USDA’s Nutrition Evidence Library (NEL) specializes in conducting systematic reviews to inform Federal nutrition policy and programs. The Library evaluates, synthesizes, and grades the strength of the evidence to support conclusions. An objective and transparent methodology is used to define the state of food and nutrition-related science. The Library is a key resource for making food and nutrition research accessible to all Americans (USDA NEL Website).

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a program of studies designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States.
