Abstract

To investigate the characteristics of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in measuring dietary intake in an adult insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) population. FFQs have been widely used in developed countries to assess usual dietary intake; however, information regarding the application of the method to individuals advised to follow a specific dietary regimen (such as people with IDDM) is scarce. The measurement of energy and macronutrients by an interviewer-administered FFQ was assessed in 84 adults, who were representative of adults with IDDM in Tasmania, Australia, by comparing it with 2 days of weighed dietary records. Mean daily energy and macronutrient intakes by each method were compared, and Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated for both unadjusted and energy-adjusted macronutrient intakes. The ratio of within-person to between-person variance in dietary estimates from weighed records was 0.53 for energy, 0.70 for fat, 2.55 for protein, 0.50 for carbohydrate, 0.78 for saturated fat, and 3.56 for dietary cholesterol. The correlation coefficient between the FFQ and a 2-day weighed dietary record for the same nutrients ranged from 0.38 for protein intake to 0.60 for saturated fat intake. The correlati...Continue Reading
