In cfree14/GENuS: Global Expanded Nutrient Supply (GENuS) Database

Global Expanded Nutrient Supply (GENuS) Database

Overview

This R packages contains national and subnational nutrient supplies estimated by the Global Expanded Nutrient Supply (GENuS) model developed by Smith et al. (2016):

• Smith, M.R., Micha, R., Golden, C.D., Mozaffarian, D., Myers, S.S. (2016) Global Expanded Nutrient Supply (GENuS) model: a new method for estimating the global dietary supply of nutrients. PloS One 11(1): e0146976.

Installation

The "GENuS" R package can be installed from GitHub with:

# Run if you don't already have devtools installed
install.packages("devtools")

# Run once devtools is successfully installed
devtools::install_github("cfree14/GENuS", force=T)
library(GENuS)

Datasets

The package contains the following datasets:

1. Food composition tables for GENuS: ?genus_fcts
2. Edible food supply by country and year (1961-2011): ?genus_food_cntry
3. Edible food supply by country, age, and sex in 2011: ?genus_food_agesex_2011
4. Nutrient supply by country and year (1961-2011): ?genus_nutr_cntry
5. Nutrient supply by country, age, and sex in 2011: ?genus_nutr_agesex_2011
6. Nutrient supply by country and food in 2011: ?genus_nutr_food_2011
7. Nutrient supply (incl. fortification) by country in 2011: ?genus_nutr_fort_cntry_2011
8. Nutrient supply (incl. fortification) by country, age, and sex in 2011: ?genus_nutr_fort_agesex_2011

The data were accessed from this Harvard Dataverse repository and formatted by Chris Free. Please contact Chris Free ([e-mail]) with questions about this repository and the original authors with questions about the data, model, or paper.
