Diet History Questionnaire: Pyramid Food Groups
Intake of food groups, based on the US Department of Agriculture's pyramid servings, are available from Diet*Calc.
These variables represent standardized servings of food groups from all sources. Consistent with how nutrient intakes
are calculated by Diet*Calc, each line item of the DHQ has associated with it a value for servings of each
individual food group. These are summed to calculate total intake servings per food group. More detailed
documentation on pyramid servings and what foods are included in each food group can be
found at: USDA Community Nutrition Research Group.
