Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) simultaneously monitors both the nutrition and health of the population in the United States. It collects data on various aspects of health such as chronic diseases, environmental exposures, and health behaviors, along with information on dietary intake to provide a comprehensive picture of the health of the nation. The other choices (B, C, and D) are not accurate as NHANES does not specifically monitor weight gain in adults over 21, incidence of diabetes in children over the age of 2 or vitamin and mineral deficiencies in low-income groups exclusively.
