| Annotation | Commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) and the Department of Health (DoH), and carried out by Social and Community Planning Research (SCPR) and the (Medical Research Council) MRC Dunn Nutrition Unit, the dental hospitals of the Universities of Birmingham and Newcastle and the Department of Epidemiology of the University of London, this research forms part of the the National Diet and Nutrition Survey. Set up in 1992, the surveys cover representative groups of the population, and examines the diet of the over 65s in terms of actual dietary intake, habits, energy and nutrient intakes. The data presented in this summary article are generally for those living at home, with some findings indicated for those in institutions. Regional and socio-economic comparisons are made. The complete dataset for this survey is being deposited at the Data Archive at the University of Essex, and will be available to researchers. (RH). |
