recommended that individuals’ saturated fatty acid intake should not exceed 11 %). The mean percentage of food energy derived from
non-milk extrinsic sugars also exceeded recommendations in each sex and age group except for the oldest group of women. 60 % of
men and 44 % of women exceeded the recommendations for alcohol consumption (3–4 units for men and 2–3 units for women) on at
least one day of the recorded period. There was evidence of low intakes of vitamin A, riboflavin, magnesium and potassium in men
and women, particularly in the youngest age groups. Over 40 % of the two youngest groups of women had low intakes of iron. Mean
intakes of salt exceeded the 6 g per day recommendation in all sex and age groups, (men 11.0 g and women 8.1 g).
Adults living in benefit households had lower average intakes of energy and some nutrients, particularly vitamins and minerals
in comparison to adults in non-benefit households. A higher proportion of women in benefit households had lower intakes of vitamin
A, riboflavin, folate and all minerals in comparison to non-benefit households. (See the LIDNS survey for more recent information).
Nutritional status, blood pressure and physical activity
Nutritional status is described in this report, by physical measurements (anthropometric) and from results of the blood sample
analyses. Blood pressure measurements were also taken and respondent took a seven-day record of physical activity.
25 % of men and 20 % of women were obese, and a further 42 % and 32 % respectively were overweight according to BMI
measurements. 1 % of men and 3 % of women were classified as underweight.
22 % of men and 13 % of women were recorded to have high blood pressure, the proportions of which increased with age.
Only 36 % of men and 26 % of women met the DH recommendations for physical activity, which is ‘five-a-week,’ which
equates to 30 minutes or more of activities of at least moderate intensity on five or more days.
Among the results of the blood sample analyses, the results included: 48 % of men and women, overall, had blood levels of total
cholesterol above the optimal level; 14 % of men and 15 % of women had low vitamin D status, rising to 24 % of men and 28 % of
women in the youngest age group and 8 % of women and 3 % of men were anaemic.
Comparison with the 1986/87 Adults Survey
The information collected from the NDNS for adults aged 19 – 64 was compared to the data from the Dietary and Nutritional
Survey of British Adults carried out in 1986/87. This was the most recent survey, of a similar nature, that had been carried out prior to
the NDNS.
Respondents in the present survey were more likely to have consumed breakfast cereals, savoury snacks, soft drinks (low
calorie) and alcoholic drinks, in comparison to the 1986/87 Survey whose respondents were more likely to have consumed biscuits,
buns, cakes, meat and meat products and fish and fish products.
Men in the present survey had lower average energy intakes than men in the 1986/87 Survey, however, both men and women
derived more of their energy from protein and carbohydrate and less from fat and fatty acids than those in the 1986/87 Survey. Men
and women in the NDNS had higher intakes of folate, vitamin C, calcium, potassium than those in the 1986/97 Survey, who recorded
higher intakes of vitamin A, copper and zinc.
A higher proportion of both men and women were classified as overweight or obese in the present survey; 66 % and 53 %
respectively, in comparison to 45 % of men and 36 % of women in the 1986/87 Survey.
To improve the timeliness and flexibility of the NDNS programme, a rolling format has now been introduced, beginning in
2008. A sample of 1000 people per year (aged from 1Ѕ years) is now assessed allowing the analysis of the data from a group of 1500
adults and children after 2 years. This enables more frequent reporting from the survey and provides researchers with the opportunity
to better analyse trends in dietary intake.
