| Abstract |
The third report reviews the dietary and nutritional status of the U.S. population, as well as the factors that determine status, based on the data available through the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Program (NNMRRP) by June 1994. The NNMRRP includes surveys, surveillance systems, and other monitoring activities that provide information about the dietary, nutritional, and nutrition-related health status of Americans; the relationship between diet and health; and the factors that influence dietary and nutritional status. The program was established by the U.S. Congress in the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-445). The act specified that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) jointly implement and coordinate the activities of the NNMRRP. The legislation further specified that the agencies 'contract with a scientific body, such as the National Academy of Sciences or the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, to interpret available data analyses, and publish ... a report on the dietary, nutritional, and health-related status of the people of the United States and the nutritional quality (including the nutritive and nonnutritive content) of food consumed in the United States ... at least once every five years.' |
