Consumptions settings

Selection settings

Table 32 Selection settings for module Consumptions.
Name Type Description
Risk type
ExposureType The type of exposure considered in the assessment; acute (short term) or chronic (long-term).
Food survey

AlphaNumeric

The food consumption survey representative for the population of interest.
Restrict population to consumers or consumer days only

Boolean

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

Boolean

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

AlphaNumeric

Set of consumed foods that are of particular interest for restricting the consumers / consumption days.
Consumption subset: restrict to consumptions of specific foods

Boolean

If checked, then the consumptions are restricted to those of the specified food-as-eaten subset.
Selected foods-as-eaten

AlphaNumeric

Set of consumed foods that are of particular interest.
Ignore sampling weights

Boolean

If checked, individual sampling weights are not used (sampling weight = 1). If unchecked, the specified sampling weights are used.
Match consumer selection to population definition options
IndividualSubsetType 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

Boolean

Filter out all individuals with less than N survey days.
N (number of days in survey)

Numeric

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)

Numeric

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

AlphaNumeric

Select one or more individual(day) properties to filter the individuals(days) in the population.

Uncertainty settings

Table 33 Uncertainty settings for module Consumptions.
Name Type Description
Resample individuals

Boolean

Individual data are resampled from the original database using the bootstrap methodology (Efron 1979, Efron & Tibshirani 1993).
Resample portion sizes

Boolean

Specifies whether portion sizes should be resampled based on food consumption quantification data, see (Souverein et al. 2011).
