“…A type of measurement error that is especially relevant to epidemiologic study of diet and body weight is the systematic within-person error caused by under-reporting of dietary intake by some overweight individuals (Braitman et al, 1985) and by deliberate dieting in response to weight gain (Lissner & Heitmann, 1995). The effect of this error on diet±body weight relationship can not be estimated, but it is likely to be signi®cant in many situations.…”

Objectives: To examine the effect of measurement error in dietary data on the relationship between diet and body mass index (BMI). To correct for the effect of measurement error on diet±BMI association by using replicate measurements of diet. The effect of measurement error on diet±BMI relationship was simulated, and its implications are discussed. Design: Prospective study design. Setting: The ®rst and second China Health and Nutrition Survey conducted in 1989 and 1991, respectively. Subjects: Three thousand, four hundred and seventy-nine adults age 20±45 y at the 1989 survey. Methods: Statistical methods were used to demonstrate the effect of measurement error in dietary data on the diet-BMI association. Results: By using the average of three replicate 24 h dietary recalls, the attenuation of diet-BMI association was reduced substantially. The regression coef®cients of fat and energy intakes differed markedly from those computed by using only single measurement of diet. Conclusions: Measurement error in dietary data may signi®cantly attenuate the diet-disease association. Where appropriate, speci®c emphasis may be needed to address the problem of measurement error in the study of dietdisease relationship.

“…14 Furthermore, epidemiologic studies of diet and body weight are complicated by the dif®culty in measuring dietary intake of a free-living population, resulting in measurement errors in dietary data. These errors may be caused, for example, by the under-reporting of intake by some overweight individuals 9 and by the daily variation in food intake of the same individual. 15 Despite these dif®culties, there are longitudinal studies that have shown a positive relationship between dietary fat and body weight or change in body weight.…”

Changes in diet and physical activity affect the body mass index of Chinese adults

et al. 1998

OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between diet, particularly dietary fat intake, and body mass index (BMI). DESIGN: Prospective study of adults who participated in the 1989 and 1991 China Health and Nutrition Survey. SUBJECTS: 3484 adults aged 20±45 at baseline (1989) survey. MEASUREMENTS: Measurement of dietary intake with replicated 24 h dietary recalls. Anthropometric measurements. Measurements of physical activity, smoking habit and socio-economic factors. RESULTS: Change in fat intake was positively associated with change in BMI in men (b b 0.00036, P 0.0001), and change in physical activity level was inversely associated with change in BMI in women (b b 70.12, P 0.02). Energy intake, physical activity and major socio-economic factors were related to BMI in cross-sectional analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Diet is becoming an increasingly important determinant of body weight in this population, where fat and energy consumption has been increasing steadily during the past decade.

“…9,10 In contrast, observations from some crosssectional studies have shown an inverse association between energy intake and obesity. 11,12 One explanation for the inverse association is an underestimation of food intake by obese individuals. 11,12 Another explanation is habitually lower physical activity levels among obese individuals.…”

“…11,12 One explanation for the inverse association is an underestimation of food intake by obese individuals. 11,12 Another explanation is habitually lower physical activity levels among obese individuals. 13 A third explanation is that dietary factors, independent of total energy, may differentially affect weight gain with obese individuals consuming different nutrients or following different dietary patterns than nonobese individuals.…”

Dietary factors in relation to weight change among men and women from two southeastern New England communities

et al. 1997

OBJECTIVE: Dietary factors, independent of total energy, may be important in promoting obesity. We examined prospectively the relationship between baseline diet composition and weight gain among adult men and women from southeastern New England. DESIGN: The prospective association of nutrient consumption and weight change was examined in a randomly selected cohort examined four years apart. SUBJECTS: Adults aged 18 through 64 years from two communities in Southeastern New England were randomly selected for the study after being interviewed in their homes. The present investigation is based on a subgroup of 465 individuals who completed a food-frequency questionnaire in 1986 or 1987 and were reinterviewed four years later. STATISTICAL ANALYSES: Multiple regression analyses were used to determine the association of weight change with different nutrients and food groups after adjusting for age, smoking status, baseline body mass index, physical activity level, and total energy. RESULTS: Total energy was positively associated with weight gain and age was inversely associated with weight gain. None of the nutrients or food groups were signi®cantly related to weight gain. CONCLUSIONS: These ®ndings indicate that weight gain increased with increasing baseline total energy intake, particularly in the young. Future research is required to determine ways of decreasing energy intake in younger individuals.
