“…Because of measurement error associated with FFQs, researchers have utilized more expensive and time-consuming diet records and 24-h diet recalls as reference instruments to calibrate the FFQs. Only a small number of studies have been reported which related DLW, an unbiased reference biomarker of total energy intake, to energy misreporting from diet records and the 24-h diet recall (Seale and Rumpler, 1997;Kroke et al, 1999;Black et al, 2000;Trabulsi and Schoeller, 2001;Weber et al, 2001;Hill and Davies, 2002;Subar et al, 2003). Most of the previous studies, except the Observing Protein and Energy Nutrition (OPEN) study (Subar et al, 2003) were small.…”

Objective:We assessed the extent of energy misreporting from the use of a self-administered 7-day diet record (7-DDR) and a widely used food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) compared to total energy expenditure from doubly labeled water (DLW) in a group of postmenopausal women. Design: At baseline, 65 healthy postmenopausal women were instructed to fill out the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) FFQ and a 7-DDR. Average total energy expenditure using the DLW method was also performed at baseline. Results: On average, the women underestimated total energy intake compared to total energy expenditure assessed from DLW by 37% on the 7-DDR and 42% on the FFQ. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the interpretation of findings from the 7-DDR-and FFQ-based energy-disease association studies in postmenopausal women needs further evaluation. IntroductionNutritional epidemiologists have long recognized that selfreported dietary intake data underestimate energy intake, but uncertainty remains about its magnitude in specific populations. A population of interest is postmenopausal women because although natural menopause represents a normal aspect of aging, it is also associated with increased risk for a variety of diseases such as osteoporosis (Eichner et al., 2003), type 1 diabetes (Dorman et al., 2001), cardiovascular diseases (Gorodeski, 1994, and breast cancer (Edwards et al., 2002). Because numerous studies use data from self-reported questionnaires to assess the association between diet and disease in postmenopausal women it is important to understand the magnitude of dietary intake misreporting in this population. Energy intake is a very critical component of the relationship between diet and disease because nutritional epidemiologists only consider the associations with nutrients as primary if the effects are independent of caloric intake resulting from differences of body size and energy expenditure level (Willett and Stampfer, 1996). For this reason it has become very popular (if not mandatory) to adjust for total energy intake measured by dietary questionnaires in multivariate models to assess the independent effect of nutrients on disease. The limitation is that dietary questionnaires may estimate energy intake rather poorly (Black et al., 1997;Hill and Davies, 2001;Subar et al., 2003). Thus, it is important to understand the extent of energy intake misreporting from dietary questionnaires and this can only be achieved when the comparison is made to a well-established biomarker for energy intake. Identification of the quantitative characteristics of the misreporting of energy intake may be useful to develop better diet questionnaires, to adjust for dietary measurement error, and to aid in the interpretation of epidemiological studies of diet-disease associations in postmenopausal women.The purpose of our study was to assess the extent of energy intake misreporting computed from a 7-day dietary record (7-DDR) and the widely used National Cancer Institute's food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) (Subar et al., 2001) ...

Objective: To validate a diet history questionnaire (DHQ) using a weighed food record (WFR) as the standard method in the estimation of food consumption and nutrient intake in a group of adults. Design: WFR: all foods consumed by subjects during 7 consecutive days were weighed and recorded by nutrition students. Two DHQ interviews were carried out on days 1 (first diet history questionnaire, DHQ1) and 28 (second diet history questionnaire, DHQ2). Setting: Costa Rica. Subjects: Sixty adults: 30 men and 30 women; 30 living in urban and 30 in rural areas. Results: In comparison to the WFR, the DHQ1 gave statistically significant higher estimates of the mean intake of 19 nutrients for men and of three nutrients for women. The uncorrected correlation coefficients for nutrient intake according to both methods ranged from 0.40 to 0.83 for males and from 0.22 to 0.62 for females. Percentage of subjects classified in the same quartiles of nutrient intake according to each method ranged from 33.3% to 63.3% for males and from 23.3% to 53.3% for females. Misclassification in extreme quartiles ranged from 0% to 13.3% for both sexes. The mean food group consumption, according to the DHQ1, when compared with the WFR, gave statistically significant differences for three of the 18 food groups for men and for two groups in the case of women. The two applications of the DHQ gave similar results. Conclusion: Validation of a DHQ using a WFR as the standard method gave results that compare favourably with those reported by other authors. This study found important differences in the response of men and women to the DHQ: among men, the estimates of mean nutrient intake from DHQ1 were significantly greater than those of the WFR, while in the case of women, the mean nutrient intake estimates from both methods were not significantly different. There was a higher degree of correlation between the DHQ1 and the WFR mean nutrient intakes among men than among women. The DHQ showed good reproducibility. Keywords Diet History Questionnaire Dietary assessment methods Nutritional epidemiologyThe health and nutrition situation of the Costa Rican population is one of transition. The health indicators show a reduction in the incidence of childhood infectious diseases and an increase in chronic diseases among adults 1 , a transformation that is associated, among other things, with changing lifestyle patterns and, more specifically, changes in diet. A few studies have been carried out in Costa Rica on the relationship between diet and chronic diseases. Data have been published on the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors 2 , cervical cancer 3-5 and gastric cancer 6-10 , which is of special interest as Costa Rica has one of the highest incidence and death rates for this type of cancer in the world 11 .The study of diet in epidemiological research requires methods that measure food consumption over the longer rather than shorter term, which can be applied to groups with different characteristics and not just those who are highly motivated an...

“…4 The DLW method has been validated against both gaseous exchange (GE) (considered to be the gold standard for the estimation of energy expenditure (EE)), [5][6][7][8][9] and energy balance studies. 10,11 Some variation has been reported between the results of validation studies, which has been attributed to the different physiological states of the individuals and errors associated with different analytical methods undertaken by each laboratory.

OBJECTIVE:To establish validity of the bicarbonate-urea (BU) method against direct measurements of gaseous exchange (GE) in a whole-body indirect calorimeter and to compare BU and doubly labelled water (DLW) measurements in free-living conditions in the same group of grossly obese women. DESIGN: Energy expenditure (EE) was estimated by the BU method over 24 h concurrently with whole-body indirect calorimetry and subsequently over 5 consecutive days at home concurrently with 14 day DLW. Six women, body mass index (BMI) 52.4710.4 kg/m 2 (s.d.), were studied. RESULTS: Total energy expenditure (TEE) measurements by BU and GE within the metabolic chamber were not significantly different (BU ¼ 11.7971.89 MJ/day and GE ¼ 11.6471.86 MJ/day; mean difference, 0.2570.49 MJ/day, P40.05). Free-living TEE derived from BU and DLW was also similar (13.2871.86 and 13.8672.25 MJ/day, respectively; mean difference 0.1771.33 MJ/day, Po0.05). The measured physical activity level (PAL) in these very obese subjects was within the range reported in other free-living studies in less obese individuals (1.6270.14 using DLW and 1.5670.20 using BU). The BU method was well tolerated by the subjects. CONCLUSIONS: This study in grossly obese subjects, heavier than those participating in previous studies involving tracer methods, demonstrates validity of the BU against GE under controlled metabolic conditions, and the equivalence between BU and DLW under free-living conditions. The results suggest that both tracer methods are valid in this population group. This study also demonstrates the practicalities of using the BU method over 5 days, the longest application of the method so far.
