“…Information on food intake from two working days and one non-working day was obtained. The aim of the three-day dietary recall is to provide individual variation in food and dietary intakes [ 38 ]. In the dietary recall, the respondents were asked about the foods they eat and how the foods were prepared, for example whether it includes frying, boiling, roasting, steaming, or other methods.…”

The Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) is one of the most frequently used instruments in epidemiological studies for evaluating dietary intake. Because of the variety of dietary habits within different populations, an FFQ must be tailored to the specific group. To date, no specific FFQ has been developed for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in Malaysia. In this study, we developed a semi-quantitative FFQ to estimate macronutrient intake among T2DM patients. The development of the FFQ was based on the data acquired from 150 respondents with T2DM from the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia who completed the three-day 24-h dietary recalls. The respondents were selected by convenience sampling. The mean intake from each food item and the proportions of macronutrients were calculated. The approach from a previous study was used to compile a list of foods items with a cumulative 90% macronutrient contribution that is significant for the nutrient of interest. In conclusion, we have successfully developed a new semi-quantitative FFQ with a total of 79 food items and nine food groups. The frequencies of the FFQ were divided into nine categories and this FFQ represents the usual food intake of T2DM patients in Malaysia. However, this tool has yet to be validated in patients with T2DM in Malaysia.

“…With the rise in the consumption of plant‐based diets, Waterplus et al use a plant‐based diet index that discerns between healthy and unhealthy sources to monitor changes over a 10‐year period and the impact on blood lipids . Finally, Godois et al look at a particularly time‐poor population—athletes—and describe the use of multi‐pass 24‐hour food recalls to develop a list of foods for an FFQ to explain nutrient variability in Brazilian athletes …”

Background: In recent years, an increasing amount of evidence from nutritional epidemiological studies has revealed an association between flavonoid intake and noncommunicable diseases. The food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) is the most cost-effective method of assessing the dietaryflavonoidintake of both groups and individuals. However, only a few studies in China have developed tailored FFQs to describe dietary flavonoid intake. Therefore, this study aims to develop a flavonoid-focused FFQ for Chinese adults and to assess its relative validity and reproducibility. Method: We assessed the intake of representativefoods of the Chinese diet using the flavonoid-focused FFQ, which includes 12 food categories and 147 items. We invited 100 healthy adults to complete the flavonoid-focused FFQ twice (at a one-month interval) to assess the reproducibility of the tool. To assess the validity of the questionnaire, we asked 85 adults to complete the flavonoid-focused FFQ once and to complete three 24-hour dietary recall (24HDR) questionnaires for one week. Results: The reproducibility assessment showed that except for pelargonidin, there were no significant differences in flavonoid intakes between the two FFQ administrations. The Spearman correlation coefficients for nutrients, flavonoid subclasses, and their primary compounds ranged from 0.501 to 0.910, indicating excellent/moderate correlations. The energy-adjusted correlations were within the recommended range for all items. The ICCs ranged from 0.780 to 0.953, and the mean kappa coefficient (Kw) was 0.539. Validity assessment showed that 8 of 19 primary flavonoid compounds had higher intake levels on the FFQ than on the 24HDR. Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed that almost all flavonoid subclasses and primary flavonoid compounds had excellent/moderate correlation coefficients, with the exception of delphinidin, malvidin, pelargonidin, and apigenin. The energy-adjusted intakes showed slightly stronger agreement between the two tools, but this difference did not change the conclusions. The level of agreement (the same tertile) between the flavonoid-focused FFQ and the 24HDR ranged from 41.18% (pelargonidin and apigenin) to 77.65% (total flavonoids). Kw displayed substantial/moderate concordance of nutrients and flavonoid subclass intake and a fair to moderate concordance in almost all primary flavonoid compounds. Only malvidin, pelargonidin, and apigenin had weak concordance. Conclusion: The flavonoid-focused FFQ developed herein exhibited satisfactory reliability and validity for assessing the intake of most flavonoid subclasses and their primary compounds among Chinese adults. It can be used as a tool to investigate the relationship of flavonoid intake with health- and disease-related outcomes.

Development of a Food Frequency Questionnaire for Brazilian athletes

Abstract: Using a multiple regression analysis we developed a 59-food item questionnaire, which includes culturally specific food items and may represent an important dietary tool to analyse athletic populations. Reproducibility and validity of this FFQ will be verified in future research.
