BACKGROUND
Data on food consumption and nutrient intake are determined using dietary assessment and biochemical methods. To better assess the nutritional value of the food consumed by individuals and populations, food consumption data needs to be up-to-date, accurate and reliable.
Good quality food consumption data can provide insights as to what a population is consuming, as well as changes to its food supply.
OBJECTIVES
This symposium aimed to:
- Discuss current development and process for improving and expanding the Food Composition Databases in SE Asia Region
- Share experiences, development and international best practice in dietary assessment methodology
- Update on the latest findings from food consumption survey data in selected SE Asia countries
- Discuss gaps, barriers and opportunities in the collection, analysis and interpretation of food consumption survey data in SEAsia
