Diet History Questionnaire II: Nutrient, Dietary Constituent & Food Group Database
This is the current list of the 176 nutrients, dietary constituents, and food
groups available in Diet*Calc for DHQ II. Food group variables are based on the
US Department of Agriculture's MyPyramid Equivalents Database (MPED). These
variables represent standardized equivalents of food groups from all sources.
Consistent with how nutrient intakes are calculated by Diet*Calc, each line item
of the DHQ II has associated with it an MPED value for each individual food
group. These are summed to calculate total intake servings per food group. More
detailed documentation on pyramid equivalents and what foods are included in
each food group is available from USDA.
Nutrient & Food Group List
The attached file lists all nutrients and food groups along with the variable
name, source from which the values were obtained (USDA or NDSR), and the unit of
measurement. To understand how the database was created, see Development of the DHQ II Nutrient & Food Group Database.
