How is the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey different from the Framingham Heart Study?

What will be an ideal response?


The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey is used to determine the nutritional status of a large population. It is conducted annually, and results are used to determine the nutritional status of Americans of all ages and to monitor their risk behaviors over time. The intake of carbohydrates, lipids, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber is collected using a 24-hour recall method. The Framingham Heart Study provided the foundation for the current dietary recommendations for heart health. It used surveys to collect longitudinal data on two generations and more than 10,000 participants to establish the current recommendations for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
