“…They found a correlation of 0.28, as did Byers et al (1983) for milk. Jensen et al (1984) found higher values over a 15±25 y period for whole milk (0.42) as well as for milk products (0.37).…”

“…Medicine use might increase with increasing age in a middle-aged population. The longitudinal development of dairy intake was examined by reports of Byers et al (1983) and Jensen et al (1984). These studies were based on a 15±25 y time period in 175 and 79 middle-aged males and females with a median age of 42 and 37 y respectively.…”

“…This concept is referred to as`tracking' (Kemper et al, 1990) and is used to describe the ability to predict future values from early measurements. The few studies which report tracking of calcium intake were carried out in young children (Singer et al, 1995;Stein et al, 1991) or in middle-aged and older adults (Byers et al, 1983;Goldbohm et al, 1995;Heaney et al, 1990;Jensen et al, 1984). To our knowledge, no longitudinal studies examined tracking of calcium intake from adolescence to adulthood.…”

Objectives: Because of growing interest in the potential role of calcium in preventive pediatric strategies against osteoporosis, the longitudinal development and tracking of calcium and dairy intake from adolescence into adulthood was addressed. Design: In the Amsterdam Growth and Health Study, a group of 84 males and 98 females were followed over a 15 y period from age 13±27 y. The calcium and dairy intake was assessed six times by a cross-check dietary history method. To assess tracking, two traditional approaches, interperiod correlation coef®cients and percent of subjects who remained in the same quartile of calcium intake over time, and a new approach based on generalized estimating equations were used. Results: The mean calcium intake was relatively high and increased over time (30%). The tracking of calcium and dairy intake from adolescence into adulthood was moderate in both sexes (for example the correlation for calcium was 0.43 in males and 0.38 in females). Conclusions: The predictability of calcium intake over time does not seem to be suf®ciently strong to identify teenagers who are likely to maintain an inadequate calcium intake in adulthood. Therefore, the identi®cation and treatment of subjects with a low calcium intake cannot be limited to the teenage period but should be extended into adulthood.

“…However, the current dietary habits are found to provide as good information about the past diet as evaluating the habits by retrospective methods (Jensen et al, 1984). On this basis, we decided to get information about the diet from the time before the disease was manifest.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to elucidate the in¯uence of social, dietary and environmental factors on the incidence of malignant epithelial tumours in the upper digestive tract and on the prognosis of patients with these cancers. Design: A population-based case-control study was carried out, and the patients in the study were included in a survival analysis. Setting: The study was carried out at the

“…Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that reproducibility itself does not demonstrate the validity of dietary memories. The influence of current diet on past diet reporting has been well documented (45)(46)(47)(48) and in the case of the Lifetime Diet Questionnaire it could be argued that the questionnaire's reproducibility may be due to participants consistently reporting similar versions of their current dietary intake for all periods and across both questionnaire time points. However, dietary patterns have been shown to change over time (21,26,49) and so it could be expected that if the questionnaire was validly assessing lifetime memory, there would be stronger associations between two recalls of the same dietary period than between that life period and a later life period.…”

Objective: To demonstrate test-retest reliability (reproducibility) of a new selfadministered lifetime diet questionnaire, with a focus on foods relevant to cognitive health in older age. Design: The reproducibility of dietary recall over four or five life periods was assessed by administering the questionnaire at two time points to an older cohort. The period between questionnaire administrations was 7 weeks. Polychoric correlations measured the association between recall at time 1 and time 2 and the weighted k statistic measured the level of recall agreement for food groups across the two administrations of the questionnaire. Setting: Adelaide, South Australia. Subjects: Fifty-two cognitively healthy, older-age, community-dwelling adults completed the Lifetime Diet Questionnaire; mean age 81?8 (SD 4?4) years, range 70-90 years. Results: The questionnaire showed very good reproducibility in this sample with a mean polychoric correlation coefficient of 0?81 between administration at time 1 and time 2, and an average weighted k of 0?49 for the level of recall agreement between food groups. Conclusions: The demonstrated reliability of this lifetime diet questionnaire makes it a useful tool to assess potential relationships between long-term dietary intake and laterage cognitive outcomes.
