皇冠体育app

皇冠体育app NDNS involves an interview, a four-day dietary diary and blood and urine samples. 皇冠体育app results are used to develop policy and monitor progress towards public health objectives on diet and nutrition, such as Responsibility Deal Food Network pledges on trans fat intakes. 皇冠体育app data are also used to compare consumption with UK dietary recommendations on healthy, balanced diets and nutrient intakes.

皇冠体育app results in the main report published in July 2011, were based on assessment of food consumption over four days and so tell us about diet over a short period. 皇冠体育app supplementary report provides an analysis of blood samples which gives an indication of the nutritional status of the population over a longer period.聽聽皇冠体育app report presents descriptive statistics on a number of blood analytes including iron and vitamin D and focuses on respondents aged 11-18 and 19 to 64 year olds who agreed to a blood sample being taken.

皇冠体育app NDNS Supplementary report on Blood Analytes for Years 1 and 2 combined (2008/09 and 2009/10) is available below.

Key Findings

皇冠体育app results suggest that the overall picture of the nutritional status of the UK population is broadly similar to previous relevant surveys in the NDNS series carried out in 1997 and 2000/01. 皇冠体育app results are not inconsistent with the findings from the dietary data. 皇冠体育app results do not indicate any new areas of concern in the nutritional status of these population groups.
Where there is evidence of low status, this does not necessarily mean people are deficient, but that they are at greater risk of deficiency.

• 皇冠体育appre is evidence of iron-deficiency anaemia and low iron stores in a proportion of adult women and older girls. This is in line with findings from previous surveys and does have health implications for these groups.
• 皇冠体育appre is evidence of low vitamin D status in adults and older children, both male and female which has implications for bone health: in particular increased risk of rickets and osteomalacia.
• A substantial proportion of adults and older children have low vitamin B2 (riboflavin) status. 皇冠体育app health implications of this are not known.
• 皇冠体育appre is no evidence of low status for other micronutrients for example vitamin C, B6, B12, thiamin, retinol and vitamin E.
• A proportion of adults had elevated levels of blood lipids, increasing risk of cardiovascular disease. This is well known and in line with findings from previous health surveys.
