What is RSS?This survey, of a national sample of adults aged 19 to 64 years, is one of a programme of national surveys with the aim of gathering information about the dietary habits and nutritional status of the British population. The results of the survey will be used to develop nutrition policy and to contribute to the evidence base for Government advice on healthy eating.
The reports are available to purchase from The Stationery Office bookshops, by ordering online (see the link below) or by calling 0870 600 5522.
The series covers foods consumed and nutrient intakes derived from analysis of dietary records, nutritional status derived from analysis of blood samples, physical measurements and physical activity.

Back to topAs part of the Agency's review of the evidence of the health impacts of trans fats, a new estimate of trans fat intake was made in November 2007 using food consumption data from the 2000/01 National Diet and Nutrition Survey of adults aged 19-64 years and information provided by the food industry on current levels of trans fats in processed food categories.

The National Diet and Nutrition Survey programme is a joint initiative between the Food Standards Agency and the Department of Health (DH).
This chapter gives details of response to each of the main components of the survey and describes the main characteristics of the responding sample (those who completed the dietary interview) and the diary sample (those who completed a full seven-day dietary record).
