Short diet questionnaire data aggregation

Project Summary

The Lifestyle Working Group proposes to aggregate the dietary intake data collected from the Short Diet Questionnaire (SDQ) (1). The aggregation will provide researchers with more accessible data with the aim of increasing the use of dietary data in future CLSA studies. Our goal is to keep the single SDQ items available to ensure continuity in longitudinal studies and provide specificity, and to add aggregated data by major food categories as well as frequency of consumption on a common period basis.
