Description

NSDD is a database with harmonised data from two population based projects ”Västerbotten Intervention Project” och ”MONICA in northern Sweden”. Information is collected by a validated, semi-quantitative, food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Data collection is done by identical instrument and in the same manner in the two projects. The FFQ has three main sections: portion size indication for staple foods, intake frequencies, and dietary supplements. Some information on dietary and meal regimens is available. In addition to information on intake frequencies of single food items or food groups, estimated energy and nutrient intake and a selection of dietary indexes are available.

Enheten för biobanksforskning (EBF) handhar databasen, medan Västerbottens läns landsting ansvarar för insamling och förvaring av biobanksmaterial.

Clinical samples (plasma, serum and DNA) are not included in NSDD but handled separately, in a biobank (see http://www.biobank.umu.se/).
