NDNS results are used by the Government to develop policy and monitor progress on diet and nutrition objectives, such as salt intake. By finding out what foods people consume that have salt in the Government can decide which foods to target for salt reduction. Results from NDNS are also used in public health initiatives such as Change4Life which encourages people to “Eat well, move more and live longer”. | |

A number of academics across the UK have already made use of the data that has been produced by NDNS. The level of detail contained in the data collected has provided academics with the opportunity to publish articles on diverse topics from the intake of game birds amongst the population to considering how parental employment shapes children’s eating habits. |
