Abstract

The dietary pattern varies tremendously in different states in various countries including India. Each states require individual diet assessment for measurement of both nutrient and food intake. There is need for the dietary assessment of the population instead of individual food items. It requires some understanding of population food choices which vary in different location and socio-cultural environment. In the present study the assessment of the dietary pattern of the population of Sonipat city in Haryana, India was carried out using random strategy. A quantitative survey was carried out to assess the common dietary pattern with self-administered random household survey method to capture usual dietary intake of the population. The food items were averaged across days of analysis and developed the food group data estimates. The total 300 household survey was obtained and included in the analyses. This survey was to assess diet pattern of usual diet for the total diet study among the Sonipat city in Haryana, India. The data was collected for carrying out the further analyses to estimate of exposures to nutrients and hazardous materials.Keywords: Dietary assessment, Dietary pattern, Nutrients, Hazardous materials, SurveyCite this ArticleNeela Emanuel, Aman Kaushik.
