“…The findings of the present study add to previous WebCAAFE validation study results (22) and to other web-based 24 h recall/record validation studies in children using observation during school meals as a reference method (13,14,(16)(17)(18) .…”

“…The present study used Poisson regression regularly applied to count outcomes such as the number of food items consumed per day, with logarithmic transformation of the counts and population variance assumed to equal the mean consumption, both of which take into account the peculiarities of the measurement error structure in diet validation (32) . The WebCAAFE presents a different framework from other web-based questionnaires (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) mainly because it was formulated as a previous-day recall of frequency of intake of thirty-two food items in each of six daily eating events, so the dietary assessment does not involve a fully quantified 24 h recall of foods and beverages. The cognitive task required for estimating portion size, frequency and averaging may not be compatible with the perceptual and conceptual capacities of children who have not reached the stage of abstract reasoning at approximately 10-11 years of age (26,27,29) .…”

Objective: To estimate reporting bias of WebCAAFE, a web-based questionnaire for the assessment of food intake (recall of frequency of intake of thirty-two food items the day before) and physical activity in schoolchildren. Design: Cross-sectional study. Self-reported food intake on WebCAAFE was compared with direct observation of school meals in five public schools. Additional data included school grade, sex, BMI, socio-economic status and access to Internet at home. Poisson regression was used to calculate the reporting bias (WebCAAFE v. direct observation) and the sample size necessary to detect a statistically significant difference between WebCAAFE reports and at least 75 % compliance with the recommendations for a healthy diet. Setting: Intentional sample of five elementary public schools in Florianopolis, Brazil. Subjects: Schoolchildren (n 629) from 2nd to 5th grades. Results: Moderate bias magnitude was found for most food groups of interest. Frequency of consumption was not related to the bias. Sample sizes necessary to detect the compliance with dietary recommendations varied between four and seventy-four individuals for the different groups investigated. Conclusions: After adjusting for moderate bias, WebCAAFE may be used as a food questionnaire for evaluation of schoolchildren's food compliance on a group level, even with a relatively small sample size. The Strategic Action Plan to Tackle Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases in Brazil, 2011Brazil, -2022 , launched by the Ministry of Health in 2010, defined and prioritized actions and investments necessary to address non-communicable diseases in the next 10 years based on three principles: (i) surveillance, information, evaluation and monitoring; (ii) health promotion; and (iii) integral care. The aim is to diminish obesity rates in 5-9-year-old children and adolescents and to halt the rise of obesity in adults (≥18 years old) (1,2) . In Brazil, there are surveillance systems for adolescents (3) and adults (4) but none for 5-9-year-old-children whose overweight (including obesity) prevalence tripled between 1974 and 2009, from 11 % to over 33 % (5) . Therefore it is necessary to develop surveillance and monitoring systems to determine compliance with the obesity prevalence targets for 5-9-year-old children, set at 8 % for boys and 5 % for girls (2) .Periodic population-based surveys are the principal source of time trends in nutritional status and associated lifestyle factors such as diet and physical activity. Monitoring these parameters over the past decades has shown a dramatic increase in excess weight worldwide, especially in younger generations and children (6)(7)(8) . In many countries, the number and complexity of survey items covering these issues have also increased, incurring higher costs (9) . To strike the right balance between the rising costs and a growing need to update our knowledge on population diet and physical activity, it is of utmost importance to clarify what sort of decision could be made on the basis of such surveys an...

“…All of the tools developed for use with children were self-administered, whereas four of the tools developed for adults were interviewer administered. The youngest age to test a 24HDR tool was 7 years of age (22,45) and the oldest age was 80+ years (28,29) ( Tables 1 and 2). Only three 24HDR tools reported collecting intake data at a food-group level (27,29,46) , including additional choices/questions within each food group to obtain more specific information about intakes.…”

“…The reduced participant burden and time of data collection, associated with web-and computer-based 24-h dietary recall (24HDR) tools, support the use of this method in many different populations. Web-and computer-based 24HDR tools have been used to collect data from various population groups including young children (19)(20)(21)(22) , adolescents (5,6,23) and adults (24)(25)(26)(27) . Two of the comparison and validation studies included in this review recruited elderly participants in their study population (28,29) ; however, the validity of these tools have not been tested explicitly in an elderly population.…”

(24HDR) method is currently the most utilised method for the collection of dietary intake data at a national level. Recently there have been many developments using web-based platforms to collect food intake data using the principles of the 24HDR method. This review identifies web-and computer-based 24HDR tools that have been developed for both children and adult population groups, and examines common design features and the methods used to investigate the performance and validity of these tools. Overall, there is generally good to strong agreement between web-based 24HDR and respective reference measures for intakes of macro-and micronutrients. Embargo lift date

“…Additionally, children and adolescents prefer new technology platforms over more traditional ones (3,4) . Yet, despite the fact that web-based dietary assessment tools for younger age groups are increasingly popular, only a few have been validated thoroughly (5)(6)(7)(8) , thus information regarding the quality of the dietary data is often limited.…”

Objective: To validate estimated intakes of carotenoid-rich foods from a web-based food recall (WebFR) using carotenoids in blood as an objective reference method. Design: Cross-sectional validation study using carotenoids in plasma to evaluate estimated intakes of selected carotenoid-rich foods. Participants recorded their food intake in the WebFR and plasma concentrations of β-carotene, α-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin were measured. Setting: Schools and homes of families in a suburb of the capital of Norway. Subjects: A total of 261 participants in the age groups 8-9 and 12-14 years. Results: Spearman's rank correlation coefficients ranged from 0·30 to 0·44, and cross-classification showed that 71·6-76·6 % of the participants were correctly classified, when comparing the reported intakes of carotenoid-rich foods and concentrations of the corresponding carotenoids in plasma, not including lutein and zeaxanthin. Conclusions: Correlations were acceptable and cross-classification analyses demonstrated that the WebFR was able to rank participants according to their reported intake of foods rich in α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin and lycopene. The WebFR is a promising tool for dietary assessment among children and adolescents.
