“…Even if our methods for assessment of energy intake or of physical activity would not yield accurate results, potential error in measurement would have remained the same over time and thus, would not explain changes over time. In addition, the instrument for assessing food and nutrient intake was also validated with regard to energy intake (Lührmann et al, 1999), thus, it can be also assumed that the results for energy intake are fairly reliable. In our opinion the most likely explanation why GISELA subjects did not increase their weight may be as follows: it is well known that increasing age is associated with a higher prevalence of diseases, as well as a higher intake of medicines (Bergmann and Wiholm, 1981;Van den Akker et al, 1998).…”

Background/Objectives: This study investigates age-dependent changes in different components of energy expenditure (EE) within the longitudinal study on nutrition and health status in an aging population in Giessen, Germany (GISELA). Subjects/Methods: Between 1994 and 2006, data obtained at a total of 3033 visits from 363 women and 153 men with a mean initial age of 67.4 ± 5.9 and 66.9 ± 5.2 years, respectively, were evaluated. The mean duration of follow-up was 8 years.Resting metabolic rate (RMR) was assessed by indirect calorimetry and physical activity patterns were assessed by questionnaire. EE of physical activity and total EE (TEE) were calculated using multipliers for RMR. Energy intake was determined through a validated 3-day estimated dietary record. Linear mixed models were used to analyze the influence of age on EE adjusted for covariates. Results: Resting metabolic rate decreased in women and men by 158 and 326 kJ/d per decade, respectively; after considering changes in body composition and fat distribution, respective decreases were 81 and 286 kJ/d per decade. EE of physical activity decreased similarly in both sexes (472 kJ/d per decade). TEE dropped in women and men by 540 and 823 kJ/d per decade, respectively. No statistically significant changes in energy intake and body weight were observed in the course of follow-up. Conclusions: The age-dependent decrease in TEE is mainly due to a decrease in physical activity. The stable energy intake and body weight of the GISELA subjects may be indicators for a relatively good health status.

“…First, although a 3-day food diary has frequently been used to study nutrient intake in older adults (Melanson et al, 2006), and similar assessments have been validated (e.g. Luhrmann et al, 1999), it is more subjective and prone to error than other more objective measures (e.g. blood).…”

Greater intake of vitamins B6 and B12 spares gray matter in healthy elderly: A voxel-based morphometry study

et al. 2008

Previous studies have reported that high concentrations of homocysteine and lower concentrations of vitamin B6, B12, and folate increase the risk for cognitive decline and pathology in aging populations. In this cross-sectional study, high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and a 3-day food diary were collected on 32 community-dwelling adults between the ages of 59 and 79. We examined the relation between vitamin B6, B12, and folate intake on cortical volume using an optimized voxel-based morphometry (VBM) method and global gray and white matter volume after correcting for age, sex, body mass index, calorie intake, and education. All participants met or surpassed the recommended daily intake for these vitamins. In the VBM analysis, we found that adults with greater vitamin B6 intake had greater gray matter volume along the medial wall, anterior cingulate cortex, medial parietal cortex, middle temporal gyrus, and superior frontal gyrus, whereas people with greater B12 intake had greater volume in the left and right superior parietal sulcus. These effects were driven by vitamin supplementation and were negated when only examining vitamin intake from diet. Folate had no effect on brain volume. Furthermore, there was no relationship between vitamin B6, B12, or folate intake on global brain volume measures, indicating that VBM methods are more sensitive for detecting localized differences in gray matter volume than global measures. These results are discussed in relation to a growing literature on vitamin intake on agerelated neurocognitive deterioration.

An easy-to-use semiquantitative food record validated for energy intake by using doubly labelled water technique

et al. 2005

Background: Estimating dietary intake is important for both epidemiological and clinical studies, but often lacks accuracy. Objective: To investigate the accuracy and validity of energy intake estimated by an easy-to-use semiquantitative food record (EI SQFR ) compared to total energy expenditure (TEE) estimated by doubly labelled water technique (EE DLW ). Design: TEE was measured in 29 nonobese subjects using the doubly labelled water method over a period of 14 days. Within this period, subjects reported their food consumption by a newly developed semiquantitative food record for 4 consecutive days. Energy intake was calculated using the German Food Code and Nutrition Data Base BLS II.3. Results: A good correlation was observed between EI SQFR and EE DLW (r ¼ 0.685, Po0.001). The mean difference between EI SQFR and EE DLW was À1.772.6 MJ/day (À14721%, P ¼ 0.002). An underestimation of EI SQFR o10% was observed in nine subjects (31%), of 10-20% in six subjects (21%), and of 420% in nine subjects (31%). In five subjects (17%), an overestimation of EI SQFR was observed. Conclusions:The easy-to-use semiquantitative food record provided good estimates of EI in free-living and nonobese adults without prior detailed verbal instructions. The presented food record has limitations regarding accuracy at the individual level.
