Summary 

The Phase 2 of the Second National Health and Nutritional Status Survey is a continuation of the Phase 1 NHANSS. The aim was to assess the nutritional status and the dietary habits of the population. Interviews with participants were conducted using a questionnaire. The anthropometric indices measured were the weight, height, and waist circumference. Blood pressure was measured for all respondents; biochemical measurements were collected on those aged 20 and above. A food frequency questionnaire as well as a 24-hour diet recall were used. A second day recall was collected on at least 10% of the sample population.

The survey was a cross-sectional survey aimed at the population aged from 5-75 years old with a sample of 4000 participants from all the districts in Brunei Darussalam.

Data collection was temporarily halted in August 2010 during the fasting month of Ramadhan and the “Hari Raya Aidilfitri” festivities as it is not reflective of the usual daily dietary patterns.
