“…In other studies 23 -25,28 fewer differences were found and in one study 26 most nutrients were significantly different. The associations between the energy and nutrient intake estimates were higher on average in this study than those reported by Bingham et al 25 , Edington et al 23 and Bonifacj et al 26 , but lower than those reported by Bransby et al 22 , Karvetti and Knuts 27 and Crawford et al 28 . The only other studies presenting the distribution in quartiles of energy and nutrient intakes were those of Bingham et al 25 and Bonifacj et al 26 .…”

Objective: To validate an estimated food record (EFR), using a weighed food record (WFR) as the reference method, for the determination of food consumption and nutrient intakes in a group of Costa Rican adults. Design: For the WFR, all foods consumed by subjects during seven consecutive days were weighed and recorded by nutrition students. Two EFRs (a 4-day and a 3-day record) were recorded by subjects with the use of home measures and photographs to estimate amounts. Setting: Costa Rica. Subjects: Sixty adults: 30 men and 30 women; 30 living in urban and 30 in rural areas. Results: The EFR gave statistically significant lower average intake estimates for energy and 12 of the 22 nutrients examined. The correlation coefficients ranged from 0.68 (polyunsaturated fats) to 0.87 (calcium). The percentage of subjects classified into the same quartile ranged from 45.0% (polyunsaturated fats) to 68.3% (vitamin B 12 ). For all nutrients except vitamin C, 0 or 1.7% were misclassified into extreme quartiles. For food group consumption, the EFR gave statistically significant lower estimates for six of the 17 groups and correlation coefficients ranged from 0.22 (fish) to 0.93 (beverages). Greater differences in estimates of mean energy and nutrient intakes were detected among subjects from rural areas, caused in part by a tendency to underestimate the amounts of rice and beans consumed. Conclusion: Validation of the EFR using a WFR as the reference method gave results that compare favourably with those reported by other authors, and support the use of the EFR for dietary surveys among Costa Rican adults.

“…Subjects were given detailed instructions on how to complete accurately a validated, 12 d semiquantitative food record (Edington et al, 1988) on either 12 consecutive days or from three sequences of 4 consecutive days followed by a few days rest but overall including 3 ± 4 weekend days. The importance of the 12 d recording period being representative of their normal eating patterns was explained to subjects.…”

“…This method of dietary assessment has been shown by Edington et al (1988) to have similar reliability to weighed food records, which are considered the most precise method. As calculated by Bingham (1987), 12 days are required to record individual, long-term iron intake within 10% of the mean.…”

Objective: The study was designed to investigate the iron intake and status of Australian, male vegetarians aged between 20 and 50 y. Design: Cross-sectional comparison of male vegetarians and ageasex matched omnivores. Setting: Free-living community subjects. Subjects: 39 ovolactovegetarians, 10 vegans and 25 omnivores were recruited by local advertisement. Outcome measures: A 12-d semiquantitative dietary record to assess iron and zinc intake. Iron status was assessed by measurement of serum ferritin and haemoglobin concentrations. Results: Mean (s.d.) daily iron intakes of both the ovolactovegetarians (20.4 (7.7) mgad) and vegans (22.9 (6.2) mgad), were signi®cantly higher than the omnivores' intake of 15.8 (4.5) mgad. Ovo-lactovegetarians and vegans had signi®cantly (P`0.001 and P`0.05, respectively) lower serum ferritin concentrations than omnivores: mean (s.d.): 64 (46.9), 65 (49.9) and 121 (72.5) ngaml, respectively. Signi®cantly more ovolactovegetarians and vegans than omnivores had serum ferritin concentrations below 25 ngaml and below 12 ngaml (P`0.05). A higher proportion of omnivores had concentrations above 200 ngaml (P`0.05). The differences in serum ferritin concentrations between the vegetarians and omnivores remained signi®cant even after exclusion of iron supplement users. Conclusion: Australian male vegetarians had iron intakes higher than those of omnivores and above recommended levels, but their iron status was signi®cantly lower.

“…When foods were eaten out of the home, self-reported estimations using approximate household measures or photographs of servings (Eddington et al, 1989) were used and later converted to weights. Foodcodes and weights were entered twice onto spreadsheets (Excel v.4.0, Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, USA) and compared and corrected (with reference to the diaries) for differences.…”

Measuring fruit and vegetable intake: is five-a-day enough?

Objective: Validation of a self-monitoring`portions' measurement of fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption against a standard of weighed intakes. Design: Component of a randomized controlled trial. Setting: Subjects attended research centres in Reading and Glasgow for instruction and monitoring but undertook free-living dietary changes at home. Subjects: A study sample of 42 adult men and women ful®lling the main recruitment criterion of eating less than ®ve F&V portions/day but contemplating increasing intakes and providing weighted baseline reported energy intakes exceeding (estimated basal metabolic rate 6 1.1). Interventions: Subjects attended an intensive group advice session which included the speci®c relationship of high F&V intake with reduced risk of disease; practicalities; portion de®nition and measurement recording. The target was to exceed ®ve F&V portions/day for 8 weeks. Main outcome measures: Self-recorded simultaneous weighed inventories and F&V portion measures. Results: Data from subjects who were not evident under-recorders showed correlations between portion and weighed intakes of r 0.73, (P`0.000), although the portions measure tended to under-estimate intakes. Using 80 g/portion the`5-a-day' concept tends to create false negatives (namely consumption could be greater than 400 g whilst recording fewer than ®ve discrete portions) but rarely false positives (namely recorded consumption of less than 400 g did not give measures of more than ®ve discrete portions). Conclusions: The data suggest that the ®ve portions F&V/day health message, if used in conjunction with de®ned discrete portions, would encourage desirable consumption exceeding 400 g.
