Programa para registro de recordatório alimentar de 24 horas: aplicação no Estudo de Riscos Cardiovasculares em Adolescentes

Abstract

Introduction:The Study of Cardiovascular Risk in Adolescents (ERICA) is a national multicenter study whose purpose is to describe the cardiovascular risk profile, including obesity, changes in lipid and glucose metabolism, and blood pressure, of about 75,000 Brazilian adolescents. Objective: To describe the development of a tool for data collection of 24-hour food recall (REC24h) in ERICA and to report its performance in the pilot study. Methods: The Multiple Pass Method was used for the development of the computer program that guides REC24h interview. REC24h-ERICA uses a database composed of 1,626 food items including preparation methods and units of predefined portion sizes. Food consumption data are obtained through interviews and entered directly into REC24h-ERICA, avoiding the use of paper. Results: The pilot study included 1,367 adolescents, of which 1,047 (77%) responded to REC24h. The researchers did not report difficulties in program use, the average duration of interviews was 20 minutes and the interviewers inserted 50 new food items. Conclusion: The program developed was proven suitable for use in large-population studies, even in a country like Brazil, where there is great diversity in eating habits.

Study of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Adolescents (ERICA): results and potentiality

“…Also, in subsample of approximately 42.000 adolescents studying in the morning term, blood was drawn for measuring lipids, glucose, insulin, and glycated hemoglobin 4 . Food consumption was assessed using 24-hour dietary recall questionnaire 1 , with replication in non-consecutive days in a subsample. Information about family morbidity, birth weight of the adolescents and breastfeeding were obtained from a questionnaire sent to the students’ guardians.…”

“…Ainda, em subamostra de cerca de 42.000 adolescentes que estudavam no turno da manhã, foi coletado sangue para dosagem de lipídios, glicose, insulina e hemoglobina glicada. 4 O consumo alimentar foi avaliado utilizando-se inquérito recordatório alimentar de 24 horas, 1 com replicação em dias não consecutivos em parcela da população. Informações sobre morbidade familiar, peso ao nascer do adolescente e amamentação foram obtidas por meio de questionário enviado pelos alunos aos responsáveis.…”

Design of a school randomized trial for nudging students towards healthy diet and physical activity to prevent obesity

“…Food intake will be assessed by a food frequency questionnaire validated for teenagers in Rio de Janeiro [ 32 ] and one 24-hour recall (Rec24-h). Netbooks containing a computer program developed for school use [ 27 , 33 ] based on a technique called “Multiple Pass Method” [ 34 ] will be used.…”

Food consumption on campus is associated with meal eating patterns among college students

“…The ERICA-REC24h software was used to input the data collected in the 24hR. This software was developed from a database consisting of 1,626 food items used in the National Dietary Survey (INA, acronym in Portuguese), which was developed by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, in 2008 -2009 (26,27) . Food items or preparations reported by students that were not on the software food list were either assigned to similar foods preparations, according to a standardized coding process or, exceptionally, manually entered in the database.…”
