A total diet study was developed in the UK in the 1960s to enable the estimation of average intakes of different food constituents of public interest. Since that time the organization of the total diet study has twice been modified, firstly in 1975 and more extensively in 1981. The study now includes 115 foods in 20 groups compared to 68 foods in nine groups in the previous design, and reflects more recent food consumption patterns. The food is purchased in preselected parts of the country by a market research company and the preparation of the diets has been centralized in one laboratory instead of being undertaken by domestic science colleges located in many areas. The reorganization is described and the new total diet study is validated by comparison with a study of the previous design.
20世纪60年代，英国开展了一项总膳食研究，以估算公众感兴趣的不同食物成分的平均摄入量。自那时以来，总膳食研究的组织方式进行了两次修改，第一次是在1975年，1981年的修改幅度更大。与之前设计中的9组68种食物相比，现在的研究包括20组115种食物，反映了更新的食物消费模式。这些食物由一家市场研究公司在该国预先选定的地区采购，膳食的制备工作集中在一个实验室进行，而不是由分布在许多地区的家政学院承担。本文描述了此次重组，并通过与之前设计的研究进行比较，验证了新的总膳食研究。
