“…As focus appropriately shifts from nutrient-centric to food-based research and advocacy, dietary assessment tools must be validated to measure intake from food categories of interest. Among the existing literature, many of the validation studies that include food groups in analysis refer to development of FFQ (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) or diet quality indices (25)(26)(27)(28)(29) . It is difficult to compare our results as there are no previous validation studies of food records in a mobile phone application format for food groups.…”

Automation of dietary assessment can reduce limitations of established methodologies, by alleviating participant and researcher burden. Designed as a research tool, the electronic Dietary Intake Assessment (e-DIA) is a food record in mobile phone application format. The present study aimed to examine the relative validity of the e-DIA with the 24-h recall method to estimate intake of food groups. A sample of eighty university students aged 19-24 years recorded 5 d of e-DIA and 3 d of recall within this 5-d period. The three matching days of dietary data were used for analysis. Food intake data were disaggregated and apportioned to one of eight food groups. Median intakes of food groups were similar between the methods, and strong correlations were found (mean: 0·79, range: 0·69-0·88). Cross-classification by tertiles produced a high level of exact agreement (mean: 71 %, range: 65-75 %), and weighted κ values were moderate to good (range: 0·54-0·71). Although mean differences (e-DIA-recall) were small (range: -13 to 23 g), limits of agreement (LOA) were relatively large (e.g. for vegetables, mean difference: -4 g, LOA: -159 to 151 g). The Bland-Altman plots showed robust agreement, with minimum bias. This analysis supports the use of e-DIA as an alternative to the repeated 24-h recall method for ranking individuals' food group intake.

“…Food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) are relatively inexpensive, put less burden on the respondents, and do not require trained interviewers [15,16]. Therefore, they represent the most commonly used tools in epidemiological studies [17]. However, due to lower accuracy, the information collected by FFQs needs to be compared with information collected by a more accurate dietary assessment method.…”

Background: Scientifically valid descriptions of dietary intake at population level are crucial for investigating diet effects on health and disease. Food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) are the most common dietary tools used in large epidemiological studies. Objective: To examine the relative validity of a newly developed FFQ to be used as dietary assessment tool in epidemiological studies. Design: Validity was evaluated by comparing the FFQ and a 4-day weighed food record (4-d FR) at nutrient and food group levels, Spearman’s correlations, Bland–Altman analysis and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used. Fifty-six participants completed a paper format FFQ and a 4-d FR within 4 weeks. Results: Corrected correlations between the two instruments ranged from 0.27 (carbohydrates) to 0.55 (protein), and at food group level from 0.09 (soup) to 0.92 (alcohol). Nine out of 25 food groups showed correlations > 0.5, indicating moderate validity. More than half the food groups were overestimated in the FFQ, especially vegetables (82.8%) and fruits (56.3%). Water, tea and coffee were underestimated (–14.0%). Conclusions: The FFQ showed moderate relative validity for protein and the food groups fruits, egg, meat, sausage, nuts, salty snacks and beverages. This study supports the use of the FFQ as an acceptable tool for assessing nutrition as a health determinant in large epidemiological studies.

“…As Sabaté points out, there are different methods used for the evaluation of food consumption, the 24-hour Reminder being a useful tool for this purpose, the dietary journal allows to detail the quantities of food and beverages consumed [28][29][30]. The dietary history allows us to evaluate the average food and liquid intake as well as the frequency of consumption questionnaire , the latter being the most widely used, being validated in several languages such as Spanish , Chinese , Guam , for multiethnic populations , in Korean , Danish , Japanese , New Zealand , Brazil , Norway , Australia , among others [31,32,25,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42].…”
