“…An analysis, performed by Angel M. Ong et al in a group of 108 postmenopausal women, showed FFQ as a simple tool for calcium consumption assessment within 600–1000 mg, as well as for calcium assays in epidemiological studies [28]. A study similar to our internal research was conducted by Jensen in 162 Asians, Spaniards and white population subjects, all of them being the inhabitants of the USA.…”

Summary In the study, we compare two methods used to assess the effects of nourishment on the bone status. Statistical analysis demonstrated a moderate conformity of both methods. Short Food Frequency Questionnaires can be used as short medical screening tool for calcium intake among women over 55 years of life. Introduction Osteoporosis is a civilisation disease, the development of which is, among others, controlled and affected by diet. The factors which promote the health of bones include calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, phosphorus, magnesium, and protein. A number of nutritional epidemiology methods can be applied to assess the effects of nourishment on the bone status, e.g. Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) in its full or short (sFFQ) version or 3-day food record (3DFR). Both methods are known and widely used tools. Methods In the reported study, we attempted to compare and assess the sFFQ and 3DFR tools. Both methods were employed to examine 156 women, the majority of whom presented with an overweight-indicating BMI. An analysis of sFFQ data brought an observation that most of the studied patients (33.3%) consumed milk once a day. Results Based on 3DFR and sFFQ, we compared the measured volumes of consumed calcium which were 557.8 mg/day and 880.7 mg/day, respectively. The Cohen’s kappa calculator was used for a diagnostic evaluation of both tools; the kappa index was 0.5047, demonstrating a moderate conformity of both methods. In addition, sensitivity and specificity indices were calculated, revealing the values of 97% and 12%, respectively. Conclusions sFFQ can be used as a short medical screening. It is suggested to use both the 3DFR, conducted by the patient, and sFFQ, as a complementary method. It is necessary to continue this type of studies and to standardise the methods of nutritional status assessment with regard to selected groups.

“…Nevertheless, there are numerous long and short food frequency questionnaires reported as having accurate and reproducible reporting of calcium intake. [6][7][8] It would also be difficult to perform this type of study (on this scale) using any other means to assess dietary intake. The generalizability of this study, 3 as the authors acknowledged, is another limitation, in that AREDS participants were mainly white, with few black, Hispanic, and Asian participants.…”

“…The questionnaires used in this study are long food frequency questionnaires, which require the participants to remember what they had eaten during the course of a year, something that may be subject to recall difficulties, particularly in an elderly population. Nevertheless, there are numerous long and short food frequency questionnaires reported as having accurate and reproducible reporting of calcium intake . It would also be difficult to perform this type of study (on this scale) using any other means to assess dietary intake.…”

“…Estimated intake of energy, macronutrients, and micronutrients from FFQ was higher and substantial than the reference method (24hR), which has been usually applied in studies of development and validation of FFQ in adult female populations in several countries, including Mexico [10,18,[21][22][23][24]26].…”

Background and Aims: Food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) have been widely used in epidemiologic studies since 1990s, but instruments need to be validated. The aim of this work was to create and assess the validity and reproducibility of an interview administered FFQ to be used in a Mexican women's bone health cohort study, located in Monterrey city, Mexico. Methods: Validation of FFQ formed by 11 food groups and 136 food and beverage items was performed on 40-65-year-old Mexican women (n = 200) by applying 2 FFQ (test method) and six 24-h dietary recalls (24hR, reference method; 1 per season on weekdays and 2 on weekends). Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated of both logs, transformed intakes and energy-adjusted nutrient intakes based on the residual method, and intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated. Results: The relative validity of FFQ against the average of six 24hR for intakes of energy, macronutrients, cholesterol, water, vitamins and minerals required for bone metabolism such as vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus were obtained. Pearson coefficients of correlation show significance (p < 0.05) for the va-lidity, 0.244-0.820 and 0.258-0.794, for energy-unadjusted and adjusted data, respectively. Reproducibility coefficients range 0.186-0.810 for energy-unadjusted data and 0.174-0.597 for energy-adjusted data. Most nutrients showed lower than 5% of misclassification. Conclusion: The designed 136-item FFQ shows acceptable validity and reproducibility, and it is useful to be applied on 40-65-year-old Mexican women for the estimation of nutrient intakes in epidemiological studies.
