“…In the present study, the consumption of pastries, sweets, and ice cream is also to a considerable amount lower in underreporters than in plausible reporters in all three assessment methods. Furthermore, food groups with a high social desirability, such as vegetables and fruit are not expected to be underreported in considerable amounts [59][60][61]. Nevertheless, in weighed food records of the present study underreporters reported raw and cooked vegetables to a sizeable lower extent in comparison with plausible reporters.…”

Purpose Comparison of food consumption, nutrient intake and underreporting of diet history interviews, 24-h recalls and weighed food records to gain further insight into specific strength and limitations of each method and to support the choice of the adequate dietary assessment method. Methods For 677 participants (14-80 years) of the German National Nutrition Survey II confidence intervals for food consumption and nutrient intake were calculated on basis of bootstrapping samples, Cohen's d for the relevance of differences, and intraclass correlation coefficients for the degree of agreement of dietary assessment methods. Low energy reporters were identified with Goldberg cut-offs. Results In 7 of 18 food groups diet history interviews showed higher consumption means than 24-h recalls and weighed food records. Especially mean values of food groups perceived as socially desirable, such as fruit and vegetables, were highest for diet history interviews. For "raw" and "cooked vegetables", the diet history interviews showed a mean consumption of 144 and 109 g/day in comparison with 68 and 70 g/day in 24-h recalls and 76 and 75 g/day in weighed food records, respectively. For "fruit", diet history interviews showed a mean consumption of 256 g/day in comparison with 164 g/day in 24-h recalls and 147 g/day in weighed food records. No major differences regarding underreporting of energy intake were found between dietary assessment methods. Conclusions With regard to estimating food consumption and nutrient intake, 24-h recalls and weighed food records showed smaller differences and better agreement than pairwise comparisons with diet history interviews.

“…Selective under-reporting of OH eating, mainly among obese women, has been observed in other studies using direct methods of assessing food consumption (35,36) . This bias is less probable in our findings since budget data may be less prone to under-reporting, although this is still a possibility.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between out-of-home (OH) eating and overweight and obesity among adults in Brazil. Sit-down meals and soft drinks were the most frequently reported food groups. Both were positively associated with overweight (OR 5 1?34 for meals; OR 5 1?17 for soft drinks, P , 0?05) and obesity (OR 5 1?51 for meals; OR 5 1?39 for soft drinks, P , 0?05) among men, but negatively associated with overweight and obesity among women. Conclusions: OH eating was associated with overweight and obesity only among men, whereas, among women, eating sit-down meals out of home was protective for obesity, suggesting that women make healthier food choices when they eat out of home. Keywords Eating out of home Obesity Household budget survey BrazilThe prevalence of obesity is rising worldwide and also in Brazil (1,2) . In 2003, 40 % of Brazilian adults (over 20 years of age) presented body weight excess (BMI . 25 kg/m 2 ) and 11?1 % were obese (BMI $ 30 kg/m 2 ). The prevalence of obesity in Brazil has been shown to increase along with income among men, while among women this relationship is curvilinear (2) , i.e. prevalences increase in the low-income groups and then decrease in the other income groups.

“…The DR used the USDA Multiple-Pass Method (Conway et al, 2003). In the FR, volunteers were trained on the basis of a validated protocol (Scagliusi et al, 2003) to record food intake during three consecutive days. The FFQ estimated habitual dietary intake within the last month.…”

Characteristics of women who frequently under report their energy intake: a doubly labelled water study

Background/Objectives: We applied three dietary assessment methods and aimed at obtaining a set of physical, social and psychological variables that can discriminate those individuals who did not underreport ('never under-reporters'), those who underreported in one dietary assessment method ('occasional under-reporters') and those who underreported in two or three dietary assessment methods ('frequent under-reporters'). Participants/Methods: Sixty-five women aged 18-57 years were recruited for this study. Total energy expenditure was determined by doubly labelled water, and energy intake was estimated by three 24-h diet recalls, 3-day food records and a food frequency questionnaire. A multiple discriminant analysis was used to identify which of those variables better discriminated the three groups: body mass index (BMI), income, education, social desirability, nutritional knowledge, dietary restraint, physical activity practice, body dissatisfaction and binge-eating symptoms. Results: Twenty-three participants were 'never under-reporters'. Twenty-four participants were 'occasional under-reporters' and 18 were 'frequent under-reporters'. Four variables entered the discriminant model: income, BMI, social desirability and body dissatisfaction. According to potency indices, income contributed the most to the total discriminant power, followed in decreasing order by social desirability score, BMI and body dissatisfaction. Income, social desirability and BMI were the characteristics that mainly separated the 'never under-reporters' from the under-reporters (occasional or frequent). Body dissatisfaction better discriminated the 'occasional under-reporters' from the 'frequent under-reporters'. Conclusions: 'Frequent under-reporters' have a greater BMI, social desirability score, body dissatisfaction score and lower income. These four variables seemed to be able to discriminate individuals who are more prone to systematic under reporting.
