“…All food assessment methods are limited by specific errors [1,2,3]. Therefore, the results obtained from the same respondents, but with other methods, can differ and make their interpretation difficult.…”

“…The food record is a prospective method, independent of the respondent’s memory and usually covers several consecutive days [1,2]. The limitations of this method include, among others, not taking into consideration the long-term variety of consumption, possible changes in dietary habits, and simplification of menus resulting from a significant burden on the respondents [1,2,4,5,6,7,8]. The size of error depends on the time of examination, and on the characteristics of the respondent (e.g., underestimation of intake is more common in women or persons after a slimming diet) [1,4,5,8].…”

The food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and the food record (FR) are among the most common methods used in dietary research. It is important to know that is it possible to use both methods simultaneously in dietary assessment and prepare a single, comprehensive interpretation. The aim of this study was to compare the energy and nutritional value of diets, determined by the FFQ and by the three-day food records of young women. The study involved 84 female students aged 21–26 years (mean of 22.2 ± 0.8 years). Completing the FFQ was preceded by obtaining unweighted food records covering three consecutive days. Energy and nutritional value of diets was assessed for both methods (FFQ-crude, FR-crude). Data obtained for FFQ-crude were adjusted with beta-coefficient equaling 0.5915 (FFQ-adjusted) and regression analysis (FFQ-regressive). The FFQ-adjusted was calculated as FR-crude/FFQ-crude ratio of mean daily energy intake. FFQ-regressive was calculated for energy and each nutrient separately using regression equation, including FFQ-crude and FR-crude as covariates. For FR-crude and FFQ-crude the energy value of diets was standardized to 2000 kcal (FR-standardized, FFQ-standardized). Methods of statistical comparison included a dependent samples t-test, a chi-square test, and the Bland-Altman method. The mean energy intake in FFQ-crude was significantly higher than FR-crude (2740.5 kcal vs. 1621.0 kcal, respectively). For FR-standardized and FFQ-standardized, significance differences were found in the mean intake of 18 out of 31 nutrients, for FR-crude and FFQ-adjusted in 13 out of 31 nutrients and FR-crude and FFQ-regressive in 11 out of 31 nutrients. The Bland-Altman method showed an overestimation of energy and nutrient intake by FFQ-crude in comparison to FR-crude, e.g., total protein was overestimated by 34.7 g/day (95% Confidence Interval, CI: −29.6, 99.0 g/day) and fat by 48.6 g/day (95% CI: −36.4, 133.6 g/day). After regressive transformation of FFQ, the absolute difference between FFQ-regressive and FR-crude equaled 0.0 g/day and 95% CI were much better (e.g., for total protein 95% CI: −32.7, 32.7 g/day, for fat 95% CI: −49.6, 49.6 g/day). In conclusion, differences in nutritional value of diets resulted from overestimating energy intake by the FFQ in comparison to the three-day unweighted food records. Adjustment of energy and nutrient intake applied for the FFQ using various methods, particularly regression equations, significantly improved the agreement between results obtained by both methods and dietary assessment. To obtain the most accurate results in future studies using this FFQ, energy and nutrient intake should be adjusted by the regression equations presented in this paper.

Soeioeeonomie status (SES) and body eomposition of dietary energy under-reporting (UR) and non-under-reporting youth (non-UR) were eompared. Analyses eovered the data obtained from 547 persons aged 15-18 years. SES diseriminants ineluded: deelared eeonomie situation of the family, the size of the plaee of residenee, mother's/father's edueational baekground and main source of mother's/father's ineome. This was used as a basis to ealeulate SES index and to distinguish persons of low, average and high SES. Nutritional patterns were assessed using the 24-h reeall method. U R individuals were established on the basis of energy value of diets, aeeording to eriterion deseribed by Goldberg ei a/. 11991 ]. The body eomposition of respondents was assessed by anthropométrie methods. Due to the low partieipation of the UR boys, the eomparison of SES and body eomposition between the UR and non-UR persons was performed among 278 girls aged 15-17.One hundred and thirty-six UR individuals were identified (24.8% of total sample). UR boys aeeounted for 4.0% of total sample, and UR girls for 20.8% of the total sample. More UR than non-UR girls revealed an average SES index level (38.6% vs. 26.8%, respeetively), and less of them were eharaeterised by a low level of SES index (21.1% vs. 35.4%, respeetively). Differenees in body eomposition and measurements between UR and non-UR individuals were established only for girls aged 15. UR girls aged 15 had a higher body weight (on average by 6.6 kg), BMI (1.8 kg/m^), hip eireumferenee (4.0 em), upper arm muselé eircumferenee (1.9 em), upper arm muselé area (652.0 mm^), fat mass (3.9 kg) and fat free mass (2.7 kg).It was found that under-reporting of energy intake from food was related to sex and SES, and in girls aged 15 years -to body weight and body eomposition. Energy under-reporting was definitely assoeiated with the female sex and in girls aged 15 -by an increased body weight resulting from the inereased amount of fat and muselé tissue. Proper energy reporting by girls was assoeiated with the lowest level of soeioeeonomie status, whieh was related to living in a rural area, a low level of father's edueation and a worse eeonomie situation of the family. The results obtained suggest that for young people, reliability of a nutritional reeall ean be more dependent on their individual features than the features of the soeial environment of their family.

BackgroundDietary habits and adequate dietary intake of antioxidants in the diet may be one of the most important environmental factors for the prevention of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to estimate selenium (Se) concentration, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and total antioxidant status (TAS) in the serum of patients with MS and the influence of dietary habits on the status.Methods101 patients with relapsing-remitting MS (aged 18-58 years), as well as control group of 63 healthy people (aged 19-65 years) were studied. Food-frequency questionnaires were implemented to collect the dietary data. Se concentration in the serum samples was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. GSH-Px activity and TAS in examined serum was measured using the ready-made sets of tests by Randox Laboratories Ltd., UK.ResultsSerum Se concentration and GSH-Px activity in the serum of patients with MS (55.2±16.2 μg/L, 6676.1±2386.4 U/L; respectively) were significantly decreased (p<0.01, p<0.05; respectively) compared with control group (79.2±20.6 μg/L, 8029.9±2650.1 U/L; respectively). A significant correlation (r=0.39, p<0.01) was observed between Se concentration and GSH-Px activity in the serum of examined patients. TAS value in the serum of patients with MS (1.03±0.37 mmol/L) was also significantly lower (p<0.01) than in healthy volunteers (1.48±0.41 mmol/L). Frequent consumption of poultry, bakery products, pulses and fish seemed to increase serum Se concentration in the group of patients; whereas frequent consumption of butter, wholegrain bread, sweet beverages and sugar was found to accompany with lower values of Se in the serum. We have observed significant decrease TAS (p<0.05, p<0.01; respectively) in the serum of smokers and those patients who received immunomodulatory drugs (0.95±0.39 mmol/L, 0.92±0.34 mmol/L; respectively) compared with no-smoking patients and not taking immunomodulators (1.14±0.33 mmol/L, 1.31±0.31 mmol/L; respectively).ConclusionsSerum Se concentration, GSH-Px activity and TAS value were significantly lower in patients with relapsing-remitting MS compared with healthy volunteers. Dietary habits have a significant influence on Se status. Smoking cigarettes and intake of immunomodulatory drugs therapy have a negative impact on TAS of examined patients.
