Dietary intake assessment in women with different weight and pregnancy status using a short questionnaire
Objective First, to evaluate the ability of a short dietary questionnaire (SDQ) to estimate energy intake (EI) on group and individual levels compared with total energy expenditure (TEE) measured by the doubly labelled water method. Second, to compare the SDQ's performance in estimating energy, nutrient and food intakes with a sixty-six-item FFQ used in large-scale Swedish epidemiological research. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Umeå, Sweden. Su…
