NDNS results from Years 1 to 4 (combined) republication: notice of corrections

Updated 28 February 2017

National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) results from Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 (combined) of the rolling programme for 2008 and 2009 to 2011 and 2012 were republished on 28 February 2017.

The republished documents and data tables are listed below. These include corrections to data on salt intakes (chapter 7) and analysis by equivalised income quintiles (chapter 9).

The salt intake data for children and older adults in chapter 7 has been corrected to take account of bias in the laboratory analytical method for sodium. This correction is in line with the approach used in the 2014 urinary sodium surveys of adults and brings the data in this report onto a comparable basis with the data from those surveys. The correction has resulted in slightly higher estimates of salt intake for the period covered by this report.

Some tables in chapter 9 (equivalised income analysis) have been corrected for formatting errors which resulted in missing data.

These documents and tables include corrections and have been republished:

  • executive summary
  • full report
  • appendix U
  • chapter 7 tables
  • chapter 9 tables
