Third Report on Nutrition Monitoring in the United States The U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services have released the Third Report on Nutrition Monitoring in the United States, a comprehensive, 2-volume report that reviews and interprets data on the dietary, nutritional, and health-related status of the U.S. population, and factors that affect that status. The report includes recent and trend data on nutrition and health; food and nutrient consumption; knowledge, attitude and behavior assessments; food composition and nutrient data bases; and food supply determinations. The report profiles the nutritional status of Americans in general, as well as groups at high risk of nutritional problems. This report is issued in compliance with a 1990 Congressional mandate to publish a report at least every five years on the dietary, nutritional and related health status of Americans, and the nutritional quality of the food they consume. Under the direction of the Interagency Board for Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research, the report was prepared by the Life Sciences Research Office (LSRO) of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, in consultation with experts from nutrition and health-related disciplines. LSRO evaluated data from Federal surveys, State-based nutrition surveillance systems, and other monitoring activities that are part of the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Program.
