Objectives

This report presents national

estimates of dietary intakes of

macronutrients, micronutrients, and

other dietary constituents for persons 2

months and older, by sociodemographic

variables.

Methods

The third National Health and

Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES

III) (1988–94), the source of these data,

was designed to provide information on

the health and nutritional status of the

civilian noninstitutionalized U.S.

population. The analytic sample for

these analyses included 29,105

participants with complete and reliable

dietary recalls.

Results

This report provides mean, median,

and standard error of the mean dietary

intake data for the U.S. population,

1988–94. Dietary intake estimates were

derived from NHANES III 24-hour recall

data. Foods reported during the survey

were coded using the U.S. Department

of Agriculture (USDA) Survey Nutrient

Database (SNDB) and the University of

Minnesota Nutrition Coordinating Center

(NCC) data. Food composition values

for macronutrients, vitamins, minerals,

and other food components are based

on SNDB and NCC data.

Conclusions

Data on nutrient intakes are a crucial

piece of information toward the

determination of total dietary intake.

Together with anthropometric and

laboratory data, information on nutrient

intake can be used to assess nutritional

status and elucidate the relationship

between nutrition and health.

Introduction

Dietary guidance, food

fortification policy, nutrition

intervention and evaluation

programs, and national nutrition and

health policy objectives targeting the

American diet require dietary intake

data. The link between food and health

has been well documented by numerous

studies and reports describing the impact

of dietary intake on disease prevention

and health promotion (1–4). This report

on the macronutrient and micronutrient

consumption of Americans, including

fats, carbohydrates, protein, minerals,

vitamins, dietary fiber and other

components, is based on information

collected from 1988–94 in the third

National Health and Nutrition

Examination Survey (NHANES III). The

survey was conducted by the National

Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),

Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC).

As a cornerstone of the National

Nutrition Monitoring and Related

Research Program, the National Health

and Nutrition Examination Surveys

(NHANES) are an important source of

periodic information on the dietary,

nutritional, and health status of the

civilian noninstitutionalized U.S.

population (5–9). NHANES data play a

unique role in nutrition monitoring and

epidemiologic research, combining

personal dietary interviews with

standardized health examinations (8–10).

The survey program began in 1960 with

three surveys of health status, which

were called the National Health

Examination Surveys (NHES) (11–13).

In 1970, an expanded nutrition

component was added to provide data

with which to assess nutritional status

and dietary practices, and the name was

changed to the National Health and

Nutrition Examination Survey (14–16).

A special survey of three Hispanic

subgroups living in the United States

was conducted during 1982–1984 (17).

The NHANES III is the seventh and

most recently completed NHANES.

Although nutrient intake

information for numerous nutrients has

been reported in the past, this report

provides data for the full 6 years of the

survey and includes updated national

reference data for total vitamin A,

The authors gratefully acknowledge the technical expertise and assistance of Dr. Ronette Briefel in

NHANES III planning, monitoring, and reporting findings from the NHANES III dietary assessment

component; Ms. Diane Arroyo for her expertise in planning and monitoring data collection activities and

interviewer training; and Dr. Catherine Loria for her contributions to the implementation of the data

collection protocol, DDC system file design process, and research involving recipes for ethnic foods,

particularly foods commonly reported by Mexican Americans. The report was edited by Klaudia M. Cox

retinol, and total carotenes, as well as

information on nutrients and food

constituents not previously reported:

individual carotenoids, trans fatty acids,

3-methylhistidine, and vitamin K. The

nutrient intakes in this file include

nutrients from foods and beverages

reported in the 24-hour dietary recall,

but not those obtained from other

sources (i.e., nutritional supplements,

antacids, medications, salt and

seasonings added to prepared foods at

the table, and plain drinking water).

Methods

Source of Data and

Survey Design

NHANES III used a stratified,

multistage design to provide a

representative probability sample of the

civilian noninstitutionalized population

ages 2 months and older of the United

States. The survey was conducted from

October 1988 through October 1994,

and was designed as two 3-year phases,

each constituting a national probability

sample. The 6-year sample, also a

national probability sample, provides

more statistically reliable estimates due

to its larger size. Subgroups of the

population were oversampled to allow

increased precision in estimates for

these groups, including black people,

Mexican-Americans, children 2 months

to 5 years, and persons 60 years and

older. A detailed description of sample

design specifications is included in the

Plan and Operation of the Third

National Health and Nutrition

Examination Survey, 1988–1994 (18,19).

The survey included an interview

conducted in the household and an

examination at a mobile examination

center (MEC). Information obtained

during the interview included individual

characteristics such as sex, age,

self-reported race and ethnicity, years of

education completed, and household

income. The interviewer also asked

questions about selected health conditions

and behaviors, including information

about smoking and use of vitamin or

mineral supplements. The examination

consisted of a variety of physical

measurements and a phlebotomy.

The MEC examination also

included an additional interview in a

more private setting than the household

to allow for more personal or sensitive

questions. The 24-hour recall interview

was conducted during the MEC exam. A

detailed description of the data

collection methods for the survey has

been published elsewhere (20).

Response Rates

Table A includes the response rates

for the dietary component. Eighty-six

percent of respondents completed the

interviews and 78 percent of all sample

persons completed the health and

nutrition examinations. Respondents

with incomplete recalls (n=586) and

breastfeeding infants and children

(n=300) were excluded from all

analyses; 317 persons were not

interviewed due to refusals,

communication problems, survey

operation reasons such as lack of time,

or a lack of knowledge by the proxy of

what the examinee ate the day before.

No attempt was made to impute missing

data. The analytic sample is comprised

of 29,105 respondents who had

complete and reliable recalls. This

represents 94 percent of the examined

sample (29,105/30,818) or 73 percent of

all sample persons (29,105/39,695). Two

individuals who fasted are included in

the sample.

Dietary Data Collection

Methodology

Prior to NHANES III, 24-hour

recalls were recorded on hard copy

forms and manually coded by dietary

interviewers. The NHANES III dietary

assessment component was designed

with input from experts in the fields of

nutrition, public health, biostatistics, and

epidemiology to meet the survey’s

nutrition monitoring and nutrition

research objectives (10,18,21,22).

The 24-hour recall method was

selected for use in NHANES III to

estimate detailed quantitative nutrient

intake for the population and various

subgroups and to study diet-health

relationships (8–10,21,22). In 1988,

NCHS contracted with the University of

Minnesota’s Nutrition Coordinating

Center (NCC) to develop an automated,

interactive dietary interview and coding

system called the NHANES III Dietary

Data Collection (DDC) system (23–25).

NCHS, the National Heart, Lung and

Blood Institute of the National Institutes

of Health, and the Food and Drug

Administration funded the development

of the DDC system. The DDC system

features include a standardized interview

format and automated probes to obtain

detailed information about foods such as

brand names, food preparation methods,

and ingredients used in food preparation,

particularly ingredients that contribute

fat and sodium.

This report provides data for the

U.S. population’s intake of

macronutrients (the primary contributors

to energy intake, which include total

carbohydrate, total fat, protein, and

alcohol) and minerals, vitamins, dietary

fiber, and other food components for

persons 2 months of age and over. Daily

dietary estimates are reported by age

and gender for the total population for

three race-ethnic groups: non-Hispanic

white, non-Hispanic black, and Mexican

American, and by income status.

Respondents reported all foods and

beverages consumed, except plain

drinking water, over the previous

24-hour time period (midnight to

midnight). Foods and beverages were

quantified using food specific units (e.g.,

a large-size egg or medium-size apple),

abstract food models, shape charts, and

measurement aids such as rulers and

household measuring cups and spoons.

Dietary interviews were conducted

in English (84 percent), Spanish

(13 percent), and English/Spanish or

other languages (1 percent). The

NHANES III Dietary Interviewer’s

Training Manual provides details

for all aspects of the 24-hour recall

protocol (20). Dietary interviewers were

required to have a college degree in

foods and nutrition. A majority of the

interviewers were bilingual in English

and Spanish.

During the survey, approximately

67 percent of all dietary interviews were

completed by the respondent, 28 percent

by a proxy respondent, and 3 percent by

the respondent and a proxy. Proxy

respondents were utilized for infants and

children 2 months–5 years and for other

respondents who were unable to report

on their own. Children 6–11 years of

age were permitted to report their own

food intake; some interviews in this age

group were completed by a proxy or a

combination of the child and a proxy.

Data retrieval with daycare providers

and schools was conducted as necessary

to obtain complete intakes for infants

and children. All 24-hour recall

interviews were conducted in the mobile

examination centers (MEC’s); the

examination schedules included all days

of the week. The distribution of day of

the week for the 24-hour period

(midnight to midnight) in which the

examinee consumed the foods and

beverages reported in the 24-hour recall

was: Sunday, 9 percent; Monday,

9 percent; Tuesday, 10 percent;

Wednesday, 19 percent; Thursday,

18 percent; Friday, 25 percent; and

Saturday, 10 percent.

Nutrient Composition

Databases

Nutrient composition databases

provide detailed information about

nutrients and other constituents in food.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture

(USDA) Nutrient Data Laboratory

(NDL) is responsible for providing

information on the nutrient content of

foods consumed in the United States.

NDL develops and maintains a number

of different databases including the

USDA Nutrient Database for Standard

Reference (SR) and the Primary Data

Set for USDA Nationwide Food Surveys

(PDS). SR and PDS nutrient data are the

core data for many domestic and foreign

databases, including commercial

databases such as the University of

Minnesota’s Nutrition Coordinating

Center (NCC) database. The PDS

contains nutrient values for over 3,150

food items including all ingredient items

used in USDA survey recipe

calculations. The PDS is used to

develop the Survey Nutrient Database

(SNDB) for the USDA Continuing

Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals

(CFSII).

The SNDB files have been the

primary food and nutrient data source

for NHANES since 1982. USDA

provided two nutrient composition data

files to NCHS (28); separate USDA

nutrient composition data files were

used to process the NHANES III Phase

1 (1988–91) and Phase 2 (1991–94)

dietary data. Each USDA file contained

food composition values for

approximately 30 nutrients that were

appropriate for the time period during

which the NHANES III data were

collected. NCHS also used data

compiled by the University of

Minnesota, Nutrition Coordinating

Center (NCC), to process the NHANES

III dietary files (29). The linkage to the

NCC database system made it possible

for NCHS to produce nutrient intake

estimates for more than 80 different

nutrients and food components. The

NCC database included individual

sugars and fatty acids, artificial

sweeteners, vitamin D, caffeine, and

many other food constituents that were

not available in the USDA database at

the time the NHANES III data were

processed. Additionally, NCC maintains

an extensive database of commercial

food products including commercial

table fats and oils, commercial entrees,

frozen meals, and baked goods. Specific

nutrient data for commercial food

products made it possible to report

brand names for many commercial food

products reported in NHANES III.

The linkages to the USDA and

NCC database systems required

extensive work on the part of NCC and

USDA staff. During the NHANES III

data preparation process, two versions of

the NHANES III data files were

produced. NCC developed the NHANES

III code generator program. The code

generator program processes the survey

interview data and assigns food codes

(USDA and NCC) and gram weights to

foods reported in the survey. The survey

interview data files were processed

using the USDA and NCC versions of

the code generator program. For

example, the NCC version produced

NCC food codes and food gram

weights; the NCC food codes linked

to the NCC food composition

database (29). Similarly, the USDA

versions of the database files were

produced using the USDA version of the

code generator program; the output from

the code generator was merged with the

USDA nutrient composition databases

used in NHANES III (28).

One feature of the NCC version of

the NHANES III code generator output

is that NHANES III data can be

processed using updated versions of the

NCC database. Updated versions of the

NCC nutrient composition database

were provided by NCC after the

NHANES III public release data files

were released in 1997 and 1998 (26,27).

NCHS used NCC database version 28 to

produce intake estimates for vitamin K

and 3-methylhistidine; NCC database

version 30 was used to produce revised

intake estimates for vitamin A, retinol,

Series 11, No. 245 [ Page 3
and carotenes expressed as beta carotene

equivalents, as well as new information

on trans fatty acids and individual

carotenoids.

Data Editing

NCHS staff reviewed and edited the

dietary interview data files. Editing

guidelines were developed by NCHS

staff in consultation with USDA and

NCC staff and other knowledgeable

sources, and NCHS staff prepared

guidelines to document data editing

decisions (30). Dietary interviewers

coded the quality of all 24-hour recall

interviews as ‘‘reliable,’’ ‘‘unreliable,’’

‘‘refusal,’’ or ‘‘not interviewed’’ (20). If

the respondent made a reasonable effort

to complete the 24-hour recall, it was

considered to be reliable. On the other

hand, if the respondent was confused or

had extraordinary difficulty recalling

foods and beverages consumed the day

before, the recall was coded

‘‘unreliable.’’ A ‘‘reliable’’ recall may

result in unusually high or low intakes

for various nutrients. For example, a

12–15-year-old non-Hispanic white male

consumed a large quantity of a highly

fortified cereal resulting in an extremely

high intake value for vitamin E and

some other nutrients. Data for this

person are included in the reference

tables shown in this report because the

recall data were determined to be

correct and ‘‘reliable.’’ There may be

situations where it would be appropriate

to exclude this or other outliers because

of the effect it would have on the

overall analysis and conclusions,

especially when sample sizes are small.

Quality Control and

Analytic Issues

A number of quality-control

monitoring techniques were employed

during the survey. The techniques for

monitoring the dietary interview

component included observations of

actual dietary interviews and reviews of

audiotaped interviews by NCHS and

contractor staff. In addition, the dietary

interviewers worked in two-person

teams; there was one team in each

MEC. The dietary interviewers

performed 10-percent cross-check

reviews of their partners’ work using

printed recall reports. Finally,

newsletters, field memoranda, telephone

calls, and staff retraining sessions were

other methods used to maintain quality

control during the survey. Refer to the

NHANES III Dietary Interviewer’s

Training Manual for the dietary

interview protocol (20).

The nutrient data reported in this

report are based on data collected on

over 445,000 foods reported by

NHANES participants between 1988

and 1994. Shortly after the tables for

this report were produced, NCHS was

informed of a problem with 50 of the

NHANES III food records. The problem

resulted from a data base error for a

particular type of danish pastry.

Incorrect nutrient values for the pastry

were generated for the NCC version of

the nutrient intakes file; the USDA

database nutrient values were not

affected. NCC nutrients for the 50 food

records were recalculated. It was not

feasible to run the nutrient and food

constituent tables again for this report.

NCHS evaluated the impact of the

erroneous records by comparing the mean

intakes with and without the incorrect

pastry data. The results showed that the

nutrient intakes of males in the 40–49

year age group were most affected.

However, the impact of the erroneous

records on mean intakes of energy, fat,

folate, and iron were not statistically

significant. Furthermore, the comparative

analysis did not alter the interpretation of

the data in this report. NCHS will provide

NHANES data users with a correction file

for future NHANES III analyses via the

NCHS/NHANES Web site.

Demographic Terms

In this report, age is defined as age

in years at the time of the household

interview. Age in years was defined as

the integer referring to age at last

birthday. For example, all children

10.00–10.99 would be defined as 10

years old. Information on self-reported

race and ethnicity was used to classify

persons as non-Hispanic white,

non-Hispanic black, Mexican American,

or other race-ethnic group. Separate

estimates are presented for non-Hispanic

white, non-Hispanic black, and Mexican

American only categories. Participants

of other race-ethnic groups are included

in the total or ‘‘all race-ethnic groups’’

category because there were not enough

of them to allow reliable estimates. The

categories of age and race-ethnicity used

for the tables in this report are based on

the sample design subdomains and are

those recommended for improved

precision of estimates in the NHANES

III Analytic Guidelines in the section

titled ‘‘Key Variables for Analysis’’ (19).

Poverty status was defined using the

poverty income ratio (PIR) and

categorized as below poverty level (PIR

less than 1.30) and at or above poverty

level (PIR of 1.30 or more). Poverty

income ratio is a calculated variable

based on income and family size using

tables published each year by the U.S.

Bureau of the Census (31). This variable

has been adjusted to account for

inflation and other factors. However, the

manner in which it is calculated has

changed slightly over time. The cutoff

point selected is consistent with that

used to determine eligibility for the

Food Stamp Program.

Statistical Methodology

Population means, medians, and

standard errors of the mean (SEM’s) for

nutrient intakes based on 1-day 24-hour

dietary recall data are presented in this

report. Standard errors of the mean were

computed using SUDAAN, a program

that takes into account the sampling

weights and complex sample design for

calculating variance estimates (32).

Sample weights are used to produce

accurate population estimates because

each sample person does not have the

same probability of selection. The

sample weights incorporate the

differential probabilities of selection and

include adjustments for oversampling of

certain populations, noncoverage, and

nonresponse. Sample weights for the

six-year sample are used to produce

estimates for all nutrients in the file.

Some nutrient estimates are, by

their nature, very skewed (for example,

alcohol, copper, iron, zinc, vitamin A,

carotenes, vitamin B12, and vitamin E).

This is because food and nutrient

intakes varies from day to day.

Page 4 [ Series 11, No. 245
Consumption of certain nutrients may be

very high or very low for some

individuals on a specific day, which

influences population distributions. For

non-normally distributed variables, the

means and standard errors of the means

for such variables, which assume

normality, should be used and

interpreted with caution.

Reliability of an estimated mean or

median also depends on the coefficient

of variation or relative standard error

(RSE), defined as the ratio of the

standard error of the estimate to the

estimate times 100. The larger the RSE

of the estimate, the less reliable the

estimate. In this report, estimates with

an RSE greater than 25 percent are

deemed unreliable. An asterisk on

certain estimates denotes data that are

not presented because criteria for

reliability or precision for reporting

were not met. The use of these criteria

follow recommendations described in

the NHANES III Analytic Guidelines in

the appendix titled ‘‘The Joint Policy on

Variance Estimation and Statistical

Reporting Standards on NHANES III

and CSFII Reports: HNIS/NCHS

Analytic Working Group

Recommendations’’ (19).

Results

The data tables provided in this

report were produced using food

composition data from the USDA

and NCC databases. All of the nutrients

reported in the USDA database were

included in the NCC database. In

general, the nutrient intake estimates

derived from USDA and NCC databases

were similar. An explanation for this

observation is provided. First, a high

percent of the NCC nutrient composition

data are based on USDA food

composition data. For example the

nutrient composition data for many

basic (termed ‘‘elemental’’) foods such

as flour, sugar, eggs, fresh fruits and

vegetables, and milk are similar in the

USDA and NCC databases. Second,

there is comparability in the USDA and

NCC versions of the databases used to

process NHANES III data. NCC

database nutritionists assigned USDA

food codes to the foods found in the

NCC database using the same database

decision-making process used to develop

the NCC database using NCC food

codes. When the NCC database was

linked to the USDA database, essentially

a ‘‘USDA version’’ of the NCC database

was produced; NCC database coding

methods were adapted so that USDA

food codes could be assigned to foods

and recipe ingredients. The end result is

that food formulation nutrient profiles

were similar, regardless of the database

version. There are a few exceptions to

this rule and these reflect true

differences in the database management

processes used by NCC and USDA.

However, the impact of these differences

was small in terms of their impact on

the NHANES III data reports. A

more detailed description of the

database linkage is provided in the

NHANES III foods files CD-ROM

documentation (27).

Tables 1–66 include national

reference estimates of intakes of energy,

macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and

other substances reported for persons 2

months of age and older using the

USDA Survey Nutrient Database

(SNDB). Tables 67–148 include those

nutrients and other substances for which

data from the University of Minnesota’s

Nutrition Coordinating Center (NCC)

were used.

In preparing this report, when

estimates could be produced with USDA

data, only estimates based on USDA

data are reported. When only the NCC

database provided information, estimates

based on NCC data were included in

this report. One exception is dietary fat

data. There are small differences

amounting to one or two grams (or less)

in the mean fat intake estimates derived

from the USDA and NCC databases.

Intake estimates derived using the

USDA database are typically lower than

the estimates produced using the NCC

database. The differences in the

estimates reflect differences in the fat

composition data for dietary fat sources,

recipe differences, and coding decisions

that were made to link and/or map foods

to the databases. Selected dietary intake

findings NHANES III, 1988–94 values

for means, standard errors of the means

(SEM), and medians are reported by age

and gender for the total population and

for three race/ethnicity groups:

non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black,

and Mexican American. They are also

reported by income (using Food Stamp

Program income cutoff points.)

Discussion

The NHANES III, 1988–94 data

updates NHANES II health and

nutrition data that were collected

between 1976–80. In NHANES I and

NHANES II, data were collected for

individuals ages 6 months to 74 years.

NHANES III included people ages 2

months and older (i.e., with no upper

age limit). For the first time, NHANES

data are available for young infants and

the very elderly. The data reported here

reflect changes in food consumption

patterns that have occurred since

NHANES I and NHANES II as well as

changes in dietary survey methodology,

survey food coding, and nutrient

composition database changes. All of

these complex factors should be

considered when comparing data

between two surveys. A brief summary

of the methodological and database

issues follows.

NHANES I and NHANES II

24-hour recalls were collected on paper

copy forms and manually coded by the

dietary interviewers whereas NHANES

III utilized an automated interview and

coding system. The automated system

provided a standardized interview

format and automated food probes. Food

coding was automated. This made the

interviewer’s work less tedious and

provided an expanded capability to

record more detailed information about

foods consumed. The NHANES III

foods database was much larger and

more diverse than the databases used in

previous NHANES. The DDC System

database included over 8,000 foods and

3,000 commercial products. Detailed

probes for recipe ingredients,

preparation ingredients such as fat and

salt, and ethnic foods provided a more

comprehensive and complete list of

foods consumed by respondents.

Rigorous database quality-control

procedures were maintained by USDA

Series 11, No. 245 [ Page 5
and NCC throughout the survey.

Nutrient data for foods were evaluated

systematically; new recipes were

developed and added to the databases,

including recipes for many Mexican

American foods; and new food weight

and volume data were incorporated into

the USDA and NCC databases.

Additionally, significant improvements

were made to the commercial foods data

to reflect the changing market. Hundreds

of foods having reduced fat, sodium,

and sugar content were added to the

USDA and NCC databases used for

NHANES III analysis (28,29).

Significant nutrient composition

database changes occurred after

NHANES II was completed. For

example, in 1989, the cholesterol

content of whole eggs was reduced by

22 percent due to updated nutrient

composition data (33). Other changes in

the database due to changes in the types

of fats and oils used to formulate many

foods, particularly commercial baked

goods, resulted in lower saturated fat

and cholesterol content for commonly

consumed foods. The survey recipe files

were changed following a

recommendation by the salt industry to

change the weight of table salt, a

common recipe ingredient, from 5.5

grams to 6 grams per teaspoon. The

nutrient composition databases used to

process the NHANES III data reflect

changes in the marketplace and in the

nutrient composition databases.

After NHANES II, considerable

research was completed to describe,

document, and quantify food

consumption underreporting in dietary

surveys. Studies documented that food

consumption is underreported by as

much as 25 percent and occurs more

often in women, overweight persons,

and weight-conscious persons (34,35).

The NHANES III automated interview

system and the dietary interview

protocol were designed to improve the

completeness and accuracy of the

dietary interview data. Dietary

interviewer training was redesigned and

expanded to provide the interviewers

with the skills and knowledge to

conduct bilingual interviews, probe for

recipe ingredients, and assist

respondents with dietary recall and

portion size estimation tasks. The

multiple pass approach used in

NHANES III and the use of systematic

probes for foods, including foods added

at the table, were designed specifically

to capture complete recall data. As a

final check for completeness, the

respondents were asked to review a list

of frequently forgotten foods.

Underreporting in NHANES III was

addressed as a research topic (36).

Ratios of energy intake (EI) to basal

metabolic rate (BMR) were calculated

for adults based on previously published

formulas (35). The findings suggest a

more complete reporting of intake in

NHANES III compared with NHANES

II. Underreporting in some groups,

however, particularly females and

overweight adults, must be considered in

interpreting dietary survey data.

Interpretation of the NHANES III

nutrient intake data requires some

qualifications. Because data are not age

adjusted, race-ethnic comparisons used

only age-specific estimates. Some

nutrient estimates are, by their nature,

very skewed (for example, copper, iron,

zinc, vitamin A, carotenes, vitamin B12,

and vitamin E). This is because food

and nutrient intake varies from day to

day. Consumption of certain nutrients

may be very high or very low for some

individuals on a specific day, which

influences population distributions. For

non-normally distributed variables, the

means and standard errors of the means,

which assume normality, should be used

and interpreted with caution.

These data constitute one the most

comprehensive compilations of nutrient

intake data on the U.S. population and

major population subgroups.

Intervention strategies aimed at reducing

the prevalence of nutrition-related

diseases, including designing nutrition

policies and nutrition education and

assistance programs, require effective

monitoring of what Americans are

eating. Nutrient reference data from the

third National Health and Nutrition

Examination Survey provide essential

information to achieve these goals.

Dietary Terms and

Calculation Procedures

USDA Database

Energy and nutrient intakes for

individuals were calculated using the

gram amounts of food consumed and

the USDA Survey Nutrient Database

(SNDB) nutrient values for the food

expressed per 100 grams of food (28).

The percent contributions of protein, fat

(including fatty acid components),

carbohydrate, alcohol, fiber, and

numerous micronutrients were

calculated.

Macronutrients—carbohydrates, fat,

protein, and alcohol. They are the

principal dietary sources of energy.

Total energy intake—measured in

kilocalories (kcal) and was calculated

from grams of daily intake of protein,

carbohydrate, fat, and alcohol. The

energy conversion factors used were 4

kcal per gram for protein and

carbohydrate, 9 kcal per gram for total

fat and fatty acids, and 7 kcal per gram

for alcohol (37).

Percents of energy intake—the total

kcal from each energy source that was

divided by the individual’s total energy

intake and multiplied by 100 to give the

percent contributions. Figures may not

add to 100 due to rounding.

Total carbohydrate—sugars and

complex carbohydrates. Sugars include

monosaccharides such as glucose and

fructose and disaccharides such as

sucrose, maltose, and lactose. Complex

carbohydrates (polysaccharides)

comprise starches and dietary fibers.

Total fat—saturated, polyunsaturated,

and monounsaturated fatty acids, nonfatty

acid components of fat such as glycerol,

phosphoric acid aminobases of

phospholipids, sterols (including

cholesterol), and fat-soluble vitamins.

Carotenes—vitamin A activity

derived from beta-carotene and other

provitamin A carotenoids expressed as

micrograms of retinol equivalents.

Dietary fiber—total dietary fiber,

including both the insoluble fraction

NCC Database

Energy, nutrient, and food

component intakes for individuals were

calculated using the gram amounts of

food consumed and the Nutrition

Coordinating Center (NCC) Nutrient

Composition Database, versions 15–30.

Nutrient values for foods are compiled

and reported by this database on a per

gram basis. The NCC nutrient and food

component variable descriptions listed

below were based on their

documentation (29).

Percent contributions of protein, fat

(including fatty acid components),

carbohydrate, alcohol, fiber, and

numerous micronutrients were

calculated.

Calories—a measure of food energy

and are expressed in kilocalories.

Published values are obtained from

chemical analyses or calculated using

specific fuel factors based on Atwater

coefficients for each food group. Values

approximate the following:

(4 X gm protein) + (9 X gm fat) +

(4 X gm available carbohydrate) +

(7 X gm alcohol)

Proximate Nutrients

Total fat—a mixture of

triglycerides, phospholipids, sterols, and

similar compounds. Values are

determined by chemical analyses and

are expressed in grams.

Total carbohydrate values—

calculated per 100 gm as the difference

between 100 and the sum of the

percents of water, protein, fat, ash, and

alcohol. Total carbohydrate is

approximately equal to the sum of

available carbohydrates (starch and

sugars) and dietary fiber. Values are

expressed in grams.

Total protein values—calculated

from total nitrogen content adjusted for

nonprotein nitrogen and using

conversion factors specific for each food

group. Values are expressed in grams.

Alcohol volume—converted to

weight by use of conversion factors

based on the specific gravity of alcohol.

Amounts are expressed in grams.

Ash—a measure of the residue

remaining after oxidation of a food in a

bomb calorimeter. It contains some, but

not all, of the minerals in the food.

Values are expressed in grams.

Water values—obtained from

chemical analyses and are expressed in

grams.

Animal protein—protein from

animal products and includes meats,

eggs, and dairy foods. Values are given

in grams.

Vegetable protein—the amount of

protein contributed by plant products

and is expressed in grams. The sum of

animal and vegetable protein in a food

equals the total protein of that food.

Amino acids—organic acids that are

the basic components of

protein. They are determined by

chromatographic or microbiological

methods. Values include both

protein-bound and free forms and are

expressed in grams. Eighteen amino

acids are presented; the field for cystine

includes cysteine as well.

3-Methy1histidine (3-MH)—an

amino acid found in both protein-bound

and soluble forms in animal tissue. The

NCC database contains values for only

protein-bound 3-MH, which is given in

milligrams. Protein-bound 3-MH is

Page 156 [ Series 11, No. 245
found at very consistent levels in the

skeletal muscles of a wide variety of

species and is only found in muscular

protein tissue.

Fatty acids—grouped as saturated

(no double bonds), monounsaturated

(one double bond), and polyunsaturated

(two or more double bonds). Values do

not include the glycerol portion of the

triglyceride or other fat-related

compounds. Therefore, the sum of fatty

acids is less than the total fat in the

food. Fatty acids are expressed by

number rather than by scientific name

(e.g., 18:1). The first number refers to

the number of carbon atoms in the fatty

acid chain, and the second number

refers to the number of double bonds

between carbon atoms. Fatty acid values

include all positional and geometric

isomers of the fatty acid. Values in the

database are in grams.

Trans fatty acids—geometrical

isomers of unsaturated fatty acids in

which double bonds are converted from

cis isomers where hydrogen atoms are

aligned on the same side of the carbon

chain to trans isomers where the

hydrogen atoms are oriented on opposite

sides. This transformation occurs most

frequently during hydrogenation of

vegetable oils to create solid or

semisolid fats. The database includes

16:1 trans, 18:1 trans, 18:2 trans

(trans-cis, cis-trans, and trans-trans) and

total trans fatty acids. Values are in

grams.

Sucrose—a disaccharide composed

of glucose and fructose moieties.

Sucrose values include sucrose used as

an ingredient in manufactured foods and

recipes as well as naturally occurring

sugars. Due to inversion, which may

occur during storage, sucrose values

were selected for foods stored under

normal conditions and time periods.

Values are expressed in grams.

Starch—dextrins and glycogen.

Values are in grams.

Total dietary fiber—unavailable

carbohydrates (cellulose, hemi cellulose,

pectins, gums, and muscilages) and

lignin. Values are obtained by chemical

analyses or from the sum of insoluble

dietary fiber and soluble dietary fiber.

Values are expressed in grams.

Insoluble dietary fiber—the portion

of dietary fiber determined by the

modified Van Soest neutral detergent

method. This includes cellulose, some

hemicellulose, and lignin. Values are in

grams.

Soluble dietary fiber values—

determined by chemical analyses or

calculated from the difference between

total dietary fiber and insoluble dietary

fiber. It includes pectins, gums,

muscilages, and some hemicellulose.

Values are in grams.

Pectins—included in soluble dietary

fiber. Values are obtained from chemical

analyses and are given in grams.

Mineral Values

amount in a food, although not all may

be available to the body. The values

generally do not include minerals

present in tap water used to prepare a

product.

Iron—both heme and nonheme iron

expressed in milligrams.

Selenium values—given in

micrograms. Values were selected that

are representative of foods grown in

locations where neither excesses nor

deficiencies of selenium are evident.

Sodium—naturally occurring sodium

in foods as well as that added during

food processing. It does not include

sodium from salt added at the table.

Sodium values are in milligrams.

Vitamins

Vitamin A—preformed vitamin A

(retinol) and provitamin A carotenoids

expressed as beta-carotene activity.

Values are analyzed or calculated from

the following:

I.U. vitamin A = (mcg retinol/0.3) +

(mcg beta-carotene equivalents/0.6)

RE vitamin A = mcg retinol +

(mcg beta-carotene equivalents/6)

Retinol—preformed vitamin A

found only in animal products. Values

are given in micrograms. 1 mcg retinol

provides 1 RE vitamin A or 3.33 I.U.

vitamin A.

Beta carotene equivalents— vitamin

A activity from the provitamin A

carotenoids: beta-carotene, alphacarotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin.

Beta-carotene equivalents are calculated

from the following:

mcg beta-carotene equivalents =

mcg beta-carotene + 1/2(mcg alpha

carotene + mcg beta-cryptoxanthin)

Values are expressed in micrograms.

6 mcg beta-carotene equivalents

provide 1 RE vitamin A or 10 I.U.

vitamin A.

Carotenoids—alpha-carotene,

beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin,

lutein+zeaxanthin, and lycopene.

Primary food sources are fruits and

vegetables. Only plants have the ability

to synthesize carotenoids, but animals

can utilize them from their feed and

store them in their tissues. Carotenoids

also may be added to foods for

coloration purposes. Alpha-carotene,

beta-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin

are vitamin A precursors, with

beta-carotene yielding twice the vitamin

A activity of the other two provitamin A

carotenoids. Carotenoid values are given

in micrograms.

Total alpha-tocopherol equivalents

(or vitamin E)—activity from alpha-,

beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol.

Values are expressed in milligrams of

alpha-tocopherol equivalents.

mg alpha-toc equivalents = mg

alpha-toc + (0.4 X mg beta-toc) +

(0. 1 X mg gamma-toc) + (0.01 X

mg delta-toc)

1 mg alpha-toc equivalents = 1.49

I.U. vitamin E.

Vitamin K values—vitamin K1

(phylloquinone), which is found in

natural food sources, but do not include

vitamin K2 (menaquinone), the form

synthesized by bacteria in the human

intestines. Generally, values are those

derived by high-performance liquid

chromatography and are reported in

micrograms.

Vitamin D—calciferol (vitamin D2)

and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Values

are expressed in micrograms. 0.025 mcg

vitamin D = 1 LU.

Vitamin C—total vitamin C

expressed as the activity of reduced

ascorbic acid. Values are in milligrams.

Pantothenic acid values—both free

and bound forms, which have been

determined by microbial assay or

Rhodymeniaceae. They are expressed in

milligrams.

pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and

pyridoxamine. Values are determined

using a microbiological method or by

liquid chromatography and are

expressed in milligrams.

Folate—a group of biologically

active compounds, pteroylmono

glutamic acid (PGA) and its derivatives.

Values include all forms of PGA, both

bound and free. Values selected are

those measured with L. casei using

conjugate treatment for release of bound

forms and ascorbic acid for protection

from oxidation. Amounts are given in

micrograms and were updated in

4.02–30 to reflect Federal fortification

regulations.

Vitamin B12—occurs in several

forms designated as cobalamin. Values

are generally those obtained by assay

with L. leishmanni. Vitamin B12 is

found only in animal products. Values

are expressed in micrograms.

Other Food Components

Cholesterol—a sterol associated

with animal fats. It is generally not

found in plant products. Values are

expressed in milligrams.

sweetener consisting of the amino acids

phenylalanine and aspartic acid and a

small amount of methanol. It is

marketed as NutraSweet. Values are

presented in milligrams.

Saccharin—a non-nutritive artificial

sweetener. Saccharin values are

expressed in milligrams.

Caffeine—given in milligrams.

Values do not include theobromine. The

caffeine value for brewed coffee

represents weighted averages of

automatic drip and percolated values

provided by the USDA database.

Phytic acid—a naturally occurring

plant constituent that functions as the

storage form of phosphorous for the

germinating seed. It is an inositol

phosphate consisting of a ring of six

phosphate ester groups. It is expressed

in milligrams in the database.

Oxalic acid—a dicarboxylic acid

found in most plant tissues; very little

occurs in animal products. It may be

present as sodium or potassium salts

(soluble oxalate) or as calcium oxalate

or other bound forms (insoluble

oxalate). Values in the database are in

milligrams.
