individuals and weighted percentages of the population. 

Breast-fed children are excluded from the tables in this report because breast-milk 

intakes were not quantified in the CSFII, and intake information for breast-fed 

children was therefore incomplete. A breast-fed child is any child that received any 

breast milk during the survey days, whether or not the child also had intakes of 

food other than breast milk. Survey data tapes (USDA-HNIS 1992b, 1993b, 1994b) 

include information on breast-fed children for researchers who wish to impute 

breast-milk intakes or to examine their intakes from other sources. 

Race and income were not reported for some individuals. Therefore, the numbers in 

the "Percentage of population" column for the race, poverty status, and incomelevel categories may not add up to 100 percent. 

Daggers are used in the tables to flag estimates that may be less statistically reliable 

than those that are not flagged. See "Statistical notes" in appendix A for a discussion of the rules used to determine whether a particular cell is flagged. 

Demographic Variables 

Age: Age was calculated from the date of birth, if given. Otherwise, age was that 

given by respondent. 

Race: The household respondent reported the race of each household member as 

white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Aleut/Eskimo/American Indian, or some other 

race. Race categories included in this report are limited to black and white because 

the sample included only small numbers of individuals of other races. 

Food Stamp Program participation: Individuals are classified as participating or 

nonparticipating, based on the response of the household respondent to the question, "Is your household receiving food stamps at the present time?" Although this 

question was asked of all households, the data in the tables presenting Food Stamp 

Program participation are based on only the low-income population--that is, 

individuals in households with incomes at or below 130 percent of the Federal 

poverty thresholds. See "Data presentation" in appendix B for information on the 

Federal poverty thresholds. 

Poverty status: Poverty status is based on income level (see below). Households 

were grouped into those in poverty (income under 100 percent of the Federal 

p'overty thresholds) and those not in poverty (income of 100 percent or more of the 

Federal poverty thresholds). See "Data presentation" in appendix B for information 

on the Federal poverty thresholds. 

Income level: Each household respondent provided an estimate of the total income 

from all sources, before taxes, of all household members for the calendar year 

before the interview. Respondents who did not provide an answer as an amount in 

dollars were asked to choose from a list of income ranges. For each household 

providing annual income in the form of a range, the mean income of all households 

reporting a specific dollar figure within that range was assigned to be the annual 

income. Individuals in households not reporting income in one of the two ways 

described above are excluded from income groups in this report (11.3 percent of all 

individuals). Three levels of household income expressed as a percentage of the 

Federal poverty thresholds are used in this report. See "Data presentation" in 

appendix B for information on the Federal poverty thresholds. 

Region: An area of the conterminous United States as defined by the U.S. Department of Commerce for the 1990 Census of Population. The four census regions are 

as follows: 

Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, 

New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont 

Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, 

Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin 

South: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, 

Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South 

Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia 

213 
West: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, 

Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming (The census definition of the West also 

includes Alaska and Hawaii, which are excluded from the CSFII.)

Mean per individual in a day: The mean for each age group represents users and 

nonusers. See "Data presentation" in appendix B for information on how means 

were calculated. 

Percentage of individuals using: A user is an individual reporting any food item in 

the specified group or subgroup. See "Data presentation" in appendix B for 

ififormation on calculating mean intake per user.

equivalents that take into account the different calcium densities of various milk 

products, which may be used in varying proportions by the population groups. 

215 
The calcium equivalent of 2 ounces (57 grams) of cheddar cheese is calculated as 

follows: 

(1) Derive the calcium conversion factor for cheddar cheese: 

Calcium in 100 g cheddar cheese 

Calcium in 100 g whole fluid milk 

= 72ling = 6.06 

119 mg 

(2) Multiply the amount of cheddar cheese eaten by the calcium conversion 

factor: 57 grams × 6.06 = 345 grams. (The amount of calcium in 57 grams 

of cheddar cheese is equal to the amount of calcium in 345 grams of whole 

fluid milk.)

considered to be a separate eating occasion. If the time was unknown, a separate 

eating occasion was denoted by a change in the name of the eating occasion. 

Table 13 -- Eating Occasions 

An eating occasion was considered to be any report of eating or drinking by a 

respondent. The name of the eating occasion was provided by the respondent. 

Respondents were asked, "Would you call this eating or drinking occasion: breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, supper, snack/beverage-break/happy-hour,.infant 

feeding, something else?"

APPENDIX A. STATISTICAL ASPECTS OF THE SURVEY 

Sample Design 

The 1989-91 CSFII included two independent samples of housing units. In the 

"basic" or all-income sample, individuals in all households in the conterminous 48 

States and Washington, DC, were eligible to be interviewed. In the low-income 

sample, eligibility was limited to individuals in households having gross income for 

the previous month at or below 130 percent of the Federal poverty thresholds. The 

two samples (basic and low income) were combined during the weighting process. 

Both the basic and low-income samples were derived from the contractor's master 

sample, which was in existence before the award of the contract for the survey. This 

master sample is a stratified clustered sample of 240 census-defined areas designed 

to serve as the first stage for multistage national probability samples of households. 

The sampling frame was organized using estimates of the U.S. population in 1980. 

Adjustments were made at the time of the survey to reflect the current population. 

The stratification plan took into account geographic location, degree of urbanization, and socioeconomic considerations. Each successive sampling stage selected 

increasingly smaller, more specific locations. 

"The 48 States (plus Washington, DC) were grouped into the nine census geographic 

divisions. Then all land areas within the divisions were divided into three urbanization classifications: central city, suburban, and nonmetropolitan. Thus all cities and 

counties in the conterminous United States were classified into one of 27 

superstrata. There Was no geographic area in the 48 States that was not included in 

one of the superstrata. 

The 27 superstrata were further divided into smaller geographic pieces. The 

stratification process resulted in a total of 60 strata--17 central city, 28 suburban, 

and 15 nonmetropolitan--which corresponded to the geographic distribution, 

urbanization, and density of the population within the conterminous United States 

as reported by the Bureau of the Census. The average size of these strata was 

approximately 4 million persons. 

Counties, cities, and parts of cities within each stratum were grouped together into 

smaller, relatively homogeneous units called primary sampling units (PSU's) based 

on political, economic, and demographic characteristics and geographical proximity. The master sample was selected in four independent replications. Each replication consisted of the selection of one PSU from each of the 60 strata with probability proportional to the PSU's projected 1985 population. The CSFII sample 

required 120 PSU's, so two replicates of the master sample were used for the 

CSFII. The two PSU's were selected from each stratum with replacement; that is, 

the selection of a PSU did not preclude its selection as the second PSU. Seven of 

the PSU's were selected for both replicates, leaving 113 unique PSU selections for 

the CSFII. The selection of PSU's in independent replicates allows straightfoi'ward 

variance estimation. Since, by design, two independent PSU selections were made 

from each of the 60 strata, 60 degrees of freedom (one from.each stratum PSU pair) 

should have been available for variance estimation. However, only 119 PSU's were 

represented by respondents, providing 59 degrees of freedom. 

Each selected PSU was divided geographically along census boundaries into 

smaller clusters known as area segments, containing a minimum of 75 housing 

units. These segments usually consisted of one or more city blocks in urban areas 

and part of a census enumeration district elsewhere. Each year, a total of 260 basic 

area segments and 500 low-income area segments were drawn into the sample. 

Selections were made using a systematic selection with a random start. Separate 

draws were made for each of the two samples (basic and low income) in each year. 

The possibility for overlap in area segments between the samples existed, but in 

practice, no area segments were selected for both samples. 

To increase the probability of locating low-income households within each PSU, 

disproportionate sampling was applied to the low-income area segments. Each of 

the 500 segments was assigned to 1 of 3 poverty strata according to the proportions 

of the population in the segment having an income at or below 125 percent of the 

poverty thresholds (text table 2). This poverty cutoff was the closest published 

figure to the 130-percent target sought for the CSFII. A higher sampling rate was 

used to select area segments in strata containing larger poverty populations. 

The number of household interviews targeted for completion each year in the basic 

survey was 1,500, with approximately 375 to be taken in each of the 4 quarters of 

the year. The number of low-income household interviews targeted for completion 

in each year was 750, of which approximately 188 were to be completed each 

quarter. Because the targeted number of completed household interviews would be 

extremely low on a quarterly basis if all the segments were activated each quarter, 

half of the areas were fielded in each quarter. All the area segments were randomly 

assigned, on a systematic basis, to one of two subsets. One subset of area segments 

was assigned to quarters 1 and 3, and the other subset to quarters 2 and 4.

The basic and low-income area segments were prelisted to identify the existing 

housing units within the area boundaries at the time of each survey. The prelisted 

number of housing units in the area, together with census information, served as the 

basis for determining the number of housing units to be selected into the sample 

from that area. To complete the targeted 2,250 household "interviews each year, a 

larger number of sample housing units had to be identified for contact to account 

for vacant housing units, eligibility requirements in the low-income survey, and 

nonresponse. 

Once the total sample size was chosen for a quarter for the basic survey, the sample 

was allocated to the area segments in such a way that, within rounding error, all 

households in the area segments assigned to that quarter had the same total probability of selection. For the low-income survey, the sample for each quarter was 

allocated to segments in such a way that the designed differential area segment 

sampling rates were preserved. 

For each segment, the sample housing units assigned to a given quarter were 

selected systematically with a random start. If additional household units were 

identified in the field at the time of the interviewer's visit, the housing units were 

brought into the sample using the half-open interval method. That is, any unlisted 

housing units occurring after a sample housing unit but before the next listed unit 

were added to the sample and identified for screening and, potentially, interview. 

Thesample size for each of the 3 years is shown in text table 3.

counts and from the calculations made to determine the percentage of population. 

Tables of estimates for Food Stamp Program participants are based on the lowincome population--that is, individuals in households with incomes at or below 

• 130 percent of the Federal poverty thresholds. , 

Survey Response 

As with any survey, not all households or individuals drawn into the sample 

participated. The overall analytic day-1 response rate in the CSFII 1989-91 for the 

combined sample was 57.6 percent. Numbers of participating households and 

numbers of individuals providing information used in this report are provided in 

text table 10 along with response-rate calculations. 

Sample Weights 

The CSFII weighting was done in two phases. In the first phase, a fundamental 

sampling weight (that is, the inverse of the probability of selection) was computed 

for each responding household. This fundamental sampling weight was then 

adjusted to account for nonresponse at the area segment level. These first-phase 

computations were made separately for households in each of the two original 

samples (basic and low-income). 

The second-phase computations used the weights produced in the first phase as the 

starting point of a reweighting process that combined the two original samples 

(basic and low income) into a single sample. Further adjustments for survey 

nonresponse were made by using regression techniques to calibrate the sample to 

match population characteristics known to be correlated with eating behavior 

(USDHHS and USDA 1989, Bryant et al. 1989, Davis 1982, Morgan 1986) and to 

equalize intakes over the 12 quarters of the 3-year period and the 7 days of the 

week. The result of the second-phase computations are final weights that allow the 

use of the combined (basic and low-income) sample. 4 

Sixteen characteristics were used in the weight construction. Fourteen of these were 

demographic characteristics: geographic division; degree of urbanization; household income as a percentage of the Federal poverty thresholds; Food Stamp 

Program participation; home ownership; race, ethnicity, and age of individual; 

employment status for the previous week (for children, employment status of the 

female head); household with a child age 6 or less; household with a child age 7 to 

17; exactly one adult in household; exactly two adults in household; female~head 

age 40 or younger with no children age 17 or younger. In addition, the quarter (3- 

month period) of interview and the day of the week for which food intake was 

reported by the respondent were used as the 15th and 16th characteristics. The 

population totals for the characteristics, obtained from the March supplements to 

the 1989, 1990, and 1991 Current Population Survey (USDOC-BOC 1989, 1990a, 

1991a), were used as controls in determining the weights. 

The 16 characteristics were converted to variables that could be used in regression 

analysis. Weights were constructed separately for each of three groups defined by 

sex and age: men age 20 and over, women age 20 and over, and persons less than 

20 years old. In all, there were 54 control variables for men, 54 for women, and 53 

for persons less than 20 years old. (The characteristic "female head less .than 40 

years old with no children age 17 or younger" was not used in constructing weights 

for persons under age 20.) A weight was constructed for each individual using the 

program described by Huang and Fuller (Huang and Fuller 1978). 

Additional information on the procedures used to weight the data is available in the 

documentation for the 1991 data tape (USDA-HNIS 1994b). 

Statistical Notes 

The average design effect for the CSFII is approximately 2.3. The design effect is a 

measure of the effect of a complex sample design on an estimate of the variance of 

a statistic. A larger design effect implies less accuracy. The relatively high design 

effect for the CSFII results from the complex sample design of the CSFII and from 

the procedures used to weight the data. The weighting procedures involved using 

regression techniques to calibrate the sample to match population characteristics 

thought to be correlated with eating behavior. The regression techniques also 

incorporated day of the week and quarter of the year of intake as control variables. 

Although this weighting reduces the magnitude of nonresponse bias and adjusts for 

other vagaries of the sample selectionprocess, it also tends to increase the variance 

of the estimates. 

4 Phase-2 work was done by Iowa State University researchers under a cooperative 

agreement.

percent) as screened households. 

230 
Reporting guidelines 

Daggers are used in the tables to flag estimates that may be less statistically reliable 

than those that are not flagged. The rules used for flagging estimates are as follows: 

An estimated mean is flagged when it is based on a cell size of less than 69 

(that is, a cell size of less than 30 times the average design effect of 2.3) or 

when its coefficient of variation (CV) is equal to or greater than 30 percent. 

This rule also applies to means expressed as percentages--for example, the 

mean intake of fat expressed as a percentage of kilocalories. Cell size refers 

to the unweighted number of individuals in a given sex-age group or demographic group. 

An estimated proportion (percent) that falls above 25 percent and below 75 

percent is flagged when it is based on a cell size of less than 69 (that is, a cell 

size of less than 30 times the average design effect of 2.3). An estimated 

proportion of 25 percent or lower or 75 percent or higher is flagged when the 

cell size on which the estimate is based (n) is smaller than the larger of 18.4/p 

and 18.4/(1-p), where p is the percentile expressed as a fraction--that is, when 

the smaller of np and n(1-p) is less than 8 times the average design effect of 

2.3. 

An exception to the rule for proportions (percents) is made for estimates of the 

percentage of individuals using items from specified food groups or subgroups. These tables are presented together with tables of mean intakes of the 

same food groups or subgroups. A flag on the mean estimate may be considered to be an index of the statistical reliability of the corresponding "percentage using" estimate, because they are closely related. 

Estimates of variance 

Survey results are used in making inferences about the targeted populations. As the 

variability of the estimates obtained from a sample decreases, the precision with 

which the estimates measure true population values increases. The appropriate 

degree of precision depends on the objectives of the sponsoring organization as 

well as on the practicality and cost of obtaining samples of various sizes. 

For any survey employing a complex sampling design, it is appropriate to estimate 

measures of variance using techniques (available through specialized software such 

as SUDAAN, PC/CARP, or OSIRIS) that take survey design and weighting into 

account. Estimates of variance in the tables in this report were calculated using the 

Taylor series linearization approach in SUDAAN (Shah et al. 1991). 

Sample surveys are subject to several types of errors (Groves 1989). Errors of 

nonobservation may be caused by incomplete coverage; by sampling errors, which 

occur because a sample, rather than the entire population, is surveyed; and by 

nonresponse. Observational errors can be introduced by the interviewer, by the 

respondent, and by the data-collection instrument and its mode of administration. 

Additional errors may be introduced during coding and further processing of the 

data. 

Standard error of the mean. The standard error of the mean is the square root of 

the estimated variance of the mean. A standard error is a measure of the sampling 

and random nonsampling errors in an estimate. It does not measure the effects of 

systematic biases in the survey data (nonrandom nonsampling errors). Rather, the 

standard error of an estimate measures the potential variation between that estimate 

and the value that would have been obtained if the entire population had been 

surveyed using the same methodology. It is assumed that the biasing impact of 

nonresponse has been removed in the estimation process. Tables of standard errors 

for the estimates in this report are available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Survey Systems/Food Consumption Laboratory, 4700 River Road, Unit 83, Riverdale, MD 20737. 

Coefficient of variation of the mean. The coefficient of variation (CV) for an 

estimated mean is the standard error of the mean divided by the estimated mean and 

multiplied by 100 percent. Thus, an estimate of 10 with a standard error of I has a 

CV of (1/10)100% = 10%. 

Confidence intervals for means. Because of the known.problems of skewness 

with food and nutrient intake variables, the construction of confidence intervals 

around estimated values based on the normal distribution may not be appropriate. 

231 
APPENDIX B. DATA COLLECTION, PROCESSING, 

AND PRESENTATION 

Data Collection 

Interviewers visited every sample address drawn into the sample to determine by 

visual inspection whether that location was a residential housing unit. To contact 

individuals in housing units that met this criterion, interviewers made up to three 

personal visits plus up to eight telephone calls to each household having a telephone. Households without telephones received a minimum of six personal visits. 

At each household, the interviewer attempted a screening interview to determine if 

the household was eligible to participate in the survey. Interviewers were instructed 

to attempt screening interviews, if possible, with the household member who was 

responsible for planning and preparing the family meals (main meal planner/ 

preparer). If the main meal planner/preparer was not available, any knowledgeable 

adult member of the household (18 years old or older) could serve as the screening 

respondent. 

Most households were eligible to participate in the basic survey?However, households with nine or more persons unrelated to the head of the household were 

considered group quarters and were not eligible. All individuals regularly living in 

the selected household, except roomers, boarders, and employees, were eligible to 

participate in the survey; persons who were living away at school, traveling during 

the survey period, in military barracks, or in institutions were ineligible. 

Eligible low-income households were those with income at or below 130 percent of 

the Federal poverty thresholds during the previous month. This income level was 

selected because it is the same as one of the income criteria used to determine 

whether nonelderly households are eligible to participate in the Food Stamp 

Program. Not all households meeting the income criteria are eligible for food 

stamps; other criteria, such as asset limitations, must also be met. This survey 

screened households for only income level, not for Food Stamp Program eligibility. 

The Federal poverty thresholds are based on income and household size (USDOCBOC 1990b, 1991b, 1992). 

At eligible households, the interviewer provided the household with a letter of 

introduction and a survey fact sheet and described the survey. Then the interview 

was administered in person, beginning with the household questionnaire--a series 

of questions about the composition and characteristics of the household and some 

food-related behaviors. 

The household questionnaire was immediately followed by administration of the 

day-1 recall to the main meal planner/preparer and then to other members of the 

household. The reference time period for the day-I recall was from midnight to 

11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the interview. The interviewer began by asking 

each individual to recall the first time the individual ate or drank something and 

then collected detailed information about foods eaten at that time. Then the 

interviewer asked about the next time anything was eaten or drunk and continued 

asking about each successive eating occasion throughout the day. The interviewer 

probed as necessary to ensure complete descriptions of foods and beverages and to 

check for omissions. 

If a household member was absent at the time of the interview, the main meal 

planner/preparer was asked to report what that person had eaten. The recall form 

was left at the household to be reviewed or completed by the absent person. The 

main meal planner/preparer was asked to report intake information for any children 

under the age of 12. 

When day-1 recalls had been completed for as many household members as 

possible, the interviewer described the day-2 and day-3 records and helped each 

household member begin a record of the current day's intake. The interviewer then 

scheduled a return appointment for 2-4 days later. Any absent household member 

who was unable to complete records for the same days as other household members 

was asked to complete at least a 1-day record for any day prior to the interviewer's 

return appointment. 

During the return interview, the interviewer reviewed the day-2 and day-3 records 

for completeness. Monetary incentives were distributed at this time; $2.00 per 

person was paid for each completed 3-day recall-plus-record set, up to a total of 

$20.00 per household. 

233 
The format of the form used to record food intake was the same for the day-I recall 

and the day-2 and day-3 records. The data collected included the following: 

• Detailed descriptions of all foods and beverages consumed 

• Quantities eaten 

• Time each eating occasion began 

• Name of each eating occasion 

• With whom the food was eaten 

• Source of the food (from the home food supply or obtained and eaten away 

from home) 

• Place from which food was obtained 

• Use of fat and salt in food preparation (asked only of the main meal planner/ 

preparer for foods prepared at home). 

The interviewers used standard household measuring cups and spoons and a ruler 

during the interview to help each individual estimate quantities of foods and 

beverages consumed. The quantity of each food and beverage ingested was reported 

in common household measures (cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons, or fractions 

thereof), dimensions, number of units, or weights, as appropriate to the food item. 

A food instruction booklet, developed by National Analysts based on information 

provided by HNIS, was used by the interviewers to help each individual describe 

adequately the foods and the amounts eaten. Each household was provided with a 

set of measuring cups and spoons and a ruler as well as the food instruction booklet 

to use while keeping the day-2 and day-3 records. The household kept the cups, 

spoons, and ruler at the completion of the survey. 

Only the main meal planner/preparer was asked to supply information about the use 

of fat and salt in the preparation of foods and beverages from the home food supply. 

If any fats or oils were used in preparing a specific item, the main meal planner/ 

preparer was asked to specify the type but not the amount. Similarly, the main meal 

planner/preparer was asked whether or not salt was used in the preparation of each 

item from the home food supply, but not the amount of salt used. 

Each household member was asked for some additional information during the lday recall, including water intake; use of salt at the table; whether the person was 

on a special diet and, if so, what kind; and use of vitamin or mineral supplements 

and, if so, what kinds (but not quantities); self-reported healthfulness of diet, 

height, and weight; use of fish oil and fiber supplements; health status and physical 

handicaps; level of physical activity during leisure time; cigarette smoking; TV 

watching; and the use and handling of fully cooked meat and poultry dishes 

purchased from a store or delicatessen. Information on the frequencies of use of 

selected foods during the past 3 months and the average number of times these 

foods were eaten or drunk during a day, a week, or a month was collected at the 

request of the Environmental Protection Agency. The information on water intake, 

use of salt, and use of vitamin and mineral supplements is provided in the tables in 

this report; other variables are included on the data tapes (USDA-HNIS 1992b, 

1993b, 1994b). 

Eligible households were to be scheduled for contact in a manner designed to 

provide representativeness of intake data by day of the week. But fewer interviews 

were conducted on Sunday, so percentages of acceptable dietary forms collected are 

lower for Saturday (day-I recall), Sunday (day-2 record), and Monday (day-3 

record). The day of interview was included as a control variable in weighting the 

sample. 

Data Processing 

Food coding: Completed schedules were coded by the contractor using food codes, 

gram weight equivalents of reported measures, and coding guidelines provided by 

the Federal Government (USDA-HNIS 1994a). Each food and beverage (except 

plain drinking water) reported as ingested during the survey period was assigned a 

code number, and the amount of each food was converted to weight in grams. Items 

that could not be coded by the contractor using available information were referred 

to HNIS for resolution. New codes and appropriate measures and weights were 

created by HNIS as needed. 

The food coding system used for previous HNIS surveys was updated for CSFII 

1989-91. The updating process included a review of new foods on the market and 

the addition of codes for some of these foods; examination within some food 

groups of the consistency of terminology used in food code descriptions and food 

measure descriptions; evaluation of the reasonableness of weight equivalents for 

234 
some food measures; revision and refinement of recipes used in survey codes; 

expansion of brand names in food code descriptions and inclusion of additional 

brand-specific measures and equivalent weights; and review of food coding 

guidelines. 

Nutrient data base: The amount of each nutrient in each food eaten was calculated 

using the weight (in grams) of that food and the nutritive value of that food (per 100 

grams) from the USDA Nutrient Data Base for Individual Intake Surveys (USDAHNIS 1992c). The intake records and the nutrient data base were linked by the food 

codes. Amounts of each nutrient in each food reported by an individual were 

summed to obtain the nutrient intake for the day. 

The data base used to calculate nutrient intakes Was developed by HNIS for use in 

this survey. The data base contains representative nutrient values, per 100 grams of 

the edible portion, for each of the approximately 6,700 food items in the food 

coding system. The values for most items containing two or more ingredients were 

calculated from the ingredients using representative recipes (Pefloff et al. 1990). 

The nutrient data base includes values for food energy and 29 nutrients and other 

dietary components: protein, total fat, saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty 

acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, cholesterol, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, vitamin 

A (as international units and as retinol equivalents), carotenes, vitamin E, vitamin 

C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, vitamin B-12, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, sodium, potassium, alcohol, and moisture 

(water). 

Information on the use of salt and fat in food preparation was collected from the 

main meal planner/preparer. This information was used in calculating that 

individual's nutrient intakes, but not those of other household members. 

The values for food energy, nutrients, and other dietary components came from the 

USDA National Nutrient Data Base for Standard Reference (USDA-HNIS 1992d) 

and the USDA Nutrient Data Bank (Haytowitz 1990). Most values are supported by 

laboratory analyses. Nutrient values not available from laboratory analysis were 

imputed from data for other forms of the food or from data for similar foods. Values 

for most of the components have a relatively strong research base. However, 

analytical data for vitamin E are somewhat limited. The values in the data base for 

carotenes are those used by USDA in arriving at the values for total vitamin A and 

are not solely beta-carotene. 

Methodology for determining total folate content of foods isinadequate (Beecher 

and Matthews 1990). The current microbiological method approved by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists International applies only to foods that contain 

the free forms of the vitamin. Data generated by USDA for Agricultural Handbook 

Number 8 were obtained by a modified method using enzymes to release bound 

forms. Recent research on determining the folate content of high-protein and highcarbohydrate foods indicates that additional improvements in methodology are 

needed (Martin et al. 1990). 

Nutrient intakes in CSFII 1989-91, compared with those of earlier surveys, reflect 

improved data as well as changes in the nutrient content of foods attributable to 

new varieties and species, to new fortification levels, and to changes in foodindustry practices. A notable nutrient-data improvement resulted in a decrease in 

the values for cholesterol content in eggs. This change was incorporated into the 

nutrient data base before analysis of the 1987-88 Nationwide Food Consumption 

Survey. Comparisons of results between the CSFII 1989-91 and surveys prior to 

1987 should take this improvement into account. For example, the cholesterol 

intake by women 19 to 50 years of age in the 1985 CSFII was estimated to be 280 

milligrams per day; the newer cholesterol value for eggs would lower that estimate 

by about 9 percent. 

Data eleaning: Data were subjected to computer-assisted cleaning and editing. As a 

check for reasonableness, individuals' intakes of food energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, calcium, iron, and vitamin C were compared with the 2d and 98th percentiles 

for individuals of the same age group and sex in the NFCS 1987-88. Also, the 

weight of each food reported was checked against reasonable maximums established by USDA on a food-group basis. 

Data that fell outside the limits set as reasonable were verified by checking the 

original questionnaire and were corrected by USDA if in error. Additional data 

reviews for reasonableness were performed by USDA staff. Range and logic checks 

were performed, as were numerous reviews of household characteristics, including 

extreme income values. 

Data Presentation 

Data tapes provided by the contractor were furttler processed by HNIS to generate 

the tables in this report. Because of the complex design of the survey, Survey Data 

Analysis (SUDAAN) software (Shah et al. 1993) was used to calculate means and 

235 
standard errors. SAS software (SAS Institute Inc. 1990) was used to manipulate the 

output from SUDAAN. Paradox for Windows software (Borland International Inc. 

1992a) was used to import the data into Quattro Pro for Windows table shells 

(Borland International Inc. 1992b). The estimates presented in the tables were 

calculated as follows: 

Federal poverty thresholds (used to calculate poverty status and income 

levels): Tables presentingresults by poverty status and by income level use household income for the previous calendar year expressed as a percentage of the Federal 

poverty thresholds adjusted for inflation (USDOC-BOC 1990b, 1991b, 1992). The 

household income is the household respondent's estimate of the total income from 

all sources, before taxes, of all household members for the calendar year before the 

interview. Each household's income was expressed as a percentage of the poverty 

threshold for households of the appropriate size. Individuals were then grouped 

according to their household income as a percentage of the poverty threshold. The 

poverty thresholds, provided by the Bureau of the Census, are given in text table 11.

Food intakes (tables 1.1A to 7.6B): The estimates of food intakes presented in the 

tables are weighted arithmetic means (averages) for the group of individuals 

identified in the stub. For each food group and subgroup identified in the column 

heads, quantities reported for each individual at all eating occasions were totaled 

and a weighted group mean was calculated. If no food from a specific food group 

or subgroup was reported on the survey day, that individual's total was zero; the 

zero was included in the calculation of the group mean. Therefore, the mean intake,~ 

in the tables include intake values for both users and nonusers. Mean intakes per 

user can be calculated by dividing the mean intake for a group of individuals by the 

percentage of individuals using food from that food group expressed as a decimal. 

For example, the mean intake per user of total fluid milk by men 20 to 29 years old 

can be determined as follows: 

229 grams fluid milk (from table 4.1A) = 429 grams of fluid 

0.533 (53.3 percent from table 4.1B) milk per user 

Nutrient intakes (tables 8.1 to 8.6): The estimated nutrient intakes presented in 

the tables are weighted arithmetic means (averages) for the group of individuals 

identified in the stub. For each nutrient or dietary component identified in the 

column head, intakes for each individual at all eating occasions were totaled, and a 

weighted group mean was calculated. The nutrient intakes presented in the tables 

do not include vitamin and mineral supplements or plain drinking water. Although 

data were collected on the frequency and type of vitamin and mineral supplements 

used, amounts were not obtained. Also, the sodium intake does not include sodium 

from salt added at the table. 

Nutrient intakes per 1,000 kilocalories (tables 9.1 to 9.6): See description under 

"Nutrient intakes" above. 

Nutrient intakes as percentages of 1989 Recommended Energy Allowances 

(PLEA) or Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) (tables 10.1 to 10.6): The 

nutritive values of food intakes as percentages of the REA or RDA were derived by 

dividing each individual's intake by the REA or RDA for the appropriate sex and 

age group (National Research Council 1989). Mean percentages for each age group 

were calculated. The REA and RDA are listed in text table 12. 

Food energy from protein, total fat, fatty acids, carbohydrate, and alcohol 

(tables 11.1 to 11.6): The percentage contributions of protein, fat, fatty acids, 

carbohydrate, and alcohol to food energy intake were calculated by multiplying 

each individual's intake of protein by 4 kilocalories per gram, fat and fatty acids by 

9 kilocalories per gram, carbohydrate by 4 kilocalories per gram, and alcohol by 7 

236 
kilocalories per gram. These values were divided by the individual's total food 

energy intake and multiplied by 100 to obtain the percentage of an individual's total 

food energy intake provided by each nutrient. Individual percentages were totaled 

and divided by the number of individuals in the group to obtain the mean percentage per individual for that group. The general factors (4, 9, 4, and 7) cited above 

give estimates for a typical mixed diet and thus are not appropriate for use with 

diets of infants (Merrill and Watt 1973).

APPENDIX C. FOOD MIXTURES 

Many foods are mixtures of two or more ingredients. For example, tuna casserole is 

a mixture of tuna, noodles, milk, and other ingredients. Food mixtures reported in 

the CSFII as a single item are usually coded as a single item and tabulated under 

the food group and (if applicable) subgroup of the major ingredient. Tuna is 

considered to be the major ingredient of tuna casserole, so the casserole is tabulated 

under the food group "total meat, poultry, and fish" and under the.subgroup 

"mixtures mainly meat, poultry, or fish" (meat mixtures). 5 Thus, the secondary 

ingredients in the casserole (for example, noodles and milk) are included in the 

meat, poultry, and fish table rather than in the tables where they would appear if 

each ingredient were reported and coded separately. 

USDA has developed a Food Grouping System for breaking down mixtures into 

their component parts. The Food Grouping System disaggregates mixtures using 

information from the Recipe File for release 7 of the USDA Nutrient Data Base for 

Individual Food Intake Surveys (USDA-HNIS 1992c) plus additional files on items 

that are listed in the Recipe File as ingredients but are mixtures themselves (for 

example, soups). For this appendix, foods classified as grain mixtures and meat 

mixtures in tables in the main body of this report were disaggregated, and their 

ingredients were reclassified into 22 food groups and subgroups (tables C 1 and 

C2). 

Food mixtures other than grain mixtures and meat mixtures were not disaggregated 

for this appendix. For example, in the main tables of this report, the intake from the 

food group "nuts and seeds" includes some bread and jelly from peanut butter and 

jelly sandwiches coded as a single item. Similarly, mayonnaise that was an ingredient in potato salad coded as a single item is represented in the intakes of"total 

vegetables" and "white potatoes" but not in the intake of "fats and oils." 

For tables C 1 and C2, grain mixtures and meat mixtures were disaggregated to a 

level of detail comparable to foods included in the other food subgroups in tables 

1. IA through 7.6A. For example, breads that were part of sandwiches were 

separated from the mixture as bread, not as flour, water, and leavening. Fried 

chicken eaten as part of a frozen plate meal classified as a meat mixture was not 

s See Survey Table Notes for a list of which foods are classified in specific food groups and 

subgroups. 

disaggregated into the ingredients chicken, shortening, and batter, because the 

poultry subgroup includes batter-dipped fried chicken. For this reason, the food 

groups in this appendix still include some combined foods as well as discrete food 

items. 

The examples below illustrate how adjusted intakes can be calculated using 

ingredient data from grain mixtures and meat mixtures. Both examples use data 

from the "All individuals" row of the survey tables in the main body of this report 

and in the appendix C tables. The adjusted intake of meat, poultry, and fish is 27 

percent less than the unadjusted intake. On the other hand, the adjusted intake of 

vegetables is 26 percent higher than the unadjusted intake. 

Example 1: Adjusted intake of meat, poultry, and fish 

Total meat, poultry, and fish (table 5.1A) ........... 191 grams 

Subtract mixtures mainly meat, poultry, fish 

(table 5.1A) .................................................... - 90 grams 

Add total meat, poultry, and fish ingredients from: 

--grain mixtures (table C1) ........................... + 7 grams 

--meat mixtures (table C2) ............................ + 32 grams 

Adjusted intake of total meat, poultry, and fish .. 140 grams 

Example 2: Adjusted intake of vegetables 

Total vegetables (table 2.1A) .............................. 179 grams 

Add vegetable ingredients from: 

--grain mixtures (table CI) ........................... + 21 grams 

--meat mixtures (table C2) ............................ + 25 grams 

Adjusted intake of total vegetables ..................... 225 grams 

Adjusted totals in both of these examples still include foods other than those 

indicated by .the group name. For example, the adjusted total meat, poultry, and fish 

intake still includes breading and fat from fried cuts or parts, and the adjusted total 

vegetable intake includes sauce from creamed vegetable dishes. Also, the adjusted 

amounts may exclude small amounts of meat or vegetables that are components in 

mixtures not broken down for this analysis because they were not classified as grain 

mixtures or meat mixtures--for example, potato salad with bacon or tomatoes in a 

grilled cheese sandwich. 

Four food groups and water account for most of the weight of mixtures (tables C 1 

and C2); the groups are meat, poultry, and fish; vegetables; grain products; and 

milk and milk products. As shown in text table 13, grain products accounted for 31 

percent of the weight of grain mixtures; and meat, poultry, and fish provided 36 

241 
percent of the weight of meat mixtures. However, more than half of the weight of 

each of the mixtures subgroups was from the total of the other food groups, and 16 

and 11 percent were water. 

Tables C3A to C4B provide information on the types of grain and meat mixtures 

reported in the survey.

Notes for Tables in Appendix C 

Mixtures mainly grain and mixtures mainly meat, poultry, fish broken 

down into 22 food groups (tables C1 and C2) 

Data in these tables represent the total intakes of grain mixtures and meat mixtures 

broken down into their ingredients. Ingredients were classified into 8 major food 

groups (for example, vegetables) and 13 subgroups (for example, tomatoes). 

In general, the foods included in the food groups and subgroups in tables C1 and 

C2 were the same as those included in the food groups and subgroups with identical 

names in the tables in the main body of this report (see Table Notes). Two exceptions exist. By definition, in tables C1 and C2, "mixtures mainly grain" is not a 

subgroup of "total grain products"; and "mixtures mainly meat, poultry, fish" is not 

a subgroup of "total meat, poultry, and fish" One major food group (legumes, nuts, 

and seeds) and one subgroup (lamb, veal, game, and organ meats) that appear in 

tables C 1 and C2 were each formed by collapsing two groups that appear in the 

main body of this report. 

Water used as an ingredient in grain mixtures and meat mixtures has also been 

tabulated. Beverages (such as wine), sugars, seasonings, and leavening agents used 

as ingredients in mixtures are not included in these tables, but they collectively 

accounted for 1 gram or less of the mean intakes of grain mixtures and of meat 

mixtures for all individuals.
