Description
For sample adults, MARGYR is a recoded variable that reports how many times per year the respondent margarine. This includes margarine on bread, rolls, or on vegetables. Respondents were asked separately about butter consumption. This recoded variable is based on the responses to MARGNO, which reports the frequency with which the respondent margarine, and MARGTP, which reports the corresponding time unit. For information about the portion size, see MARGSIZ.
MARGYR 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.
