The National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) in the United Kingdom is a programme designed to assess the diet, nutrient intake, and nutritional status of the UK population. The quantitative survey started in 2008. It plays a crucial role in providing valuable information to shape public health policy, monitor trends in dietary habits, and evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition-related interventions.
