Fruit and Vegetable Screener: Computed Variables

The computed diet variables for the 2001 CHIS Fruit and Vegetable Screener are available for download. There are two versions of the diet datasets available, each based on the 2001 CHIS Adult data: version A is based on the 02/15/2005 release; while version B is based on the 03/05/2004 release. Please see the CHIS 2001 Revised Sample Weights (PDF)External Web Site Policy for an overview of the differences between the two releases of the source data. Each version of the diet datasets is provided in two file formats -- SAS transport and comma separated values (CSV). The files include the following variables:

  • Pyramid servings of fruits and vegetables
  • Adjusted Pyramid servings of fruits and vegetables
  • Pyramid servings of fruits and vegetables excluding French fries
  • Adjusted Pyramid servings of fruits and vegetables excluding French fries
  • Pyramid servings of fruits and vegetables excluding French fries and beans
  • Adjusted Pyramid servings of fruits and vegetables excluding French fries and beans

The datasets are sorted in ascending order by the ID variable PUF_ID.  All numeric variables have been rounded to the nearest .000001.
