WORLDFOOD DIETARY ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
The WorldFood Dietary Assessment System is designed to facilitate rapid dietary assessment
using an IBM-compatible personal computer. A list of 1800 foods reported in six countries
(Egypt, Kenya, Mexico, Senegal, India, and Indonesia) has been compiled and can be accessed
through user-friendly menus. Users can specify foods and amounts in a one-day diet using a menu-driven
food selection process. The system provides totals for 48 nutrients and percents of internationally
recommended intakes for 21 nutrients. The program was designed by Drs Doris Calloway and
Suzanne Murphy at the University of California, Berkeley, with funding from USAID, UNU and INFOODS.
The current version was prepared by Sybille Bunch and Suzanne Murphy. The program is
now in the public domain for free distribution.
