METHODOLOGY
Old Survey Design of the NNS
Features Description
Survey Design One shot (one year) every 5 years
Coverage 17 regions, 81 provinces
National, Regional,
Level of Disaggregation
Provincial for some indicators
Target Number of Households 60,000
Households and all members of the sampled
Target Population
households
Duration of Data Collection 6.5 Months (one shot) for the reference year
Why did we change the design of the NNS?
 Provide Province and HUC Level estimates
for local planning of specific and sensitive
interventions of our stakeholders
 Provide reliable National Level Estimates

annually
Why did we change the design of the NNS?
 Adoption of the new Master Sample of the

PSA to provide reliable estimations at the
Province and HUC Levels
Sampling Design of the 2018 ENNS

2018 Expanded National Nutrition Survey
Sociodemographic and Socioeconomic

Profiles of Households and
Its Individual Members
Socioeconomic Status
• refers to the social standing or class of an individual

or group. It is often measured as a combination of
education, income and occupation.
Adapted from APA’s Socioeconomic Status Office publications

Operational Definition
Wealth Index
• The wealth index is a composite measure of a
household's cumulative living standard. The wealth
index is calculated by principal component analysis
using data on household’s ownership of selected
assets, materials used for housing construction and
types of water access and sanitation facilities.
Wealth Index
• The wealth index categorizes the households into 5
wealth quintiles, allowing us to assess how the
common health and nutrition indicators differ between
the poor and non-poor households.
• For the provincial and HUCs estimates, wealth status is
classified as poor for the bottom 30% of the income
group and the non-poor for the upper 30%.
Highest Educational Attainment*
• refers to the highest grade/year of formal schooling completed by each member of the
household and not the total years attended
• Regrouped into:
a) none - no grade completed
b) elementary level - the stage of formal education concerned with providing the first six years of basic education.
c) secondary level - the stage of formal education following the elementary level concerned primarily with
continuing basic education and expanding it to include the learning of employable gainful skills, usually
corresponding to four years of high school
d) college level - the stage of formal education following the secondary level covering non-degree programs that
have varying duration for three months to three years, concerned primarily with developing strong and
appropriately trained middle-level skilled manpower possessing capabilities supportive of national
development.
e) others - Alternative Learning System, SPED , Arabic Schooling
* Phil. Standard Classification of Education (PSCEd)
Occupation
• The occupation of each individual members of the household, 10
years old and above in the past 6 months
• 2012 Philippine Standard Occupational Codes (PSOC) is a

statistical classification of the different occupational
groups of the working population, including the military
work force in the country
Sociodemographic Profile
• Describes the population groups by:
a) age - refers to the exact age of each household

member as of his/her last birthday
b) sex – categorized the household members of the
households as males and females
c) civil status – or marital status
d) type of residence - urban-rural classification of PSA
Operational Definitions
Civil status
- status of an individual in relation to marriage and classified as:
a) single - a person who has never been married
b) married - a person who has been united in matrimony with another person of
opposite sex through a religious or civil rites. To be considered married, the couple
should still be living together, or if living apart from each other, the separation
must only be temporary (e.g. working elsewhere, attending seminars, etc)
c) separated - a person whose partner has left permanently, with or without legal sanctions.
d) widowed - a person who has been married before, whether formally or
consensually but his/her partner has died and has not remarried at the time of
visit.
e) common law/live-in – those who live together consensually with another as
husband or wife
Household
• an aggregate of persons, generally but not necessarily
bound by ties of kinship, who sleep in the same housing
unit and have a common arrangement for the
preparation and consumption of food.
Household head
• person who generally provides the chief source
of income for the household unit
• adult person, male or female, who is responsible
for the organization and care of the household or
who is regarded as such by the members of the

FOOD SECURITY
“exists when all people, at all times,

have physical and economic access
to sufficient, safe and nutritious food
that meets their dietary needs and
food preferences for an active and
healthy life”.
(World Food Summit, 1996)
FOOD INSECURITY
“limited or uncertain availability of

nutritionally adequate and safe foods or
limited or uncertain ability to acquire
acceptable foods in socially acceptable
ways”
(Institute of Nutrition, 1990)
When recurrent
leads to hunger
and hunger
when prolonged
results to
malnutrition
