Description

In 1997-98, the Statistics Sweden in co-operation with the National Food Administration (NFA) carried out the second nationwide Swedish dietary survey, Riksmaten. The study was a follow-up of the previous survey (Hulk) carried out in 1989, using similar design and methods. In Riksmaten a representative sample of 2000 households consisted the survey base. In each household one person, aged 18-74 years, was selected to register food intake in a precoded 7-days record book. The participants also filled in a questionnaire with information on body weight, height, education, occupation, physical activity, smoking habits and other lifestyle factors. The sampling design was continuous, i.e. a number of households were invited to participate every second week, thus covering the whole year.

The population in Riksmaten 1997-98 was all registered persons in Sweden between 18-74 years. Subjects were drawn by using systematic sampling from a population register. The selection was based on 2,027 individuals and participation rate comprised 60 %.

The survey contained 32 questions (regarding height, weight,

Time Method

Sampling procedure

Probability: Systematic random
Hushållen i undersökningen erhölls genom ett urval av personer. Ett hushåll ingick i undersökningen när någon av dess medlemmar ingick i urvalet. Vid urvalsdragningen hade alla i urvalsregistret, personer i åldern 18−74 år, samma urvalssannolikhet. Personerna drogs med systematiskt urval från ett register över totalbefolkningen. Detta register omfattar samtliga i riket folkbokförda personer sorterade i kameral ordning. Urvalsmetoden innebär en jämn geografisk
spridning av urvalet.

Bruttourvalet omfattade 2 057 personer. Av dessa kunde 30 personer inte hänföras till något privathushåll. Dessa var avlidna, hade emigrerat eller ingick i institutionshushåll. Nettourvalet omfattade 2 027 personer.
