Evaluation of short food-frequency questionnaires to assess the dietary pattern associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases

Abstract

The self-completion of CDQ2 compared to FFQ was associated with far less errors. There was a significant correlation between CDQ2 and FFQ. Preference should be given to CDQ2 in clinical practice and in studies where dietary pattern are evaluated without any interviewer.

Validation and reproducibility of a short food frequency questionnaire for cardiovascular prevention

“…In another version of CDQ-2 (not shown), we included two questions related to alcohol consumption that gave positive points only for regular and mild-to-moderate consumption, excluding important or binge drinking. The correlation between the global scores of this modified version of CDQ-2 and CDQ-1 (which did not include questions about alcohol) remains good [17].…”

“…Our team has developed such a cardiovascular diet questionnaire, adapted to the French population, which has been validated against a reference method (7-day dietary history) as well as biomarkers [16]. Our team and others have faced a few difficulties in its clinical use because of some open-ended questions and the need to make secondary calculations to generate scores [17]. This was a limiting factor for its widespread use.…”

Vitamin D Concentration Changes after Bariatric Surgery

“…The assessment of food frequency was performed using the Food Consumption Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) [ 13 ]. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to assess physical activity [ 14 ].…”

Impact of dietary intervention on eating behavior after ischemic stroke

“…The higher the score, the more favorable the dietary behavior, and on the contrary, the lower the score, the less favorable the dietary behavior ( 25 , 36 ). This 19-item questionnaire derived from a 14-item questionnaire was chosen since the 19-item was easier to fill (fewer missing data) and had good reliability as compared with the 14-item questionnaire ( 31 , 37 ).…”
