“…The observed Pearson's correlation coefficients for nutrients are very similar to those of FFQ validation studies conducted in older adults that also used multiple 24-hour dietary recalls as the reference method [19,20]. For example, their coefficients for energy, protein, fat, calcium, and fiber, respectively, ranged from 0.22 to 0.39, 0.30 to 0.41, 0.25 to 0.58, 0.38 to 0.54, and 0.29 to 0.50.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the relative validity of the HEalthy LIfe in an Urban Setting (HELIUS) food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in assessing the dietary intake of energy, nutrients, and food groups of Dutch older men and women. In 2014–2015, 88 participants of the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam aged 71.9 (SD 8.6) years completed the 238-item HELIUS FFQ and three 24-hour dietary recalls. The mean group-level bias in the intakes of energy, nutrients, and food groups between the two methods was assessed, as well as Pearson’s correlation coefficients and level of agreement using quintile distribution. For the intakes of energy and macronutrients, the group-level bias was ≤5%, Pearson’s correlation coefficients were moderate to good (ranging from 0.26 for total fat to 0.72 for alcohol), and agreement was moderate to high (classification in same or adjacent quintile ranging from 63% for energy, protein, and carbohydrate to 91% for alcohol). For most micronutrients and food groups, the relative validity was moderate (Pearson’s correlation coefficients between 0.3 and 0.5), with the lowest correlations for β-carotene (0.08), vitamin B1 (0.19), fish (0.14), and grains (0.24). In conclusion, for energy and macronutrients, most micronutrients, and most food groups, the relative validity of the HELIUS FFQ to assess dietary intake in Dutch older adults was acceptable to good.

“…In contrast, Carter et al observed a lower SUS score for myfood24-UK in older adults (median SUS score = 29, n = 4 ≥ 65 years old) compared to younger age groups [5]. Further, feasibility testing for ASA24 in two different samples of elderly individuals showed that participants mostly preferred the traditional telephone-administered 24HDR [29] and the SUS score of 57 (SD 12.4, ASA24-Canada-2014) indicated poor usability [30]. The authors presumed that low computer literacy and limited Internet access narrow the ability to conduct self-administered 24HDRs online in older adults [29][30][31].…”

The authors presumed that low computer literacy and limited Internet access narrow the ability to conduct self-administered 24HDRs online in older adults [29][30][31]. Our contrasting findings might be explained by the fact that only participants with Internet access were included in the evaluation study, and that the majority of participants had experience in using computers.…”

“…However, similar to our study population, the examined participants were cognitively healthy, highly educated, and variation across education level was limited. Other age dependent factors (e.g., lack of memory, vision problems) as well as sociodemographic factors might generally affect the ability to conduct self-administered 24HDRs online [29][30][31].…”

Adaptation and Evaluation of Myfood24-Germany: A Web-Based Self-Administered 24-h Dietary Recall for the German Adult Population

et al. 2020

Our aim was to develop and evaluate a German adaptation of myfood24, a fully automated, web-based 24-h dietary recall (24HDR). To complete a self-administered 24HDR with myfood24, users have to search and enter consumed foods within the underlying database by a free text search. The adaptation process thus mainly consisted of the development of an appropriate food database. myfood24-Germany was evaluated in 92 adults aged 17–78 years (study 1). Participants completed four non-consecutive 24HDRs and answered an evaluation questionnaire after the final recall. The System Usability Scale Score (SUS Score, 0–100) was calculated. Users’ search behavior was examined with screen recordings in 15 adults aged 20–60 years (study 2). Participants had to enter three sample meals presented as food packaging or pictures. The final database included 11,501 food items (7203 generic and 4298 branded items) with up to 131 nutrients. In study 1, the median completion time for a 24HDR was 15 min. The median SUS score of 78 indicated good usability. The majority of participants considered the overall user-friendliness as good (46%) or very good (21%), and 75% were willing to use myfood24-Germany regularly. Both studies showed that finding and choosing an appropriate item within the database was a major challenge. A German version of myfood24 was successfully developed. The user evaluation indicated a short completion time, good usability and acceptability of the tool, and confirmed its feasibility for repeated short-term application.

“…A feasibility study of the Automated Self-Administered 24-hour dietary recall (ASA-24) among US adults 56–80 years of age highlighted the challenge of access: 60% invited reported no access to Internet, and adults 72–80 years of age were less likely than younger adults to have access to Internet/computer [12]. The ASA-24 (Canadian version) was used in a validation study among older adult Canadians, but participation results were not presented separately for relatively older and younger adults (over/under 65 years of age) [13]. Otherwise, feasibility studies have predominantly focused on adults younger than 70 years of age [14,15,16,17].…”

Use of Online Dietary Recalls among Older UK Adults: A Feasibility Study of an Online Dietary Assessment Tool

et al. 2019

This study examined the feasibility of including myfood24, an online 24-hour dietary recall tool, in a cohort studies of older adults. Participants (n = 319) were recruited during follow-up visits for the CHARIOT-Pro Sub-study, a prospective study of cognitively healthy adults aged 60–85 years at baseline. Email invitations were sent over three consecutive months, with weekly reminders. Multivariable regression models were applied to examine the number of recalls completed in relation to technology readiness (TR) scores and demographic characteristics. Ninety-four percent of people agreed to participate. Among participants, 67% completed at least one recall, and 48% completed two or more. Participants who completed multiple recalls reported higher self-confidence with technology and received a higher TR score than those who did not complete any recalls. A one-point higher TR score was associated with higher odds of completing three recalls compared to zero recalls (OR 1.70, 95% CI 0.96–3.01); this association was further attenuated after adjustment for demographic and other TR-related covariates (OR 1.35, 95% CI 0.63–2.88). This study demonstrates reasonable participation rates for a single myfood24 recall among older adults participating in a cohort study but suggests that further support may be required to obtain multiple recalls in this population.
