“…We aim to investigate the relative validity of our newly developed short FFQ in relation to 24-hour dietary recall from 50 clinical patients focusing on commonly consumed food in Nigeria. This approach to validate the FFQ has been extensively utilised in the literature by previous studies(27,29,(43)(44)(45).Feedback from clinical patients and healthcare professionals regarding the FFQ's feasibility is expected to drive its refinement within a user-friendly clinical context. This could potentially bridge the gap between nutritional guidelines and clinical care, equipping healthcare professionals to systematically assess the dietary intake of patients for diagnostic and preventive purposes and enable clinicians to provide region-specific dietary recommendations, fostering improved disease prevention and management, including hypertension(46).…”

IntroductionContrary to North America and Europe, the prevalence of hypertension is rising in West Africa. With a transition from whole foods to processed foods in Nigeria, diet plays a key driver of hypertension. To combat this, the national nutritional guidelines in Nigeria were implemented, but their translation into actionable tools for clinicians remains a challenge. Currently, there are no simple dietary assessment tools that are concise and suitable to be incorporated into clinical care without requiring extensive data analysis while still providing personalised dietary support to their patients. This study aims to deliver a clinically tested and validated short dietary assessment tool for clinicians, patients, and researchers across Nigeria to provide personalised dietary advice for patients with hypertension.MethodsThe study will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1 (n=75) will investigate the feasibility of the short FFQ and its agreement with 24-hour dietary recalls (3x) in a clinical setting in Nigeria. During the analysis of Phase 1 data, a scoring system will be developed based on the associations between individual food items in the FFQ and measures of hypertension. Phase 2 (n=50) will assess the acceptability of the FFQ and validate the association between the FFQ score and hypertension.Expected outcomesThe development of a clinically tested and validated short food frequency questionnaire that will be ready to use by clinicians, patients, and researchers across Nigeria to support the prevention and management of hypertension.ConclusionThis study will contribute to knowledge on dietary assessment and hypertension prevention by developing a validated and acceptable FFQ, which will be valuable for clinicians and researchers for personalised dietary recommendations to combat hypertension in Nigeria.Keywords:West Africa, diet, food, LMIC, blood pressure.

“…Studies to assess the reliability of food frequency questionnaires in a free-living environment will be explored in comparison with instruments that provide objective measures to improve the accuracy of subjective measures that are common in nutritional epidemiology [22]. The SAYCARE FFQ was validated for fruit and vegetable intake [24], as well as for iron intake [45], with very good coefficients (range of 0.35 to 0.85). Consequently, the FFQ should not be used as a quantitative tool to measure the anti-/pro-inflammatory status of pediatric populations.…”

Chronic low-grade inflammation may be associated with the development of chronic non-communicable diseases in young populations, often lasting to adulthood. Studies show that the diet is related to chronic inflammation. The Pro-inflammatory/Anti-inflammatory Food Intake Score (PAIFIS) is an indicator that measures the inflammatory potential of the diet, with the help of validated tools that assess food consumption. The validation of tools that assess inflammatory dietary patterns in young populations to produce valid and reliable results is essential to guide disease prevention strategies for adulthood. Methods: This study aimed to estimate the Pro-inflammatory/Anti-inflammatory Food Intake Score (PAIFIS) in children and adolescents in South America and to test its reliability and validity using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and an inflammatory biomarker. This work consists of a validation study in a sample of children and adolescents conducted in South America (SAYCARE Study). The habitual consumption of food contributing to calculating the PAIFIS was obtained through an FFQ and 24 h Dietary Recall (24HDR). Reliability was tested using the FFQ (FFQ1 × FFQ2), using Spearman’s correlation coefficient to estimate the agreement between measurements. The validity of the PAIFIS was tested using 24HDR and the inflammatory biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP) using Spearman’s correlation and multilevel linear regression. Results: For children and adolescents, pro- and anti-inflammatory food groups showed Spearman’s correlation coefficients ranging from 0.31 to 0.66, convergent validity ranging from 0.09 to 0.40, and criterion validity for a reliability range from −0.03 to 0.18. The PAIFIS showed Spearman’s correlation coefficients for reliability ranging from 0.61 to 0.69, convergent validity from 0.16 to 0.23, and criterion validity from −0.03 to 0.24. Conclusion: The PAIFIS showed acceptable reliability, weak convergent validity, and weak criterion validity in children and adolescents.
