Nationwide Food Consumption Survey. Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII): Low-Income Women 19-50 Years and Their Children 1-5 Years, 4 Days, 1986

摘要

The publication presents 4-day dietary data for low-income women 19 to 50 years of age and their children 1 to 5 years of age in the 48 conterminous States. The data were collected on 4 nonconsecutive days over a 1-year period from April 1986 through March 1987 as part of the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Each day's data were collected using a 1-day recall. The first day's data were collected in a personal interview; subsequent days' data were collected by telephone when possible. Major results are summarized. Food intakes are aggregated in 10 food groups and 50 subgroups and are tabulated for total food and for food obtained and eaten away from home for women and children by age group, by household income level, by region, and by Food Stamp Program status. Mean quantities of foods eaten per individual per day and the percentages of individuals who reported eating any food from the specified food groups and subgroups during any of the 4 days are presented. Also presented are tables of the nutrient densities of diets (intakes of nutrients per 1,000 kilocalories); the percentages of total food energy from protein, total fat, fatty acids, and carbohydrate; the frequency of reporting of breakfast, snacks, and food eaten away from home; and nutrient contributions of breakfast, snacks, and food eaten away from home.
