The National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) is a continuous, cross-sectional survey. It is designed to collect detailed, quantitative information on the food consumption, nutrient intake and nutritional status of the population living in private households in the UK. Fieldwork began in 2008.

The UK NDNS is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care and the UK Food Standards Agency. Northern Ireland government bodies fund additional recruitment to allow separate reporting of results for Northern Ireland.

The contract for NDNS for 2024 to 2029 (fieldwork years 16 to 20) has been awarded to the National Centre for Social Research working with the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge.聽This contract will include a urinary sodium survey of adults in England.

NDNS聽provides essential evidence on the diet and nutrition of the UK population to enable聽the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities to identify and address nutritional issues in the population, and monitor progress towards public health nutrition objectives.

Blood and urine samples collected from NDNS participants since 2008 are stored in a biorepository and are available on application for health-related research in the public interest. For more information please visit the .
