Consumptions settings

Selection settings

Table 31 Selection settings for module Consumptions.

Name	Description
Risk type	The type of exposure considered in the assessment; acute (short term) or chronic (long-term).
Food survey	The food consumption survey representative for the population of interest.
Restrict population to consumers or consumer days only	Specifies whether the population should be restricted to the individuals (chronic) or individual days (acute) that have non-zero consumption.
Restrict population to consumers or consumer days with consumptions of specific foods	Specifies whether the population should be restricted to the individuals (chronic) or individual days (acute) consuming any of the foods of the specified subset.
Selected foods-as-eaten	Set of consumed foods that are of particular interest for restricting the consumers / consumption days.
Consumption subset: restrict to consumptions of specific foods	If checked, then the consumptions are restricted to those of the specified food-as-eaten subset.
Selected foods-as-eaten	Set of consumed foods that are of particular interest.
Ignore sampling weights	If checked, individual sampling weights are not used (sampling weight = 1). If unchecked, the specified sampling weights are used.
Match consumption data to population definition options	Match consumption data to population definition. Use population definitions (default), ignore all population definitions or use a selection of properties.
Exclude individuals with less than N days	Filter out all individuals with less than N survey days.
N (number of days in survey)	Specify the nominal number of days in the survey to filter out all individuals with less than N survey days.
N (number of days in survey)	Specify the nominal number of days in the survey to filter out all individuals with less than N survey days.
Select one or more individual(day) properties to filter the population	Select one or more individual(day) properties to filter the individuals(days) in the population.

Uncertainty settings

Table 32 Uncertainty settings for module Consumptions.

Name	Description
Resample individuals	Individual data are resampled from the original database using the bootstrap methodology (Efron 1979, Efron & Tibshirani 1993).
Resample portion sizes	Specifies whether portion sizes should be resampled based on food consumption quantification data, see (Souverein et al. 2011).
