“…Average TEE was 12·7 MJ/d and TEE error, estimated by the resampling procedure, averaged 2·4 % (SD (0·30) MJ/d). The ratio of tracer elimination rates was normal (k O :k H = 1·315 , SD (0·076)) and the average 2 H: 18 O distribution volume or pool space ratio was 1·038 (SD 0·010).…”

“…The abundance of 2 H in the urine sample and gravimetric dilutions of the tracer solution were calculated with reference to the known abundance of the reference waters. Samples were prepared for 18 O analysis according to the method of Prosser et al (23) . Following 2 H analysis, the same sample and standard water tubes were flushed in turn with CO 2 equilibration gas for 1 min (3 % CO 2 in N, Specialty Gases; Air Products).…”

Schoeller's equation for estimating total energy expenditure (TEE) was used in the form given by Goran et al (24) .…”

A pilot study to determine whether using a lightweight, wearable micro-camera improves dietary assessment accuracy and offers information on macronutrients and eating rate

A major limitation in nutritional science is the lack of understanding of the nutritional intake of free-living people. There is an inverse relationship between accuracy of reporting of energy intake by all current nutritional methodologies and body weight. In this pilot study we aim to explore whether using a novel lightweight, wearable micro-camera improves the accuracy of dietary intake assessment. Doubly labelled water (DLW) was used to estimate energy expenditure and intake over a 14-d period, over which time participants (n 6) completed a food diary and wore a micro-camera on 2 of the days. Comparisons were made between the estimated energy intake from the reported food diary alone and together with the images from the micro-camera recordings. There was an average daily deficit of 3912 kJ using food diaries to estimate energy intake compared with estimated energy expenditure from DLW (P = 0·0118), representing an under-reporting rate of 34 %. Analysis of food diaries alone showed a significant deficit in estimated daily energy intake compared with estimated intake from food diary analysis with images from the micro-camera recordings (405 kJ). Use of the micro-camera images in conjunction with food diaries improves the accuracy of dietary assessment and provides valuable information on macronutrient intake and eating rate. There is a need to develop this recording technique to remove user and assessor bias.Key words: Dietary recording: Doubly labelled water: Micro-camera devices: Energy intake A common weakness of nutritional research is not being able to accurately assess the dietary intake of people in their home environments. To understand the impact of nutritional health in the population there is a need to understand and measure energy expenditure and intake accurately. Common techniques mainly include self-reported questionnaires and dietary records, which are subjective and known to have varying degrees of accuracy, and for this reason some have argued that all memory-based techniques should not be used in nutrition research and that objective measures should be developed in their place (1,2) . Estimates from a sample of adults aged 19-65 years participating in the 2000 UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey suggest that under-reporting occurs in up to 88 % of the sample depending on the method used to calculate underreporting and the various sub-samples examined (3) .Studies using the gold standard method of doubly labelled water (DLW) to measure energy expenditure (and, on the principle of energy balance, energy intake) have demonstrated under-reporting rates of between 2 and 59 % depending on the method of dietary assessment and population sample being studied (4)(5)(6)(7) .Propensity towards under-reporting using food records is far higher in obese compared with lean individuals (8)(9)(10)(11) (19 and 2 %, respectively (8) ). Furthermore, evidence of weight loss during study periods indicates under-eating. This under-eating, along with the under-reporting observed in multiple studies, f...

“…The predictive validity also is high for measuring information processing generated from cognition (Rosbergen, Pieters, & Wedel, 1997), as is the case in the present study. The application of eye-tracking techniques also answers Thompson, Subar, Loria, Reedy, and Baranowski's (2010) call for a broader use of technology in dietary research.…”

Does Service Employees’ Appearance Affect the Healthiness of Food Choice?

Derived from previous research on social influence on food consumption and social comparison theory, this article examines the effect of service employees' appearance on consumers' food choice using an experimental study, involving a video manipulation and eye-tracking technique. The video shows a menu being proffered by a waitress whose degree of apparent healthiness varies (healthy, overweight, unhealthy lifestyle). The menu contains both healthy and unhealthy meal alternatives. The analysis of participants' eye movements demonstrated that exposure to the overweight employee did not stimulate greater (i.e., earlier or longer) attention to unhealthy meal alternatives, whereas exposure to the employee who displayed an unhealthy lifestyle did. These findings have social and managerial implications: The postulated stigma according to which the presence of overweight others encourages unhealthy eating appears questionable. Service providers that might secretly hire according to body weight have no grounds to do so. In contrast, employees signaling an unhealthy lifestyle through their style choices prompt patrons to pay more attention to unhealthy meal alternatives. Food service providers might want to take this factor into consideration and actively manage the aspects that can be altered by simple measures.

“…With web-based technologies, this method has evolved into the ''automated multi-pass method'' used and validated as part of the longitudinal US-based National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) study. Web-based tools are evolving to engage with study participants more directly such as the American user-friendly web-based interface of the ASA24 [97]. Given technological advances and the rapid expansion of electronic and mobile health in both high and low-resource settings, similar tools may have practical and feasible application globally.…”

Measuring Food and Nutrition Security: Tools and Considerations for Use Among People Living with HIV

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

As an increasing number of countries implement integrated food and nutrition security (FNS) and HIV programs, global stakeholders need clarity on how to best measure FNS at the individual and household level. This paper reviews prominent FNS measurement tools, and describes considerations for interpretation in the context of HIV. There exist a range of FNS measurement tools and many have been adapted for use in HIV-endemic settings. Considerations in selecting appropriate tools include subtypes (food sufficiency, dietary diversity and food safety); scope/level of application; and available resources. Tools need to reflect both the needs of PLHIV and affected households and FNS program objectives. Generalized food sufficiency and dietary diversity tools may provide adequate measures of FNS in PLHIV for programmatic applications. Food consumption measurement tools provide further data for clinical or research applications. Measurement of food safety is an important, but underdeveloped aspect of assessment, especially for PLHIV.
