Abstract: USDA's Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (1977-78 NFCS)) reports on a 1 day's food and nutrient intake of approximately 7,800 individuals in Puerto Rico. Individuals were classified by 22 sex-age groups. Findings included: 92% repoted eating meat, poultry or fish the day surveyed; 94% consumed dairy products; 44% eggs, 60% legumes, nuts or seeds; 98% whole grain products; 73% vegetables; 47% fruits; and 63% sugar or sweets. Energy intakes averaged 96% of the midpoint range for the 1980 RDA with 15.8% from protein; 37.7% from fat, and 46.9% from carbohydrate. Average nutrient intakes based on the RDA are provided; the intakes for protein, thiamin, vitamin B12 and vitamin C met the RDAs. Three meals a day was a frequent pattern. (kbc).

Abstract: Three-day nutrient intake data (157 tables) are presented for about 36,100 individuals in the 48 US conterminous states, collected in the USDA Nationwide Food Consumption Survey from April 1977-March 1978. The data are organized to depict the intake contributions of 14 food groups to the intakes of 14 nutrients and calories, including their mean intakes, dietary nutrient densities, and a comparison of nutrient intakes to 1980 recommended allowances and 1965 intake data. Also included are: nutrient contributions from foods eaten in restaurants and from meals and snack foods; the effects of the frequency and time of eating; nutrient intake data for 22 sex-age groups in 4 income levels, 3 urbanization levels, for 2 racial groups, and the effects of seasonal variations; and nutrient intakes for special groups (infants, vegetarians, pregnant and lactating women). Factors influencing nutrient intakes (nutrient supplements, height and weight, health status, physical disability, special diets) are discussed. (wz).

Abstract: A report presents findings on the money value, quantity, and nutritive value of food used at home and costs for food away from home for Puerto Rican households in 1977. Data on the nutrient return per dollar's worth of food and on nutrient density (per 1,000 calories) are included. The nutrient content of food used at home was obtained both from information collected on kinds and quantities of food used by households during a 7 day period, and from USDA composition tables. Nutrient levels of food used by households are expressed as percentages of the 1974 RDA's; findings are grouped by urbanization, income, and household size. (rkm).

Abstract: Three day food intake data and the characteristics of a national US sampling of about 36,100 people (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) are presented in 510 tables. Data was collected between April 1977 and March 1978. Food intakes are summarized under 10 food groups and 43 subgroups, covering all people sampled in each of 22 age and sex categories at 4 income levels, 3 urban categories, and 2 racial groups; data also are broken down by the 4 seasons. Major findings of the survey included: over 90% of the subjects ate at least 1 food from each of 5 major food groups during the 3-day survey. Under the meat group, beef (68%) and meat mixtures (67%) were reported by more people than poultry (43%) or fish (25%). About 80% of all subjects had milk at least once. Bread, rolls, or biscuits (95%), white potatoes (about 80%), and non-citrus fruits and juices (58%) were the most popular items consumed in the grain, vegetable, and fruit food groups, respectively. Findings for other food categories (and subcategories), and the influences found from factors of income, urbanization, race, and seasonal differences are highlighted. (wz)
