“…Self‐reported PCOS diagnosis was strengthened through collection of supporting self‐report information on the use of blood tests or ultrasound to confirm diagnosis. While the use of more comprehensive assessments of dietary intake would have strengthened the study further, the use of single‐item questions for key food items such as fruit and vegetable intake are considered a reasonable proxy …”

Summary Objectives To investigate the risk of pregnancy complications in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome after consideration of lifestyle factors. Design Prospective cohort. Patients and measurements Participants (n = 5628) were apparently healthy nulliparous women with singleton pregnancies from the Screening for Pregnancy Endpoints study in New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom and Ireland. Multivariable regression models were performed assessing the association of self‐reported polycystic ovary syndrome status with pregnancy complications with consideration of lifestyle factors at the 15th week of gestation. Results Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (n = 354) were older, had a higher socio‐economic index and body mass index and were less likely to consume alcohol and smoke but more likely to do vigorous exercise and take multivitamins. In univariable analysis, polycystic ovary syndrome was associated with increased risk of gestational diabetes (OR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.2, 4.0). In multivariable models, polycystic ovary syndrome was only significantly associated with decreased risk of large for gestational age (OR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.40, 0.98) with a population attributable risk of 0.22%. None of the other outcomes were attributable to polycystic ovary syndrome status. Conclusions Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with a lower risk of large for gestational age infants. In this low‐risk population, the risk of pregnancy complications was not increased in women with polycystic ovary syndrome who were following a healthy lifestyle. Further studies are warranted assessing the contribution of lifestyle factors to the risk of pregnancy complications in higher risk groups of women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome.

“…To evaluate the C-FFQ, recommendations [21] and other similar studies were considered, and the C-FFQ was compared with the validated EFSA-Q, which contains several common elements, and with a 24HDR [12,21,[25][26][27]. Both approximations have been widely used as reference methods for developing new FFQ.…”

“…C-FFQ includes a quite considerable number of foods with cocoa, that are absent in the EFSA-Q and also in other questionnaires with more items [20,22,27]. For this reason, the total frequency of cocoa product consumption was much higher in the C-FFQ than in the EFSA-Q.…”

Abstract:Objective: Cocoa has been highlighted as a food with potential benefits to human health because its content in polyphenols. However, few studies show the contribution of cocoa and chocolate products in polyphenol intake. The aim of this work was to develop a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for evaluating the intake of food products containing cocoa (C-FFQ).Methods: A sample of 50 university students was recruited to complete the 90-item questionnaire, a validated questionnaire about chocolate and energy drink intake (EFSA-Q) as well as a 24-hour dietary recall (24HDR). Spearman's correlation test, Bland-Altman plots and quintile classification analysis were conducted together with the Wilcoxon test and descriptive statistics.Results: Significant correlations between the C-FFQ and the EFSA-Q for most common cocoa/chocolate products have been observed (p<0.05) as well between data from the C-FFQ and 24HDR (p<0.05). A variety of cocoa/chocolate products frequently consumed by the participants, were detected by the C-FFQ and 24HDR whereas they were not included in the EFSA-Q. According the C-FFQ, chocolate bars were the main source of cocoa in university students, but dairy products also provided an important amount of cocoa. Conclusion:The developed C-FFQ questionnaire can be considered as a valid option for assessing the consumption frequency of cocoa/chocolate-derived products, thereby allowing the evaluation of cocoa polyphenol intake in further studies.

“…Comparison and validation of short tools such as the one conducted by Cook et al 20 supports its use to establish population needs. The fact Cook et al found that using a SQ for assessing fruit consumption, a SQ for vegetable consumption and a 5 item Vegetable Fruit Questionnaire (VFQ) could replace a longer FFQ for estimation of population intakes of these foods and for screening its adequacy is an interesting finding, and is valuable and give some alternatives to the tradi-…”
