2011-13 AHS and 1995 NNS food classification concordance file

Published

This file cross references food groups reported in the 2011-13 Australian Health Survey with food groups reported in the 1995 National Nutrition Survey (NNS).

The file was developed to allow users to compare consumption between the two surveys. For each 3 digit group in the 2011-13 AHS classification, the file identifies the corresponding 1995 NNS groups or individual foods. Note that in some cases, a 1995 group has been split between 2011-13 AHS groups.
