High-protein and mindful eating were the most common eating patterns or diets followed in the United States in 2024. Some ** percent and ** percent of survey respondents followed these eating patterns in the past year, respectively. Other popular eating patterns included calorie-counting and plant-based diets.

Protein consumption A survey in the United States found that around ** percent of respondents made an effort to incorporate protein into their daily meals to maintain a balanced diet. Some ** percent mentioned they did this with the goal of enhancing their physical appearance. That same year, around ** percent of participants reported trying to include protein in their dinners, while significantly fewer respondents aimed to add it to their breakfast. Under **** percent said they do not try to incorporate protein into their diet.

Plant-based products The market for meat and dairy substitutes produced using plant-based products has grown in recent years, alongside the changing dietary preferences of consumers. The revenue of the meat substitutes market in the U.S. experienced growth of almost ** percent in 2021. Growth has since subsided, but is forecast to remain positive until 2029.

The China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) was designed to examine the effects of the health, nutrition, and family planning policies and programs implemented by national and local governments and to see how the social and economic transformation of Chinese society is affecting the health and nutritional status of its population. The impact on nutrition and health behaviors and outcomes is gauged by changes in community organizations and programs as well as by changes in sets of household and individual economic, demographic, and social factors. CHNS covers nine provinces that vary substantially in geography, economic development, public resources, and health indicators.

Three days' worth of detailed household food consumption information is collected. In addition, individual dietary intake for three consecutive days is collected for every household member, irrespective of age or relationship to the household head. Adults and children receive detailed physical examinations that included weight, height, arm and head circumference, mid-arm skinfold measurements, and blood pressure (for children age 7 and older and all adults). Limited clinical nutrition and physical functioning data have been collected since 1993. Activities of daily living and related information for older adults and a new set of physical activity and inactivity data have been added for all respondents since 1997

This study is the fourth in a series that uses the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data to examine the relationship between SNAP participation and indicators of diet quality, nutrition, and health. As in previous studies, this study compares SNAP participants with income-eligible and higher income nonparticipants, by age and gender.

The National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) Rolling Programme (RP) began in 2008 and is designed to assess the diet, nutrient intake and nutritional status of the general population aged 1.5 years and over living in private households in the UK. (For details of the previous NDNS series, which began in 1992, see the documentation for studies 3481, 4036, 4243 and 5140.)

The programme is funded by Public Health England (PHE), an executive agency of the Department of Health, and the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The NDNS RP is currently carried out by a consortium comprising NatCen Social Research (NatCen) (NatCen, contract lead) and the MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge (scientific lead). The MRC Epidemiology Unit joined the consortium in November 2017. Until December 2018, the consortium included the MRC Elsie Widdowson Laboratory, Cambridge (former scientific lead). In Years 1 to 5 (2008/09 – 2012/13) the consortium also included the University College London Medical School (UCL).

Survey activities at the MRC Epidemiology Unit are delivered with the support of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre (IS-BRC-1215- 20014), comprising the NIHR BRC Nutritional Biomarker Laboratory and NIHR BRC Dietary Assessment and Physical Activity Group. The NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre is a partnership between Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Cambridge, funded by the NIHR.

This study was a follow-up of National Diet and Nutrition Survey Rolling Programme (NDNS RP) participants and aimed to describe, and assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on, the diet and physical activity of people in the UK in 2020. Self-reported diet and physical activity data was collected between August and October 2020 for around 1,000 adults and children which was compared with their diet and activity data obtained at the time of their original NDNS RP interview. Data on food security, financial security and changes in dietary and health-related behaviours since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK in February 2020 were also collected in this study (but not previously in the NDNS RP) through a web questionnaire with the aim of helping to understand the context for any changes in diet and activity. Participants were also asked to complete 4 online dietary recalls over a 2 to 3 week period to assess their current diet. This was compared with their reported diet when originally assessed in the NDNS RP (on average 2 years 7 months earlier). Adults were also asked to complete a Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire (RPAQ), again to compare with their reported physical activity when originally assessed in the NDNS RP.

The Diet and Nutrition Survey of Infants and Young Children (DNSIYC) was commissioned by the Department of Health (DH) and Food Standards Agency (FSA). The programme was carried out by a consortium of four organisations: Medical Research Council (MRC) Human Nutrition Research, based in Cambridge, NatCen Social Research, based in London, MRC Epidemiology Unit, based in Cambridge and the Human Nutrition Research Centre at Newcastle University. Fieldwork in Northern Ireland was carried out by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA).

The aims of the DNSIYC were to:

• provide detailed, quantitative information on the food and nutrient intakes, sources of nutrients, and nutritional status of a representative sample of infants and young children aged 4 to 18 months from the UK population, as a basis for developing government policy and measuring progress towards other government objectives
• provide detailed, quantitative information on breast milk and breast milk substitutes consumed
• describe the characteristics of participants with intakes and/or status of specific nutrients that are above and below national reference values, and evaluate the diet of this population compared to current national recommendations
• produce a database of food consumption to provide the basis for the calculation of likely dietary intakes of natural toxicants, contaminants, additives and other food chemicals for risk assessment
• provide length (height), weight and other body measurements and examine their relationship with dietary intake and status, and health and social factors
• examine the extent to which feeding practices adopted by carers differ from national policy for infant health
• provide some information on the dietary habits of the mother (and other key family members) and link this to the nutrient intakes and nutritional status of this population group
• carry out stable isotopically-labelled water assessment in sub-samples of the survey group in order to estimate breast milk intake and body composition in children consuming any breast milk, as well as fluid intake and body composition in non-breastfed children
• measure blood indices that give evidence of nutritional status and relate these to dietary, physiological and social data

This study can be used alongside data from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (available from the UK Data Service under GN 33275), which covers adults and children of all ages from 18 months, to provide a fuller picture of the diet, health and food safety of the nation.

October 2013: temporary embargo ended and new edition released
For the second edition (October 2013), new versions of the day-level, food-level and person-level dietary data files were deposited. The person-level dietary file was corrected because food group values had been found to be totals from the first day, and not the mean value. It was also found that in some circumstances, water used to make up foods and formulas had not been assigned to the relevant food group (food or formula). This was corrected, which meant that the total consumption of the food groups ‘COMMERCIALTODDLERSFOODSWATER’ and ‘INFANTFORMULAWATER’ were then reduced to zero; these variables have therefore been removed from both the person-level file and the daily food groups file. The documentation variable listing has been amended accordingly. A single coding error that caused changes to the food, person-level and day-level foods has also been corrected. The user guide has also been updated.

This table contains 10080 series, with data for years 1990 - 1998 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years), and was last released on 2007-01-29. This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (30 items: Austria; Belgium; Belgium (French speaking);Belgium (Flemish speaking) ...), Sex (2 items: Males; Females ...), Age group (3 items: 11 years;15 years;13 years ...), Activity (12 items: Eating fruit; Eating potato chips; crisps; Eating raw vegetables; Eating candy; chocolate bars ...), Frequency (5 items: More than once a day; Once a day; Seldom; At least once a week ...).

In the United Kingdom, the diet and nutritional status of the general population is
monitored by the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) programme (held at the UK Data Archive under GN 33275). Results from the NDNS surveys indicate that differences exist in food consumption and nutritional status between lower and higher social economic groups.

The Low Income Diet and Nutrition Survey (LIDNS) was commissioned to provide for the first time robust, nationally representative, baseline data on food consumption, nutrient intake and nutritional status and factors affecting these in low-income/materially-deprived consumers. Data were collected between 2003 and 2005 and the survey report was published in July 2007. The survey included over 3,700 adults and children throughout the UK and had a number of components. It collected detailed quantitative information on food consumption, which was used to assess nutrient intakes. Physical measurements (e.g. height, weight, blood pressure) were also taken, and a blood sample for analysis of nutritional status indices. Finally, information on socio-economic, demographic and lifestyle characteristics was collected in a detailed interview and assessments of physical activity and oral health were made by questionnaire.

Specific aims of LIDNS were to

• provide quantitative data on the food and nutrient intakes, sources of nutrients and nutritional status of low-income groups
• describe the characteristics of individuals with intakes of specific nutrients above or below the national average
• assess the diets of low-income consumers to determine the extent to which they are sufficiently nutritious
• evaluate the extent to which the diets of low-income consumers vary from expert recommendations
• provide physical measurements of health-related factors closely associated with diet, namely height, weight and other anthropometric measurements and blood pressure for a representative sample of low-income individuals
• measure blood indices that provide evidence of nutritional status or dietary biomarkers
• assess physical activity levels of low-income groups
• provide basic information on smoking and oral health status in relation to diet
• examine the relationship between dietary intake and factors affecting food choice in low-income groups
• examine possible relationships between diet and risk factors in later life.

This dataset includes data on policy and environmental supports for physical activity, diet, and breastfeeding. This data is used for DNPAO's Data, Trends, and Maps database, which provides national and state specific data on obesity, nutrition, physical activity, and breastfeeding.
