Table 1.

The selected foods with their (weighted) percentage of never-consumers and daily consumers, Belgian National Food Consumption Survey 2004

Percentage of never-consumers Weighted percentage of never-consumers Daily consumers
Water 1.9% 1.8% 79.0%
Cheese 6.7% 4.6% 23.3%
Fat Spread 31.7% 29.1% 39.3%

The BNFCS2004 made use of stratified sampling. To make the sample representative for the whole Belgian population (between 15 and 74 years) a weighting factor was calculated to compensate for the unequal sampling probability. The weighting factor can be used to convert the percentage of never-consumers towards the weighted percentage of never-consumers
