AUSNUT 2011-13 food retention factor file
AUSNUT 2011-13 food retention factor file The food retention factor file contains information on the nutrient retention factors used in recipe calculations reported in AUSNUT 2011-13, as set out in Table 4. The nutrient retention factors used in AUSNUT 2011-13 have been derived largely from United States Department of Agriculture databases.

Classification of foods and dietary supplements
Classification of foods and dietary supplements
To be able to group similar foods and report trends in consumption by food category, a coding or classification system is needed. There are many ways that foods and beverages can be classified and no single classification system will meet the needs of all users. The design of any coding or classification system should aim to address the requirements of a specific survey, as far as possible. The purpose of the classification system developed for the 2011-13 Australian Health Survey (AHS), was to:- enable easy reporting of trends in food…

Identification of individual foods and dietary supplements
Identification of individual foods and dietary supplements Survey identification code for foods Food and beverage names and descriptions Survey identification code for dietary supplements Survey identification code for foods Each food in AUSNUT 2011-13 has been assigned a unique 8 digit numeric identification code. The first two, three and five digits describe the major, sub-major and minor groups the food falls into within the food classification hierarchy. The last three digits are simply a consecutive number allocated to foods after they have been grouped into a logical order within a five digit group. This is illustrated below for the major food…

Dietary supplement nutrient data validation
Dietary supplement nutrient data validation The nutrient data in AUSNUT 2011-13 has undergone an extensive data validation process. Some of the routine validation activities undertaken by FSANZ include checking:
- all dietary supplements have a value for all nutrients to be reported
- the dietary supplement contained the nutrients identified in the supplement name. (e.g. a calcium supplement contains calcium, a multivitamin contains more than one vitamin)
- the dietary supplement contains the amount of nutrient identified in a supplement name (e.g. a supplement called 'Vitamin C 500' contains approximately 500 mg vitamin C per dosage unit)
- the sum of all nutrients is less than the mass of a dosage unit.

AUSNUT 2011-13 dietary supplement database
AUSNUT 2011-13 dietary supplement database The AUSNUT 2011-13 dietary supplement database contains 35 nutrient values for 2,163 dietary supplements consumed during the 2011-12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NNPAS) and the 2012-13 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NATSINPAS) components of the 2011-13 Australian Health Survey (AHS). The nutrient profiles of the dietary supplements reflect those available during this time period. For the purpose of the AHS, dietary supplements refer to products defined as Complementary Medicines under the Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990 that are not intended for inhalation or use on the skin. They include products containing ingredients that are nutrients, such as…

AUSNUT2011-13 food measures database
AUSNUT2011-13 food measures database Before population food and nutrient intakes can be estimated from a dietary recall such as that used in the 2011-13 Australian Health Survey (AHS), you need to know how much of each food and beverage was eaten by individuals in the survey. The AUSNUT 2011-13 food measures database contains 16,152 measures for the 5,740 foods and beverages consumed during the 2011-12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NNPAS) and the 2012-13 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NATSINPAS) components of the AHS Therefore the values reflect the food supply during this time period. Measures data reported Survey respondents in the AHS were able to report the amount of foods and…

2014 Milk powder and damper analytical program
2014 Milk powder and damper analytical program Background Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has limited nutrient data on some commonly consumed foods from the 2012-13 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NATSINPAS) component of the 2011-13 Australian Health Survey (AHS). In April 2014, FSANZ undertook a small analytical program to collect nutrient data on powdered milk (regular fat and skim), homemade damper, and Jackaroo branded products (plain flour and white bread) which were commonly consumed during the NATSINPAS. Sampling FSANZ selected five foods for analysis. FSANZ purchased regular fat and skim milk powder samples in Brisbane on 14 March and in…

2010 Australia Health Survey Analytical Program
2010 Australia Health Survey Analytical Program This is a summary report for use as part of AUSNUT 2011-13 Explanatory Notes. For the full report see Strengthening our evidence base - Food analytical program for the development of a nutrient database for estimating food consumption and nutrient intakes, July 2012 Background The food supply in Australia is constantly changing, and nutrient data for some foods can become outdated due to changes in product formulation, production practices or advances in analytical methods. While the consumption amounts of staple foods, such as bread and milk, may not change dramatically, a slight change to the nutrient profile may have a substantial effect on nutrient intakes across…
