- Annual execution of the NNS-J is mandated by the national law and huge data should be dealt in a routine work. So more efficient way for data management and analysis should be adopted both at the local and the central levels.
- A newly developed data management and analysis system contains a client software used at the local public health centers, a server software for data analysis and updating a database at the NIHN, and networking function for data transfer, reporting the results and supporting the clients.
- The new system we developed can substantially lessen the errors and standardize the coding rule by incorporating the appropriate databases of foods and dishes. The systematic data checking, data analysis, and tabulation are expected to save time and cost for the operation of the J-NNS and regional nutrition surveys.
- This system will also meet the growing needs for conducting nutrition surveys to formulate a nutrition plan in the prefectures for the Japanese ‘Healthy Communities 21th’.
- We are planning to develop a multi-country version of the system on a basis of the prototype of this product.
