The Food Consumption Survey maps out what the Netherlands eats and drinks. Food consumption data provide insight into food consumption, the intake of macro and micronutrients, the intake of potentially harmful chemicals and their developments (trends). The figures in this table come from the Food Consumption Survey (VCP) 2012-2016 of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM).
This table contains data on the intake of nutrients by place of intake of people aged 1 to 80 years. The data are broken down by gender and age and also for different population groups. Not all breakdowns are available, then empty lines will be shown. The available breakdowns are:
— Total population
— Age in 2 groups
— Gender in 2 groups
— Age and gender in 4 groups
— Age and gender in 16 groups
— Education by age and gender in 4 groups
— Region
— Region by gender
— Region by age in 2 groups
— Region by age and gender in 4 groups
— Urbanisation
— Urbanisation by gender
— Urbanisation by age in 2 groups
— Urbanisation by age and gender in 4 groups
In addition, the age groups for alcohol intake are based on 14 to 80 year olds.
The nutrition data were collected from around 4,000 children and adults with two 24-hour nutrition questions. More information about the study can be found on the website www.wateetnederland.nl (see also for the publications on this website). A number of tables of information are included on statline.
