Provides easy access to national and state level CDC data on a range of key indicators of health and well-being for older adults, including caregiving, subjective cognitive decline, screenings and vaccinations, and mental health. These indicators provide a snapshot of currently available surveillance information and can be useful for prioritization and evaluation of public health interventions.
Enables multiple, automatically coded, self-administered 24-hour recalls. The ASA24 system is freely available for use by researchers, clinicians, and teachers.
The nation’s premier system of health-related telephone surveys that collect state data about U.S. residents regarding their health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services.
National trends data and key measures of progress in cancer prevention and risk factors including tobacco, physical activity, diet, sun, environment, genetic testing, sleep, and weight.
Publicly available datasets relevant to childhood obesity research, including obesity-related health behaviors, outcomes, and determinants; and policies and environmental factors.
A freely available food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The most recent version, DHQ III, can be used by researchers, clinicians, or educators to assess food and dietary supplement intakes.
A tool to help researchers determine the best way to assess diet for any study in which estimates of group intakes are required.
An analytically validated database that provides estimated levels of ingredients in dietary supplement products sold in the United States. The DSID is intended primarily for research applications. These data are appropriate for use in population studies of nutrient intake rather than for assessing content of individual products.
An educational and research tool that provides full label information from dietary supplement products marketed in the United States.
A database and research tool that evaluates food and beverage intake of Americans with respect to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendation.
An integrated data system that provides expanded nutrient profile data and links to related agricultural, food, health, dietary supplement, and experimental research. FoodData Central is managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service.
Visualize data and locate information critical to understanding minority health, health disparities, and their determinants. Data are collected from public health surveillance systems by using either their published reports or public use files.
A measure of diet quality, independent of quantity, that can be used to assess compliance with the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans and monitor changes in dietary patterns. The HEI can also be used to evaluate nutrition interventions and consumer nutrition education programs.
A biomarker validation study of internet-based and conventional self-reports for assessing diet and physical activity.
These modules are designed to complement the Measures Registry and Measures Registry User Guides and assist researchers and practitioners with choosing the best measures across the four domains of the Measures Registry: individual diet, food environment, individual physical activity and physical activity environment.
A catalog of recommended standard measures of phenotypes and environmental exposures for use in biomedical research. This includes common data elements for tobacco regulatory research, substance abuse and addiction, mental health research, sickle cell disease research, and social determinants of health.
Science Analysis System (SAS) code is available for analyzing Actigraph 7164 Physical Activity Monitor (PAM) data from the 2003–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). These programs are written to import and analyze accelerometer data downloaded from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Those who wish to use these programs with data downloaded directly from Actigraph 7164 accelerometers used in a different study must first convert the data into the appropriate format and merge the records from multiple accelerometers.
Information and resources for measuring long-term average daily intake, or "usual intake, including an NCI-developed method for estimating usual dietary intakes of foods and nutrients using 24-hour recalls. This method can be used to:
- Estimate the distribution of usual intake for a population or subpopulation
- Assess the effects of individual covariates on consumption
- Predict individual intake for use in a model to assess the relationship between diet and disease or other variable using the statistical technique of regression calibration.
