Assessment of energy and macronutrient intake in young men: a comparison of 4-day food record and 24-hour dietary recall

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to assess the quantitative agreement between a 4-day food record and a 24-hour dietary recall in young men. METHODS: Thirty-four healthy men aged 18-25 years had their food intake estimated by 4-day food record within one week following 24-hour dietary recall in a cross-sectional study. Resting metabolic rate was assessed by indirect calorimetry and Energy Expenditure was estimated by physical activity records completed simultaneously with food intake records. The validity of food records was determined by direct comparison of Energy Intake and Energy Expenditure (95% confidence interval for Energy Intake/Energy Expenditure). RESULTS: There were good agreements between the measurements of energy and macronutrient intakes by 24-hour dietary recall and 4-day food record at the group level, but not at the individual level. Compared to energy expenditure, about 20% and 9% of participants underreported their Energy Intake by 4-day food record and 24-hour dietary recall, respectively. Over 30% of underreporters of Energy Intake estimated by 24-hour dietary recall underreported Energy Intake estimated by 4-day food record. CONCLUSION: Both diet methods, 24-hour dietary recall and 4-day food record, may be used to collect data at the group level, but not at the individual level. Both methods, however, appear to underestimate Energy Intake. Underreporting may be subject-specific and appears that is more difficult to retrieve valid dietary data from some people than others.

Comparison of food consumption and nutrient intake assessed with three dietary assessment methods: results of the German National Nutrition Survey II

“…Few studies observed similar or lower energy and nutrient intakes with dietary history interviews in comparison with food records [ 41 – 43 ] or 24-h recalls [ 12 ]. Regarding 24-h recalls and food records, several studies found comparable or only slightly different results between these two methods [ 30 , 44 – 46 ]. This is confirmed by the present study which also shows comparable nutrient intake estimates of 24-h recalls and weighed food records.…”

The Intake of Energy and Selected Nutrients by Thai Urban Sedentary Workers: An Evaluation of Adherence to Dietary Recommendations

“…Similar problems have also been noted in national nutrition surveys, including those conducted in Thailand [ 70 , 71 ]. The 24-hour dietary recall relies on the respondents' memory, and the food record has a heavy record-keeping burden, showing, in some cases, that energy intakes decrease with increasing days of reporting the food consumption [ 72 ].…”

“…A nutrigenômica é uma ciência que estuda a influência de nutrientes sobre a expressão de genes em diferentes tipos celulares, incluindo também o estudo de fatores genéticos que podem alterar a função e/ou expressão de genes envolvidos na absorção, metabolismo, eliminação ou efeitos biológicos de nutrientes (Norheim et al, 2012). (Biró et al, 2002;Liberato et al, 2009;Shim et al, 2014).…”
