Description
For sample adults, SAUSNO reports how many times the respondent ate sausage in a specified time period. SAUSNO should be used in conjunction with SAUSTP, which reports the corresponding time unit stated by the respondent. For information about the portion size, see SAUSNUM.
In 2010, the variable REDMEATMNO was introduced, which reports how many times the respondent ate red meat, such as beef, pork, ham, or sausage.
SAUSNO 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.
