Sampling
The City of Buenos Aires has breakdowns by different territorial divisions (Communes, School Districts, Electoral Circumscriptions, etc.). In order to describe and compare the information within it, the survey was based on the decentralization of the City through Communes (Law No. 1,777) as these are political and administrative management units with territorial jurisdiction.
The sample design was probabilistic, with representation by conglomerates of Communes. The allocation of sample sizes was carried out in each Commune in proportion to the number of people in the population of each age group of interest that inhabited it. Within each age group, the sample was selected through a systematic design, previously ordered by Commune - Year of birth - Month of Birth.
For the preparation of the sampling frame of the age groups older than 5 years, they were selected dwellings from the samples of the "Annual Household Survey" 2 of the last 3 years (2008, 2009 and 2010) and of the "Survey of victimization, perception of safety and performance evaluation of the City's police forces of Buenos Aires "(2009) 3. In the case of the three groups comprised of children under 5 years of age, the "Live Births Statistical Reports" 4 of those born after 2006 were used as a framework.
Each sample was complemented with a selection of homes in Tenants and Villas. Previously, the figure of the sensitizer was used to corroborate the existence in the home of individuals with the necessary characteristics in each domain under study and thus "refine" the sampling frame. In Communes 1, 2, 6, 10, 12, 13 and 14, when the selected dwelling corresponded to an apartment, the sensitizer found out (whether or not the respondent was found) if there were other sampling units in the building corresponding to the domains under study. This was done with the objective of being able to have a reserve in case the sample in these communes did not reach the size of effective surveys determined a priori.
The sample was weighted by calibration by fixed marginals, independently in each of the seven age groups. The auxiliary information used for the calibration and adjustment of the internal structures of the sample were the population totals by sex and age groups by Commune obtained from Population Projections generated by the Department of Demographic Analysis of the General Directorate of Statistics and Censuses.

- Face-to-face paper [f2f]
The information about food and beverage intake was collected by professionals with a B.S. in Nutrition trained in the technique and using the 24-hour recall interview method. Interviews were conducted at the respondents' place of residence, during weekdays, weekends, and holidays.
In children younger than 13 years, the information was provided by their mothers or caregivers; in the older ones, the child him/herself answered the 24-hour recall interview, sometimes with the help of an adult. When the child ate out the day before the survey, an attempt was made to obtain the recipe used and, when this was not possible, standardized recipes were used. In the case of children attending public schools, the preparations of the school canteen menu were used and, in the case of private schools, the food service provider was contacted so that they described the menu served.
For each interview, the following information was collected and recorded: the time food was consumed, the amount and the type of food or beverage consumed (specifying the trademark), variety and taste, in the case of industrialized products. Food and beverages were coded at the time of data entry in order to link them through the code assigned to the food chemical composition table. Information about vitamin and/or mineral supplement consumption was obtained in relation to the previous day. The supplement trademark, dosage, and time of consumption were recorded.
