Micronutrients Database
Interactive platform of the Micronutrients database with data published in reports and manuscripts on the micronutrient status of populations representative at national level.
The Micronutrients Database was first developed as part of the Vitamin and Mineral Nutrition Information System (VMNIS), formerly known as the Micronutrient Deficiency Information System, in 1991. After a thorough evaluation of the database from the epidemiologic
and public health informatics perspectives, the database has been upgraded and expanded to include 40 indicators of the status of 17 micronutrients or micronutrient-related conditions, covering both deficiency and excess.
If you are aware of
data not already in the database, we encourage you to send the published survey report or manuscript to NFSDATA@who.int
