The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has released a detailed overview of the 2023 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NATSINPAS) microdata. The release explains that basic microdata for 2023 will be available in the second quarter of 2026, while detailed microdata for both the 2023 and 2012‑13 surveys can be accessed through DataLab. The 2023 survey differs from its predecessor by using an accelerometer instead of a pedometer, updating the dietary recall tool, and incorporating changes to nutrition and physical activity guidelines. The data include demographics, household details, employment, education, health status, dietary recall, physical activity and sleep measures. Weight variables FINHHWT and FINPERWT are provided for household and selected‑person levels, respectively. The release also outlines record counts and accelerometer file structures.
