Frequency of soy food consumption and serum isoflavone concentrations among Chinese women in Shanghai
Objective: The food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) can be an efficient tool to evaluate dietary intake in large, population-based studies, especially for specific foods. The objective of this study was to validate the assessment of soy and isoflavone (daidzein and genistein) intakes, measured by an FFQ, by comparing intakes with serum isoflavone concentrations. Design and setting: Soy and isoflavone intakes and serum isoflavone concentrations were…
Selected nutritional biomarkers predict diet quality
Objective: To examine associations of biomarkers of nutrient intake with overall diet quality. Subjects: A convenience sample of 102 healthy postmenopausal women in Seattle, Washington (USA). Design and method: Participants attended a study centre where they provided fasting blood specimens and completed a 122-item validated food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Data from the FFQ were used to calculate Diet Quality Index (DQI) scores and categorise…
Dietary acculturation
Research strategies and the use of nutrient biomarkers in studies of diet and chronic disease
Objective: To provide an account of the state of diet and chronic disease research designs and methods; to discuss the role and potential of aggregate and analytical observational studies and randomised controlled intervention trials; and to propose strategies for strengthening each type of study, with particular emphasis on the use of nutrient biomarkers in cohort study settings. Design: Observations from diet and disease studies conducted over …
Psychosocial Predictors of Diet and Acculturation in Chinese American and Chinese Canadian Women
Chinese cultural beliefs play an important role in the dietary practices of Chinese living in North America. Therefore, traditional health beliefs, as well as socioeconomic and environmental factors related to diet should be incorporated into the design and implementation of culturally appropriate health promotion programs for Chinese immigrants
A brief dietary assessment instrument for assessing target foods, nutrients and eating patterns
Objective: To develop and validate a new dietary assessment tool, the focused recall, and to use this to measure co-consumption of carotenoid-containing fruits and vegetables with savory snacks. Design: Participants completed a telephone-administered focused recall and a 24-hour recall on the same day. We compared mean estimates of fruit, vegetable, savory snack and carotenoid consumption from both instruments. We also assessed the ability of eac…
A household food inventory for North American Chinese
Objective To determine whether a short set of questions about foods in the household can provide information about the fat-related dietary behaviour of individual household members in less-acculturated Chinese populations. Design Cross-sectional survey. Participants The study population included 244 adult females of Chinese ethnicity in Seattle, WA, and Vancouver, BC, Canada. Setting Bilingual interviewers collected information on the presence of…
Evaluation of a simplified vitamin supplement inventory developed for the Women's Health Initiative
Objective To evaluate the accuracy of a simplified inventory procedure for assessing nutrient intake from vitamin and mineral supplements. Design Participants brought their supplements to a clinic. An interviewer conducted the supplement inventory procedure, which consisted of recording data on the type of multiple vitamin and single supplements used. For the multiple vitamins, the interviewer recorded the exact dose for a subset of nutrients (vi…
Differences in fat-related dietary patterns between black, Hispanic and white women
Objective This report examines how sources of fat and patterns of fat-related dietary habits differed between black, Hispanic and white women participating in a randomized trial of a low-fat diet intervention. Design The intervention consisted of group sessions, which met weekly for 6 weeks, biweekly for 6 weeks and monthly for 9 months, and included didactic nutrition education and activities to provide motivation for sustained dietary change. O…
Trends in food label use associated with new nutrition labeling regulations
OBJECTIVES: This study compared use of food labels before and after implementation of new Food and Drug Administration regulations in 1994. METHODS: Data were obtained by random-digit-dial surveys of Washington State residents in 1993 (n = 1001) and 1996 (n = 1450). RESULTS: After implementation of the new regulations, usual label use increased significantly, by 8.5 percentage points in women and 11.3 percentage points in men. More respondents lo…
Using a brief household food inventory as an environmental indicator of individual dietary practices
OBJECTIVES: This study examined whether foods in household pantries are an indicator of house-hold members' diet. METHODS: In a random-digit-dial survey, the presence in the house of 15 high-fat foods was assessed with whoever answered the phone. A randomly selected household member was surveyed about diet-related behaviors (n = 1002). RESULTS: Individuals in the precontemplation stage of dietary change had more high-fat foods in their pantry tha…
Do beliefs, knowledge, and perceived norms about diet and cancer predict dietary change
OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that belief in an association between diet and cancer, knowledge of dietary recommendations and food composition, and perceived norms would predict healthful dietary changes. METHODS: Data are from a population-based sample of Washington State residents (n = 607). Psychosocial constructs measured at baseline (1989/90) were used to predict changes in dietary practices, fat intake, fiber intake, and weight over 3 years. …
