title: Longitudinal studies of food intake and weight of women from ages 18 to 56 years.
abstract: One hundred fifty-eight women have been studied over a thirty-seven-year period, starting with personal contacts during college and continuing by intermittent mail questionnaires through 1973. Food intakes were calculated from 24-hr. dietary recalls at each sampling. The dietary adjustments in calories and ten nutrients which were made during thirty-seven years were presented. Changes in weight are discussed in relation to dietary changes.
