The 2008/09 New Zealand Adult Nutrition Survey was carried out from October 2008 to October 2009. A total of 4721 adults aged 15+ years participated, including 1040 Māori and 757 Pacific peoples.
The report presents key findings from the survey, including:
- energy and nutrient intake
- dietary sources of nutrients
- dietary habits
- dietary supplement use
- food security.
The report also includes results from the examination component of the survey, including:
- body size

Where appropriate, data were compared to the 1997 National Nutrition Survey to examine changes over time.
