A comparison of four commonly used nutrient database programs.
The present study evaluated the comparability of two microcomputer systems and two mainframe nutrient database systems. Sixty 24-hour recalls were analyzed on each system. Analysis of the nutrient values obtained from each system revealed several significant differences between Short Report and the other three systems. There were no significant differences between DINE, NCC, and UTNDB. Attempts to reveal the source of this error were not successful.
