title: Progress toward achieving the 1990 national health objectives for improved nutrition.
abstract: Seventeen of the 1990 health objectives for the nation (1) addressed improved nutrition for persons in the United States; the Public Health Service gave special priority to 15 of these objectives (2). Progress was made toward achieving six of the objectives; the others either were not achieved or data were insufficient to assess progress.
