Description
For sample person aged 18 years and over, EHFATCOLA indicates if the respondent thought there was more fat in one glass of cola or 1 glass of whole milk. Interviewers read respondents a series of pairs of foods and asked which food the respondent thought had more fat. Respondents could choose one food, indicate both had the same amount of fat, or indicate that they were unsure which food had more fat.
EHFATCOLA is part of a series of variables initiated in 1987 dealing with food, food knowledge, and cancer. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus or see DIETCHANGEV.
