Research Priorities

An obesity prevention toolkit that helps states identify evidence-based and emerging programs, strategies, and interventions.

Information and resources for measuring long-term average daily intake, or "usual intake, including an NCI-developed method for estimating usual dietary intakes of foods and nutrients using 24-hour recalls. This method can be used to:

• Estimate the distribution of usual intake for a population or subpopulation
• Assess the effects of individual covariates on consumption
• Predict individual intake for use in a model to assess the relationship between diet and disease or other variable using the statistical technique of regression calibration.
