Provides up-to-date information on the prevalence and incidence of diabetes and prediabetes, risk factors for complications, acute and long-term complications, deaths, and costs. These data can help focus efforts to prevent and control diabetes across the United States. This report is continually updated as data become available and is intended for a scientific audience.

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.

A searchable database of diet and physical activity measures relevant to childhood obesity research.

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.

User guides to help researchers select measures for studies in obesity among youth, including an overview of measurement, principles of measurement selection, case studies and resources.

A webinar series featuring leading national and international experts presenting on emerging developments, opportunities, and challenges in childhood obesity prevention research, practice, and policy.

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.

An obesity prevention toolkit that helps states identify evidence-based and emerging programs, strategies, and interventions.

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.
