INDI National Nutrition Survey 1990

This cover image may be familiar to some of you. We have recently uncovered one of the last remaining copies of the 1990 Irish National Nutrition Survey - a gold standard for nutrition and dietary surveys and one which is still used by many dietitians working in research on food surveys today almost 35 years later. We were thrilled to get our hands on Ms Kay Cunningham's original copy - Kay, who was the Chairperson of INDI at the time,  worked with the late Prof. Mike Gibney and a team of dietitians, statisticians and nutrition advisors to produce this seminal report. To keep it as a reference guide for future research we had the report scanned and we are delighted to now have a digital copy here on the website for you to  access easily. There are lots of other familiar dietitians who were involved in there , including Ms Mary Moloney and Ms Philomena Flood. It is a huge testament to the work of all those involved at the time that this report is still being cited today.

You can check out the report for yourself at the link below.
