Definition
Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) is a Windows-based dietary analysis program designed for the collection and analyses of 24-h dietary recalls and the analysis of food records, menus, and recipes. The system is developed and maintained by the University of Minnesota Nutrition Coordinating Center (ncc.umn.edu).
Description
Overview of NDSR
NDSR is a software application that may be used to quantify the food and nutrient intake of individuals, analyze the nutrient composition of menus, and calculate the nutrient composition of food recipes. Consequently, the program has both research and practice applications in the arena of behavioral medicine. Examples of its use include collection and analysis of 24-h dietary recalls from study participants to evaluate the effect of a nutrition intervention on food and nutrient intake. In clinical settings, NDSR is used to analyze food records kept by patients as a behavioral monitoring tool. Institutions such as hospitals, prisons,...
