FOREWORDIt has long been emphasized that nutrition surveys rationalize the nature of food and nutritionproblems identified in a population. It gives an overview of the health and nutrition situation of specificareas which can then be used by concerned stakeholders in advocating for positive institutional change.These changes can be achieved through the formulation of national policies, mobilization of resourcesfor targeted interventions, evaluation of food production and food distribution systems andenhancement of intersectoral collaboration. With the goal of ending all forms of malnutrition andhunger, the Department of Science and Technology - Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOSTFNRI) has actively performed its mandate as the leading agency responsible for the regular conduct ofthe National Nutrition Survey (NNS).Over the years, the NNS has evolved from a focused assessment of the Filipinos’ nutritionalstatus to include tracking progress towards the country’s commitment to “end malnutrition in all itsforms” as stipulated in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), the Scaling-Up NutritionMovement, and now the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).The NNS is among the DOST’s key services to the nation, wherein it provides data andinformation for policies, program, and practice for both public and private sectors. Our food andnutrition scientists’ dedication and commitment to the DOST’s principles of excellence, relevance,cooperation, and cost-effectiveness have made possible the timely release of these results despite allnatural and man-made struggles the survey personnel had to go through, such as typhoons, earthquakes,and armed conflicts.The current survey, entitled the Expanded National Nutrition Survey (ENNS), has furthered thecause of the NNS by restructuring its design into a three-year rolling survey, which expands datacollection from 2018 to 2021 (not including 2020) instead of its usual six-month time frame. The newsurvey design answers the call of Local Government Units (LGUs) and other stakeholders for empiricaldata on nutrition and health status at a more localized context necessary for the planning anddevelopment of nutrition programs. The current thrust empowers the LGUs to identify and solveproblems that are more responsive and immediately experienced every day, instead of seeing thenutrition crisis as a whole.This book contains information on the data collected in the first year of the 2018 ENNS whichinclude the following survey components: Anthropometric, Biochemical, Clinical and Health, MaternalHealth and Nutrition, Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices, Food Security, and GovernmentProgram Participation. It also presents the socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics ofindividuals and households. The results of the food consumption survey at the household and individuallevels will be provided in another report. Monograph series were separately published to report theresults of food, health and nutrition situation of the provinces and highly urbanized cities (HUCs)covered in 2018.This book has been compiled by the DOST-FNRI for the benefit of those who desire to obtainscientific information on the 2018 ENNS. Through this, we hope to help address priority problems onmalnutrition, particularly undernutrition among our young ones and overnutrition among the olderpopulation. We affirm that constant exposure to correct and accurate food and nutrition information isnecessary towards ending all forms of malnutrition.With this, I encourage everyone to peruse this book and may it enlighten the minds of everyFilipino towards ending all forms of malnutrition and hunger.MARIO V.
