“…Two negative kappa values were observed for responses to one nominal, select-all-that-apply type question. These type of questions received the lowest kappa scores in our study, and have also been found to perform worst and receive negative kappa values in other studies we reviewed [37,38].…”

Background: Few existing tools quickly identify dietary behaviours related to dental caries. The objectives of this study were to (i) create a patient-generated questionnaire identifying these dietary behaviours, (ii) capture information on these dietary behaviours in two specific populations via questionnaire pilot testing and (iii) determine questionnaire test-retest reliability. Methods: After development, the questionnaire was reviewed by an expert panel. Cognitive interviewing was conducted, followed by pilot testing in a general university campus population (n = 80) and a university dental clinic (n = 10). Retesting was done with the general campus group (n = 53). Results: Most participants reported never receiving dietary advice from professionals regarding caries. Sugary foods were most often consumed as snacks in the evening or afternoon, then breakfast. In total, 41.3% of campus participants consumed high risk items at least a few times per week or more often. Weekly or more frequent consumption of “other” sugary drinks (e.g., iced tea) was common. In total, 77.6% of questionnaire items had a kappa value representing moderate agreement or greater. Conclusions: Dietary behaviours related to caries were common in this pilot study. Given the high prevalence of caries and low occurrence of prior dietary advice for the same, increased preventive efforts may be warranted.

“…The number of factors retained was determined by multiple criteria: Kaiser's eigenvalue, scree test, parallel analysis and Velicer's minimum average partial (MAP) test (Boateng et al, 2018). The reliability of the retained factors were computed as Cronbach α and their relatedness as corrected item to total correlations (ITC), values ≥ 0.70 and ≥ 0.2, respectively, were considered satisfactory (Ducak and Keller, 2016;Boateng et al, 2018;Taber, 2018).…”

“…Nutrition Knowledge: Participants completed the Nutrition Attitude and Knowledge Questionnaire for Adults 50+ Years of Age (NAK-50+) [13], on a tablet (iPad, Apple, Cupertino, USA) using an online survey (SurveyMonkey, San Mateo, USA). The NAK-50+ is comprised of 27 items on general nutrition knowledge and attitudes (e.g., healthy weight, exercise, appetite, food groups, fluids as well as meal replacements and food enjoyment).…”

Retirement village accommodation is in demand and an opportune setting for healthy eating and physical activity. In this study 43 older men and women completed a nutrition knowledge questionnaire and physical measures; BMI, muscle mass, fat mass, grip strength, five times sit to stand, gait speed as well as physical activity and 7-day step count measured by accelerometers. Hierarchical clustering was used to rank participants according to their age and physical measures. Four distinct physical typologies emerged: 'strong sedentary', 'weak sedentary', 'overweight active' and 'lean active'. Strong sedentary and overweight active typologies were mostly men, stronger (p<0.05) with a higher BMI (p<0.001). The lean active group were mainly women, recorded the highest step counts (p<0.001), levels of activity (p<0.001) and were less sedentary (p<0.001). High levels of nutrition knowledge (>74%) were observed across all groups. Tailoring interventions to suit physical typologies may help modify eating and physical activity behaviors.
