These data represent mean intake, on a given day, estimates of nutrients from foods and beverages from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

MyPyramid Food Data provides information on the total calories; calories from solid fats, added sugars, and alcohol (extras); MyPyramid food group and subgroup amounts; and saturated fat content of over 1,000 commonly eaten foods with corresponding commonly used portion amounts. This information is key to help consumers meet the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and manage their weight by understanding how many calories are consumed from "extras." CNPP has created an interactive tool from this data set available on the web at MyFood-a-pedia.gov. A mobile version is coming soon to provide consumers with assistance on-the-go.

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.

SuperTracker was an online tool offered by USDA (2011-2018) that helped users track diet, physical activity and weight. SuperTracker provided a personalized plan based on the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans for what you should eat and drink and guided users to making better choices. This dataset includes the SuperTracker source code (latest update April 2018), including: front end application, database schema, documentation, deployment scripts and a ReadMe.txt file that provides high level instructions for the source code. Database connection strings and actual data are not included. The full foods database spreadsheet is attached as well; these foods are based on the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS), and the Food Patterns Equivalents Database (FPED), both from the USDA/ARS Food Surveys Research Group.

It is important to note that the code is based on 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and will not be updated to reflect future guidance. In addition, the food database is based on FNDDS from 2011-2012 (FNDDS 6.0) and FPED from 2011-2012 and will not be updated with future data releases.

This dataset includes data on adult's diet, physical activity, and weight status from Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. 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.

This dataset contains policy data for 50 US states and DC from 2001 to 2017. Data include information related to state legislation and regulations on nutrition, physical activity, and obesity in settings such as early care and education centers, restaurants, schools, work places, and others. To identify individual bills, use the identifier ProvisionID. A bill or citation may appear more than once because it could apply to multiple health or policy topics, settings, or states. As of Q 2 2016, data include only enacted legislation.

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.

This dataset includes breastfeeding data from the National Immunization Survey (NIS). 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.

DNA samples were collected in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III; 1988-1994) and in subsequent NHANES cycles (1999-2002, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, and 2011-2012). The program is a nationally representative collection of stored DNA samples and genetic data and will serve to add to the extensive amount of health, nutritional, and environmental information collected from NHANES. Resulting genetic variants are deposited into the NHANES Genetic Data Repository. These datasets are categorized as restricted data since they contain identifiable information.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States. The survey is unique in that it combines interviews with standardized physical examinations and laboratory tests.

NHANES was conducted on a periodic basis from 1971 to 1994. In 1999 NHANES became continuous. Every year, approximately 5,000 people of all ages are interviewed in their homes and complete the health examination conducted in a mobile examination center.

The NHANES interview includes demographic, socioeconomic, dietary, and health-related questions. The examination component consists of medical, dental, and physiological measurements, as well as the collection of biospecimens, such as blood and urine for laboratory testing.

This set of restricted data contains indirect identifying and/or sensitive information collected in continuous NHANES since 1999. Please refer to the links below for additional data available from NHANES:
