Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) is a Windows-based dietary analysis program developed at the University of Minnesota Nutrition Coordinating Center (NCC). NDRS facilitates the collection of standardized 24-dietary recalls (Feskanich et al. 1989) as well as the analysis of 24-h dietary recalls, food records, menus, and recipes.
For the analysis of 24-dietary recalls, dietary intake data is gathered by trained interviewers and entered directly into the NDSR program. Then, the software searches for foods and brand products by name from within the NCC Food and Nutrient Database. Information from food records, menus, and recipes can be entered directly into NDSR for analysis.
The NCC Food and Nutrient Database includes over 18,000 foods, including 8,000 brand-name products, menu items available at 23 leading restaurants, and an array of ethnic foods (Sievert et al. 1989). Additional ingredient choices and preparation method options provide a total of more than 160,000 food...
