Canadian Community Health Survey 2015: Nutrition Component, General health and summary data for 24-hour dietary recall and nutritional supplements (NCI)

The over-arching goal of the 2015 CCHS-Nutrition is to provide reliable, timely information about dietary intake, nutritional well-being and their key determinants, with the purpose of informing and guiding programs, policies and activities of federal and provincial governments. The specific objectives of the 2015 CCHS-Nutrition were to: - Collect detailed data on the consumption of foods and dietary supplements among a representative sample of Canadians at national and provincial levels. - Estimate the distribution of usual dietary intake in terms of nutrients from foods, food groups, dietary supplements and eating patterns. - Gather anthropometric (physical) measurements for accurate body weight and height assessment to interpret dietary intake. - Support the interpretation and analysis of dietary intake data by collecting data on selected health conditions and socio-economic and demographic characteristics. - Evaluate changes in dietary intake from the 2004 CCHS-Nutrition.
