The NDSR database includes the content of a large number of nutrients (including n-6 and n-3 fatty acids) for each food entered, and uses those estimates to generate daily consumption values. To estimate typical intake, daily intake data from the three diet recalls were averaged to calculate daily nutrient totals and daily servings of foods. The n-6/n-3 ratio was calculated by dividing the average daily intake of all n-6 fatty acids by the average daily intake of all n-3 fatty acids.
