Rapid assessment tools for ranking pregnant minority women into multi-nutrient exposure groups
Objective To develop a targeted FFQ (TFFQ) and evaluate its effectiveness for ranking minority women by their intake of multiple nutrients important to a healthy pregnancy. Design In Stage 1, food groups derived from 24 h recall dietary data were entered into a stepwise multiple regression model to identify ‘discriminating’ foods for the TFFQ; in Stage 2, the TFFQ and a 24 h recall were administered to pregnant women. The TFFQ data were used to c…
P2-373 A cluster randomised controlled clinical trial to assess the efficacy of multiple micronutrient supplementations (iron, vitamins A, C, folic acid and zinc) to improve the nutritional and health…
Background The immediate and long-term effects of nutritional deficiencies are increased incidence and severity of acute conditions, impaired rates of growth, and retarded cognitive development. An efficacy intervention trial using novel supplementations Sprinkles (Suppleforte) was performed. Methods Controlled cluster randomised trial. We compared the efficacy of Sprinkles (the Sprinkles arm received one-dose multiple micronutrients sachets) wit…
P1-95 Is current policy for anaemia prevention in bedouin toddlers in the Negev appropriate
Introduction Iron deficiency anaemia still affects a quarter of the world's population increasing risk of infectious disease morbidity, impaired growth and mental development. According to current policy children undergo screening for iron deficiency anaemia at age 9–12M. Methods Prospective Study The study population included Moslem Bedouin 2.5–3-Y-old children that followed from 6M in Well Baby Clinic. All parents of participants were interview…
P1-425 Risk factors for overweight and obesity in pre-school children
Introduction In 2008 the prevalence of obesity in the USA, England and Italy were 14.6%, 21.2% and 22.2%, respectively. Childhood obesity which may be more amenable to change, is a risk factor for obesity and chronic health conditions in adults. Methods Socioeconomically disadvantaged children aged 4–7 y and their parents in Beer-Sheva were the study population in an intervention trial. We excluded those who refused, children with any chronic dis…
Maternal Nutrition and Birth Outcomes
In this review, the authors summarize current knowledge on maternal nutritional requirements during pregnancy, with a focus on the nutrients that have been most commonly investigated in association with birth outcomes. Data sourcing and extraction included searches of the primary resources establishing maternal nutrient requirements during pregnancy (e.g., Dietary Reference Intakes), and searches of Medline for "maternal nutrition"/[specific nutr…
Assessing individual dietary intake from common-plate meals
Objective The purposes of the present study were to estimate individual intake from common-plate meals among Bedouin Arabs using a modified 24 h recall questionnaire, and to evaluate reported energy intake (EI) by comparison with estimated energy requirement (EER). Design Weighed records were used to develop a method of quantifying intake from common plates. Reported EI and nutrient intakes were obtained from administration of the modified 24 h r…
Selection of food items for inclusion in a newly developed food-frequency questionnaire
Objectives: To highlight the differences between the food list required in a food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to rank people by their intake and the food items that contribute to absolute intake, and to discuss possible applications. Methods: We conducted a nutritional survey among 1173 adults using an adapted 24-hour recall questionnaire. Statistical analysis: To develop an FFQ, we analysed the 24-hour recall survey data by performing a stepwi…
Adaptation of international nutrition databases and data-entry system tools to a specific population
Objective: To develop a nutritional dietary intake database based on available reliable international nutritional databases adapted to the local needs of a specific population. Design: The Negev Nutritional Study (NNS) is a survey of a random sample of the Negev population regarding their dietary intake using 24-hour dietary recalls. A nutritional database for the Israeli population was developed based on adaptation and modification of the US Dep…
