Besides food consumption research, RIVM also conducts nutritional status research. This allows us to judge the amounts of vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) in people’s bodies, which show whether people have insufficient or excessive nutrients in their body. On this page, we explain more about this research and RIVM’s methods.

From 2007-2010 the food consumption was measured from the general Dutch population in the age of 7 to 69 years. Special regards is given to the consumption of fruit, vegetables and fish, energy intake and the fatty acid profile of the diet.

From 2005-2006 the food consumption and intake of energy and nutrients was measured among young children 2 to 6 years of age.
