Description

For sample adults, VEGSERVREC reports the number of servings of fruit and vegetables the respondent thought a person should eat each day for good health.

VEGSERVREC 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.
