Methods Based on the survey experience in recent years, a new Chinese food frequency questionnaire （FFQ） with 149 items in 17 food categories was developed. A validation study on this new FFQ was conducted in Jiangsu and Beijing of China between 1999 and 2001. The period of study covered 1 year and the FFQ was validated by comparing with data obtained by a six repeated 24-hour recalls for 3 consecutive days, or a totally 18-day 24- hour recall throughout the year. A total of 271 healthy adult subjects were enrolled in the study. Food and nutrient intakes measured by the 18-day dietary recalls and food frequency questionnaires （FFQs） were computed in the National Institute for Nutrition and Food Safety, China CDC using the existing nutrition database. The average daily intake of foods and nutrients over the 18-day recall was used to compare with FFQ1 and FFQ2, which was conducted at the beginning and the end of the year, respectively. All statistical analyses were carried out using SAS software version 6.12.展开更多

This study examined the relationship between plasma homocysteine concentrations and dietary habits in a population of elderly Japanese people from the Amami Islands. Data from 1131 participants collected during a baseline survey for the Japan Multi-institutional Collaborative Cohort study, which is a prospective cohort study, were used. Information on dietary habits was collected using a food frequency questionnaire. The plasma homocysteine concentration was associated with age in women only. Smoking in men and menopause were significantly associated with homocysteine concentrations. Analysis of blood biochemical data showed that estimate of glomerular filtration rate negatively correlated with plasma homocysteine in women (R = ?0.91, p < 0.001) and men (R = ?0.49, p < 0.001). There was no common food associated with homocysteine concentrations among the groups, but in each group, some food types were associated with homocysteine concentrations. In men, Chinese tea was a common factor showing a negative correlation with homocysteine concentrations. Natto showed a negative correlation with homocysteine concentrations in non-smoking men (β = ?0.11, p < 0.05) and premenopausal women (β = ?0.20, p < 0.01). Eggs (β = ?0.21, p < 0.01) and food processed from fish eggs (β = ?0.21, p < 0.01) negatively correlated with homocysteine concentrations in smoking men. Miso soup (β = ?0.13, p < 0.01) and yoghurt (β = ?0.10, p < 0.05) negatively correlated with homocysteine concentrations in postmenopausal women. Consumption of folate-rich food did not necessarily correlate with a low plasma Hcy concentration.展开更多

文摘目的:对自行编制的食物频率问卷进行效度检验,探究其是否可用于孕期妇女的膳食调查及规模人群营养流行病学调查。方法:以在孕早期(10~13w+6 d)完成食物频率(FFQ)调查,并收集到3天24小时膳食回顾(3days 24HR)数据的111名孕妇作为调查对象。采用Wilcoxon配对秩和检验比较两种方法摄入量之间的差异;采用Spearman相关系数评估两种方法的一致性程度;采用Bland-Altman图用于比较两种方法所得平均总能量和宏量营养素摄入量的差异。结果:使用FFQ调查与3 days 24HR调查对热量、主食及蔬菜的摄入量估计无统计学差异。热量、三大宏量营养素的Spearman相关系数范围为0.249(脂肪)~0.529(蛋白质)。除主食、薯类、菌藻类及水果外,其他食物组的相关性均有统计学意义,Spearman相关系数范围为0.180(粗粮)~0.578(奶制品)。BlandAltman图显示,热量、蛋白质及脂肪的比值均在1附近。结论:本研究设计的较为短小的食物频率问卷的效度较好,可以用于孕期孕妇的膳食调查,也可用于开展大规模人群营养流行病学调查。
