Abstract:
Severe obesity is associated with major health issues and bariatric surgery is still the only treatment to offer significant and durable weight loss. Assessment of dietary intakes is an important component of the bariatric surgery process. Objective: To document the dietary assessment tools that have been used with patients targeted for bariatric surgery and patients who had bariatric surgery and explore the extent to which these tools have been validated. Methods: A literature search was conducted to identify studies that used a dietary assessment tool with patients targeted for bariatric surgery or who had bariatric surgery. Results: 108 studies were included. Among all studies included, 27 used a dietary assessment tool that had been validated either as part of the study per se (n = 11) or in a previous study (n = 16). Every tool validated per se in the cited studies was validated among a bariatric population, while none of the tools validated in previous studies were validated in this population. Conclusion: Few studies in bariatric populations used a dietary assessment tool that had been validated in this population. Additional studies are needed to develop valid and robust dietary assessment tools to improve the quality of nutritional studies among bariatric patients.

Abstract:
Background: New technology-based dietary assessment tools, including Web-based programs, mobile applications, and wearable devices, may improve accuracy and reduce costs of dietary data collection and processing. The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) Europe Dietary Intake and Exposure Task Force launched this project to evaluate new tools in order to recommend general quality standards for future applications. Methods: A comprehensive literature search identified technology-based dietary assessment tools, including those published in English from 01/2011 to 09/2017, and providing details on tool features, functions and uses. Each of the 43 tools identified (33 for research and 10 designed for consumer use) was rated on 25 attributes. Results: Most of the tools identified (79%) relied on self-reported dietary intakes. Most (91%) used text entry and 33% used digital images to help identify foods. Only 65% had integrated databases for estimating energy or nutrients. Fewer than 50% contained any features of customization and about half generated automatic reports. Most tools reported on usability or reported validity compared with another assessment method (77%). A set of Best Practice Guidelines was developed for reporting dietary assessment tools using new technology. Conclusions: Dietary assessment methods that utilize technology offer many advantages for research and are often preferable to consumers over more traditional methods. In order to meet general quality standards, new technology tools require detailed publications describing tool development, food identification and quantification, customization, outputs, food composition tables used, and usability/validity testing.

Abstract:
Preschool-aged children in the U.S. have suboptimal diets. Interventions to improve child nutrition focus on parents and their role in shaping social and physical home environments, which influence children’s eating behaviors. Dietary assessment tools selected to measure intervention objectives, and how results are interpreted in key findings, are essential when examining children’s diets. The objectives of this review were to (1) describe dietary assessment tools used in intervention studies in young children focused within the home environment; and (2) examine how the application of these dietary assessment tools addressed intervention objectives. PubMed and Web of Science were searched for English-language nutrition intervention studies that included children aged 2–5 years, had a home environment component, used a dietary assessment tool, and reported on diet-related outcomes. Seventeen studies were included. Intervention objectives focused on overall diet, specific food groups, eating occasions, and obesity prevention/treatment. Concordance of key findings with intervention objectives, type of tool used, and multiple tools within the same study varied with 8 studies aligning in objective and tool, 1 discordant in both, and 8 partially concordant or too broad to determine. This review highlights current challenges in measuring dietary intake in preschoolers and provides recommendations for alternative applications and strategies.

Abstract:
Dietary indices evaluate diet quality, usually based on current dietary guidelines. Indices can therefore contribute to our understanding of early-life obesity-risk dietary behaviours. Yet indices are commonly applied to dietary data collected by onerous methods (e.g., recalls or records). Short dietary assessment instruments are an attractive alternative to collect data from which to derive an index score. A systematic review of studies published before April 2013 was conducted to identify short (≤50 items) tools that measure whole-of-diet intake of young children (birth-five years) and are applicable to dietary indices, in particular screening obesogenic dietary behaviours. The search identified 3686 papers of which 16, reporting on 15 tools (n=7, infants and toddlers birth-24 months;n=8, preschoolers 2–5 years), met the inclusion criteria. Most tools were food frequency questionnaires (n=14), with one innovative dietary questionnaire identified. Seven were tested for validity or reliability, and one was tested for both. Six tools (n=2, infants and toddlers;n=4, preschoolers) are applicable for use with current dietary indices, five of which screen obesogenic dietary behaviours. Given the limited number of brief, valid and reliable dietary assessment tools for young children to which an index can be applied, future short tool development is warranted, particularly for screening obesogenic dietary behaviours.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background Dietary exposure assessments are a critical issue in evaluating human nutrition studies; however, nutrition-specific criteria are not consistently included in existing bias assessment tools. Objectives Our objective was to develop a set of risk of bias (RoB) tools that integrated nutrition-specific criteria into validated generic assessment tools to address RoB issues, including those specific to dietary exposure assessment. Methods The Nutrition QUality Evaluation Strengthening Tools (NUQUEST) development and validation process included 8 steps. The first steps identified 1) a development strategy; 2) generic assessment tools with demonstrated validity; and 3) nutrition-specific appraisal issues. This was followed by 4) generation of nutrition-specific items and 5) development of guidance to aid users of NUQUEST. The final steps used established ratings of selected studies and feedback from independent raters to 6) assess reliability and validity; 7) assess formatting and usability; and 8) finalize NUQUEST. Results NUQUEST is based on the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network checklists for randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies. Using a purposive sample of 45 studies representing the 3 study designs, interrater reliability was high (Cohen's κ: 0.73; 95% CI: 0.52, 0.93) across all tools and at least moderate for individual tools (range: 0.57–1.00). The use of a worksheet improved usability and consistency of overall interrater agreement across all study designs (40% without worksheet, 80%–100% with worksheet). When compared to published ratings, NUQUEST ratings for evaluated studies demonstrated high concurrent validity (93% perfect or near-perfect agreement). Where there was disagreement, the nutrition-specific component was a contributing factor in discerning exposure methodological issues. Conclusions NUQUEST integrates nutrition-specific criteria with generic criteria from assessment tools with demonstrated reliability and validity. NUQUEST represents a consistent and transparent approach for evaluating RoB issues related to dietary exposure assessment commonly encountered in human nutrition studies.

Abstract:
To determine the impact of educational programs on immigrant groups in the United States, nutrition educators must have assessment and evaluation tools that use the language and vocabulary of the target population. Filipino Americans exhibit health disparities with regard to several conditions and are an important target for nutrition education. Currently, there are no existing rigorously tested tools in the Tagalog language which also have a low user burden and are designed to measure diet for assessment and evaluation of nutrition education programs. As these programs are generally evaluated using time-intensive dietary assessment tools not tailored specifically to Filipinos, they may not effectively characterize the diet of this population. Given the high adoption rates of mobile phones by populations outside of the United States, mobile apps may represent a best choice for developing tools to assist individuals recently migrating to the United States or speaking English as an additional language. Several tools of this nature have been developed for immigrant groups and hold promise in terms of acceptability. Examples of dietary assessment tools using technology developed for Spanish speakers in the United States are provided. These methods may also be appropriate for addressing the needs of immigrant groups such as Filipinos.

Abstract:
Food intake and usual dietary intake are among the key determinants of health to be assessed in medical research and important confounding factors to be accounted for in clinical studies. Although various methods are available for gathering dietary data, those based on innovative technologies are particularly promising. With combined cost-effectiveness and ease of use, it is safe to assume that mobile technologies can now optimize tracking of eating occasions and dietary behaviors. Yet, choosing a dietary assessment tool that meets research objectives and data quality standards remains challenging. In this paper, we describe the purposes of collecting dietary data in medical research and outline the main considerations for using mobile dietary assessment tools based on participant and researcher expectations.

Abstract:
AbstractObjectiveVarious indicators and assessment tools exist to measure diets and nutrition. Most studies eventually rely on one approach. Relatively little is known about how closely results match when different tools are used in the same context. The present study compares and correlates different indicators for the same households and individuals to better understand which indicators can be used as proxies for others.DesignA survey of households and individuals was carried out in Kenya in 2015. Seven-day food consumption and 24 h dietary recalls were administered at household and individual level, respectively. Individual height and weight measures were taken. Different indicators of food access (energy consumption, household dietary diversity scores), dietary quality (individual dietary diversity scores, micronutrient intakes) and nutrition (anthropometric indicators) were calculated and correlated to evaluate associations.SettingRural farm households in western Kenya.ParticipantsData collected from 809 households and 1556 individuals living in these households (782 female adults, 479 male adults, 295 children aged 6–59 months).ResultsAll measures of food access and dietary quality were positively correlated at individual level. Household-level and individual-level dietary indicators were also positively correlated. Correlations between dietary indicators and anthropometric measures were small and mostly statistically insignificant.ConclusionsDietary indicators from 7d food consumption recalls at the household level can be used as proxies of individual dietary quality of children and male and female adults. Individual dietary diversity scores are good proxies of micronutrient intakes. However, neither household-level nor individual-level dietary indicators are good proxies of individual nutritional status in this setting.

Abstract:
Beluga teeth are evaluated as biomonitors of heavy metal accumulation in beluga soft tissues and contaminant exposure in people who consume beluga as part of a traditional diet. Selenium, which protects marine mammals from the toxic effects of mercury, was measured in beluga teeth for the first time using hydride-generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry. Tooth selenium concentrations are shown to be moderately strong predictors of liver and muscle selenium, validating the use of teeth as a selenium biomonitor. Dietary exposure to mercury from the consumption of beluga was compared between historic and modern Mackenzie Delta Inuit populations, based on measured mercury concentrations in archeological beluga teeth and modern beluga tissues. Despite higher mercury levels in modern beluga, estimated average mercury exposure from the consumption of beluga is higher for pre-industrial Inuit populations than for modern Inuit populations, due to the significantly decreased average consumption of beluga among the modern population.
Des dents de beluga sont évaluées pour prévoir l'accumulation des métaux lourds dans les tissus mous, et l'évaluation d'exposition diététique pour les personnes qui consomment le beluga en tant qu'élément d'un régime traditionnel. Le sélénium, qui protège les mammifères marins contre les effets toxiques du mercure, a été mesuré dans des dents de beluga pour la première fois. C'était trouvé que le sélénium dans les dents est un facteur prédictif modérément efficace de sélénium dans le foie et les muscles, validant l'utilisation des dents comme biomoniteurs de sélénium. L'exposition diététique au mercure venant de la consommation du beluga a été comparée entre les populations d'Inuit historiques et modernes, à l'aide des dents de beluga archéologiquement préservées et des tissus de beluga modernes. Malgré le plus haut nivelle de mercure dans les baleines modernes, l'évaluation de l'ingestion diététique du mercure venant de la consommation de baleine de beluga ont été plus hauts pour les populations historiques que pour les populations modernes, à cause d'une diminution de la consommation moyenne de beluga parmi la population moderne.

Abstract:
The decline of many altricial species in temperate areas on land managed for agriculture is thought to be linked to changes in summer food availability, impacting on chick survival. This study specifically investigates the impacts of livestock grazing on the breeding performance of an insectivorous species, the meadow pipit (Anthus pratensis), through the assessment of chick diet. Using conventional methods, adults are found to feed chicks a wide range of prey taxa. The significance of this diversity is shown by improved chick growth, emphasising an important link between diet and chick survival. Changes in the diets fed to chicks, as measured by conventional dietary methods, were observed in association with different intensities of grazing management. High stocking densities and also no livestock grazing resulted in a reduced biomass of invertebrates being fed to chicks. Conventional dietary analysis methods have a number of biases associated with them. Examining diet using three methods produced significantly different diet descriptions for meadow pipit chicks. The concept of using dietary markers was examined, which is increasingly becoming popular in ecological dietary studies. Lipids, namely hydrocarbons have been successfully established as faecal dietary markers in the examination of herbivore diet compositions. A range of hydrocarbons were extracted, identified and quantified from both invertebrate prey and bird faeces indicating the potential for this technique to assess bird diets, also highlighting areas of focus for future research. Hydrocarbon analysis was successfully used to show dietary changes occurring as result of grazing managements; therefore, this approach shows great potential as an ecological tool for assessing ecosystem changes as a result of human activities.

This research was the first to investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors of malnutrition among patients in acute care settings in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. The program also identified the most appropriate malnutrition screening tools for use in hospitalized adults in the current Vietnamese context. Nutrition and dietetic services in hospitals in Viet Nam are relatively new and poorly resourced. The findings from this project have already had an impact, helping to establish and inform current and future policies related to nutrition screening of hospitalised patients, as well as the organisation and management of foodservices in hospitals.

Because healthy food products do not have a specific tool used for consumer screening based on consumers’ diet or degree of healthy eating habits, this study aimed to determine a set of questions that could classify consumers who belong in a different status according to the Stages of Change model, including those who have a different diet quality based on their Healthy Eating Index (HEI) score. The surveys were conducted in the United States (US) and Thailand in order to determine applicability to varying countries. The Food Neophobia Scale (FNS), Food Involvement Scale (FIS), and Health and Taste Attitude Scale (HTAS) were included in the questionnaire together with a set of Stages of Change questions and a 7-day, self-administered food recall questionnaire. The HEI interpretation of US and Thai consumer scores illustrated that the majority of both belonged to the Need Improvement group. The Stages of Change model indicated most consumers thought they had healthy diets. According to FNS, FIS, and HTAS, US consumers are more involved in food activities and are more open to trying new foods or unfamiliar foods than Thais. Furthermore, consumers who belong in different groups, according to the Stages of Change model, responded differently to some HTAS subscales. However, statements from FNS, FIS, and HTAS were not capable of distinguishing consumers belonging in different groups according to HEI scores or belonging in different stages according to the Stages of Change Model. Considering all possible methods from those listed above for screening consumers, the Stages of Change model may be the best way to segment consumers interested in healthier eating. Using the Stages of Change required less time and the least effort from consumers because there were only three questions; and interpreting results does not require calculation or analysis.

Abstract:
The nutritional needs of people with a chronic mental illness have not been adequately defined. The present study attempted to evaluate the nutritional status and food skills of people with a chronic mental illness residing in congregate care and the community. Specific objectives included investigating whether standard anthropometric measurements could be used with people with a chronic mental illness, gathering nutrient intake and food skills data using appropriate assessment methods, estimating the prevalence of some nutrition related diseases, and conducting nutrition intervention programs to rectify nutrition and/or food skills deficits. Comparisons were also made between the anthropometric status and dietary intake of the study group and the general Australian population. The study consisted of an assessment phase and an intervention phase. The assessment phase evaluated the nutritional status and food skills of a random sample of people with a chronic mental illness in congregate care. A sample of community living people with a chronic mental illness were matched by diagnosis and gender to the congregate care group. The intervention phase consisted of three nutrition programs which involved a sub-sample of the congregate care population. Assessment of the nutritional status of people with a chronic mental illness was undertaken using standard anthropometric techniques. The weight and height of people with a chronic mental illness was not significantly different to the general Australian population. More than fifty percent of study participants were overweight or obese. Males with a chronic mental illness had lower levels of muscle mass than was expected. An exercise program incorporating principles of health promotion was developed in an attempt to improve the muscle mass of males and decrease the prevalence of overweight and obesity. This program was unable to be fully implemented due to barriers at the study site, including organisational communication problems, lack of consumer motivation, and the focus of mental health workers on mental health rather than physical health issues. Dietary intake measurements were made using a multifaceted approach to increase reliability of the data obtained. Diet histories were used to estimate the nutrient intake of each participant. Weighed food intakes and the menu were also used to obtained dietary intake data for participants in congregate care. The average energy intake of males in the study group was 11 OOOkJ and of females was 9300kJ. Males with a chronic mental illness in congregate care consumed significantly more beta-carotene, sodium and percentage energy from fat, and less alcohol than males with a chronic mental illness residing in the community. Females residing in congregate care consumed significantly more energy, carbohydrate, fat, beta-carotene and sodium than females with a chronic mental illness residing in the community. Zinc and calcium were the limiting nutrients for males and females, although the probability of requirements not being fulfilled was small. A menu intervention to decrease intake of energy, percentage energy from fat and saturated fat was implemented. Menu modification successfully demonstrated that an improved nutrient profile could be achieved, however simultaneous undesired changes in macronutrient and micronutrient profile also occurred. These unanticipated changes included a significant decrease in the consumption of dietary fibre, beta-carotene, riboflavin, niacin, iron and zinc. The food skills of people with a chronic mental illness living in congregate care were significantly poorer than people residing in the community. Clear food skills deficits were identified by the Functional Needs Assessment - Nutritional Management Program (Dombrowski, 1990). There were no significant differences for food skills when gender comparisons were made. Comparisons by diagnosis revealed people with organic brain disorder had the lowest food skills. A food skills program was conducted using an individualised approach. This program demonstrated that food skills of people with a chronic mental illness could be improved providing they were motivated to participate. The lack of food and nutrition policy for people with a mental illness was highlighted. It is recommended that such a policy be developed and implemented as a priority. A food and nutrition policy for this group could incorporate the Dietary Guidelines for Australians because direct evidence was obtained during this study to support their use in this group. The lack of previous nutrition resources provided for people with a mental illness have manifested in the nutrition problems identified in this study. Multipronged and strategic approaches are required to resolve many of the nutrition problems of people with a chronic mental illness. To implement these approaches, it is recommended that nutrition services for people with a mental illness in the future should be provided both by nutrition specialists working in mainstream health services, and by nutrition specialists with knowledge and skills specific to mental health.

Abstract:
Background Individualised dietary advice is essential for management of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). In the DK dietary advice is often delivered by health professionals with limited nutrition training. It is not clear which dietary changes are most beneficial for adults with T2DM. Tools are needed to assist in providing individualised dietary advice. The aim of this thesis was to develop a brief dietary assessment tool, for use in the DK, for people with T2DM. Methods A questionnaire was developed. Item development was infonned by analysis of food diaries from people with T2DM who took part in a dietary intervention and a systematic review of existing measures. Items were refined via a Delphi study and a final scale was produced. A pilot test-retest reliability study and a comparison with food diaries were conducted in people with, or at high risk of, T2DM. Results Participants in the intervention reported dietary changes that produced a modest reduction in energy intake. Men and women changed their diets differently, but both made changes that limited impact on household members. Observed associations between changes to macronutrients and metabolic outcomes were clinically insignificant. The Delphi panel favoured food frequency and meal patterning questions. The pilot suggested that the resulting questionnaire had excellent test-retest reliability and showed similar agreement with food diaries and brief questionnaires developed internationally. Conclusion Dietary advice should focus on changes that reduce energy intake. This study found this advice should focus on reducing snack foods, high-energy drinks and portion sizes. However, more research is needed into which changes have the most benefit and why people choose to make the changes that they do make. A brief dietary assessment tool has been developed which shows promising test-retest reliability and comparability with food diaries. Evaluation of the tool in clinical practice is warranted.

Abstract:
Obesity in children is a major public health concern in Malta with prevalence statistics placing 11-, 13- and 15- year old Maltese children at the top of the scale, when compared to other Westernised countries. Obtaining valid information on diets is therefore vital to improve aspects of dietary behaviour in this age group. The main aim of this project was to carry out a feasibility study to improve sugar and water intakes in Maltese school children using a validated dietary assessment tool, REALITYMALTA™. This is a novel internet-based tool originally developed at the Rowett Institute for Nutrition and Health (RINH) and further upgraded, by incorporating local food and drink, for use in Maltese school children aged 9-11 years. Comparative results obtained using the new tool and a one day 24-hr MPR showed non-significant differences between the two tools for sugars, NMES and water, suggesting that it can be used with reasonable confidence to measure these nutrients in Maltese school children. Focus groups carried out in the pre-intervention period guided towards the development of a combined educational and environmental feasibility study carried out for a 12-week period in three local state schools. Educational sessions for parents and children were held, an educational leaflet was distributed, and free bottled water was supplied to the participating classrooms in the intervention schools. Nutrient results comparing the pre-intervention and post-intervention periods using the REALITYMALTA™ tool showed a significant reduction in caloric intake and a decrease, although non-significant, in sugars and NMES consumption. There were no statistically significant changes for water consumption. These encouraging results could provide baseline information for a future full scale trial. Further development work of REALITYMALTA™ is required to ensure the active participation of all those involved and to successfully improve dietary behaviour and reduce obesity in Maltese school children.

Abstract:
This chapter is a primer on sleep epidemiology—the methods of assessment on how sleep is measured (e.g., self-report [such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale] vs. with use of objective tools such as actigraphy); validity of sleep measurements; the different dimensions of sleep health and disorders that are of interest (e.g., sleep duration, sleep quality, sleep fragmentation, insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, social jetlag, snoring, narcolepsy, etc.); general sleep biology and physiology; and why sleep matters (i.e., the epidemiologic consequences of poor sleep health, e.g., connection to other health behaviors and health outcomes such as drug use; sexual risk behaviors; depression; dietary behaviors such as sugar-sweetened beverage consumption; cardiometabolic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and hypertension; and cancer outcomes such as breast cancer).

Abstract:
This chapter defines osteoporosis and its clinical features. The factors influencing bone mass and bone loss are described as well as contributing factors to the development of osteoporosis including hormonal, dietary, hereditary, and activity undertaken as well as the secondary causes seen in drug or disease-related issues. Diagnosis and how dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans are used and interpreted are briefly outlined. A key point that is discussed is osteoporosis in premenopausal women and in men, including causes and management. Vertebral and hip fractures result in a significant burden to the individual and to society. Avoiding these fractures is an important factor for all health professionals to consider so this chapter offers some useful information about managing older people at greater risk of such fractures as well as lifestyle points and how to offer appropriate education and support to all those at risk. In the final sections, assessment tools are described, the role of the nurse in the care of patients with osteoporosis is outlined, and frequently asked questions are covered.

Abstract:
This chapter gives clinicians the tools to use therapeutic carbohydrate restriction as a dietary intervention for type 2 diabetes patients. The chapter is divided into three section, each addressing a different aspect of therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (TCR). Section 1 delves into the background of carbohydrate restriction, nutrition physiology, the three levels of therapeutic carbohydrate restriction physiological, and metabolic rationale for using TCR to treat the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Section two explains how to start TCR in a patient population. It goes over which patients are good candidates for TCR and which ones should be approached with caution when implementing this dietary change and explains the importance of baseline assessments. Section three spells out how to administer and manage TCR in a clinical setting. It covers behavior change support, patient education on TCR principles, medication adjustments during the early stages of the intervention, and anticipating and treating common side effects.
