These restrictions extended to family caregivers, a significant provider of in-person physical and social care, preventing them from entering long-term care homes. The purpose of the current study was to explore the experiences and observations of family caregivers during the prolonged vis…
Meal patterns across ten European countries – results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic) calibration study
Objective To characterize meal patterns across ten European countries participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) calibration study. Design Cross-sectional study utilizing dietary data collected through a standardized 24 h diet recall during 1995–2000. Eleven predefined intake occasions across a 24 h period were assessed during the interview. In the present descriptive report, meal patterns were analys…
The Qatar Biobank: Background and methods
The pilot has proven that recruitment of volunteers into the Qatar Biobank project with intensive baseline measurements of behavioural, physical, and clinical characteristics is well accepted and logistically feasible. Qatar Biobank will provide a powerful resource to investigate the major determinants of ill-health and well-being in Qatar, providing valuable insights into the current and future public health burden that faces the country
Feasibility of innovative dietary assessment in epidemiological studies using the approach of combining different assessment instruments
Objective To assess the feasibility of combining short-term and long-term dietary assessment instruments as new concept for improving usual dietary intake assessment on the individual level. Design Feasibility study of completing three 24 h dietary recalls (24-HDR) and a self-administered food propensity questionnaire (FPQ). The 24-HDR was conducted by monthly telephone interviews, using EPIC-SOFT software. The FPQ was completely standardized acr…
CHD risk in relation to alcohol intake from categorical and open-ended dietary instruments
Objective To examine the risk of CHD in relation to alcohol intake from three different instruments. Design In the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer in Norfolk study, weekly alcohol intake was estimated from a single question in a mail-in health and lifestyle questionnaire (HLQ), a semi-quantitative FFQ, and a 7 d diet diary (7DD). Information on smoking status, physical activity, disease history, social class and medication use was …

Adiposity, education and weight loss effort are independently associated with energy reporting quality in the Ontario Food Survey
Objectives To examine the associations of adiposity, dietary restraint and other personal characteristics with energy reporting quality. Design/subjects Secondary analysis of 230 women and 158 men from the 1997/98 Ontario Food Survey. Methods Energy reporting quality was estimated by ratios of energy intake (EI) to both basal metabolic rate (BMR) and total energy expenditure (TEE). Multivariate regression analyses were conducted to examine energy…
