Description

For sample adults ages 18 and over, SPINYR is a recoded variable that reports the number of times per year the respondent consumed spinach. Researchers may also want to use SPINSIZ, which reports the corresponding portion size.

SPINYR is part of a series of variables initiated in 1987 related to food, food knowledge, and cancer. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.

Comparability

Changes in survey design (e.g., quarters in which the supplement was collected) may affect raw frequencies, but do not affect comparability of the variable. As always, data users should use the prescribed IHIS weights.
