Description

For sample adults, MEALWKD reports the number of meals the respondent usually ate per day during the week.

MEALWKD 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 or see DIETCHANGEV.
