Dagens system for overvåking av</p><p align="left">kostholdet bygger først og fremst på en matvaredatabase og opplysninger om forbruket av matvarer fra tre</p><p align="left">typer datasett; matforsyningsstatistikk, forbruksundersøkelser og kostholdsundersøkelser. Det avgis årlig en</p><p align="left">vurdering av utviklingen i norsk kosthold i forhold til mat- og ernæringspolitiske målsettinger. Det norske</p><p align="left">systemet for overvåking av kostholdet er blitt betydelig styrket i løpet av 1990-årene ved innføringen av</p><p align="left">regelmessige kostholdsundersøkelser blant landsrepresentative utvalg av befolkningen i ulike aldersgrupper</p><p align="left">og økte ressurser til analyse av næringsinnholdet i matvarer. Det er imidlertid beskjedent sammenlignet med</p><p align="left">datainnsamlingen i land som USA og Storbritannia. Det norske overvåkingssystemet er forsatt i en</p><p align="left">utviklingsfase, og det må justeres og kompletteres etter hvert. Dessuten vil det arbeides med å kvalitetssikre</p><p align="left">datainnsamlingen.</p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><p align="left">Johansson L.</p></span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><p align="left"> </p></span></span><p align="left"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;">Surveillance of the diet in Norway – methods and results.</span></span></strong><em><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;"><em><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;"><p align="left">Nor J Epidemiol</p></span></span></em></span><em><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;"><p align="left"> </p></span></em></span><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;">ENGLISH SUMMARY</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><p align="left">Knowledge about changes in composition and intake of foods, as well as changes in the prevalence of dietrelated</p><p align="left">health problems is fundamental for an effective food and nutrition policy. The National Council on</p><p align="left">Nutrition and Physical Activity is responsible for evaluating changes in the diet. Annually the Council publishes</p><p align="left">reports about trends in the Norwegian diet, and suggests measures to improve the diet. The Council, in</p><p align="left">cooperation with the National Food Authority and the Institute for Nutrition Research, University of Oslo,</p><p align="left">has established a national food and dietary surveillance system. This system is mainly based on a food</p><p align="left">database and food consumption data. The food consumption data include three principally different data</p><p align="left">sets: food supplies, household consumption surveys, and dietary surveys. Food supplies have been published</p><p align="left">annually since 1952. Household consumption surveys among random nation-wide samples of private</p><p align="left">households have been performed annually by Statistics Norway since 1975. Dietary surveys were included</p><p align="left">on a regular basis in the surveillance system in 1993 when the first Norwegian nation-wide dietary surveys</p><p align="left">among students 13 and 18 years old and the general population aged 16-79 years were conducted. The</p><p align="left">second dietary survey among the general population was made in 1997, and the first survey among infants</p><p align="left">was performed in 1998-99. The second survey among children 5-13 years is planned for 2000-2001. The</p><p align="left">Norwegian surveillance system has been considerably improved during the 1990s. However, the collection</p><p align="left">of dietary data is still modest compared to what is done in the USA and Great Britain. The system is</p><p>developing, and will be adjusted and supplemented. Quality assurance of methods will be given priority.</p></span></span></em><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">2000; </span></span><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;">10 </span></span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">(1): 31-42.</span></span></p>}, number={1}, journal={Norsk Epidemiologi}, author={Johansson, Lars}, year={2009}, month={Nov.} }
