Description:

The Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals was conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Survey began in 1985 and was repeated in 1986. In both years the survey included an all income sample and a low-income sample. The all income sample was a nationally representative and included about 1,500 women 19 to 50 years in each year and their children 1 to 5 years (about 550 children in each year). A sample of 1,100 men age 19 to 50 years of age was included in 1985 only. The low-i ncome sample was nationally representative and included about 2,100 women in 1985 and about 1,300 women in 1986 and about 1,300 children 1 to 5 years in 1985 and 800 children in 1986. Food intake data were collected on 6 nonconsecutive days at intervals of approximately 2 months over a 1-year period. The first day of intake was collected using an in-person interview; subsequent days of data were collected by telephone when possible. A 1-day dietary recall was used for all intakes.
