Go to the CDC’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(Link bottom of page). Using the information on this site, briefly describe the NHANES scientific study, including its development, process, and data. Discuss at least three data driven accomplishments NHANES has achieved and analyze how these might improve the nutritional health of Americans.
Then, read the Rehm, et al. article which reviews NHANES data. Based on the article, identify any major nutritional changes from 1999 to 2012, both positive and negative. In your opinion, what areas should be focused on moving forward?
