Zinc deficiency has been reported in individuals with eating disorders, the risks of which increase during the adolescent and early adult years. A food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) specific for zinc-rich foods was tested for its usefulness in identifying problematic eating behaviour tendencies in college-age women. Ninety-two female students enrolled in a university introductory psychology course volunteered to complete demographic information, the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), and a zinc-specific FFQ (ZnFFQ). Relationships among estimated zinc intakes, food/lifestyle habits, and eating attitude variables were examined. Twenty-five women had estimated intakes below the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for zinc. Individuals in the highest zinc intake group (over twice the RDA) had a tendency to score higher on the EAT-26 and the bulimia subscale. Vegetarians also scored high on the EAT-26. Although our data are limited, the ZnFFQ should be studied further to determine whether it could play a useful role in identifying individuals at risk for bulimia. The ZnFFQ is a simple, non-confrontational assessment tool and may be a helpful starting point for identifying women with unhealthy eating habits.

Relative validity and reproducibility of a semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for measuring preschool children's usual Ca intake were assessed using parents or guardians as a proxy. Estimated diet records (EDR; 3d) were used as the reference method and reproducibility was measured by repeated FFQ administrations 5 weeks apart. From 2095 preschool children (2·5–6·5 years) randomly selected in Flanders (Flemish region of Belgium), 1052 returned a FFQ and EDR. Stringent exclusion procedures reduced the sample for validity analyses to 509 children. From a separate sample of 244 preschool children, 124 returned two FFQ, of whom sixty were included in the reproducibility analysis. Mean Ca intakes were 838 (sd 305) and 777 (sd 296) mg/d for EDR and FFQ respectively, indicating a mean difference of 60·9 (sd 294·4) mg/d (p<0·001). Pearson's correlation was 0·52. Cross-classification analysis of the FFQ and EDR classified 83%of the subjects in the same or adjacent category and 2·4% in extreme quartiles. Actual values for surrogate FFQ quartiles showed a progressive increase in Ca intake (p<0·001). The FFQ correctly identified 77% of the children consuming less Ca than the age-specific RDA (800mg/d). Correlation between repeated administrations was 0·79. No significant difference between mean Ca intakes was established by two administrations (23·8 (sd 161·2) mg/d). Cross-classification of repeated administrations classified 93·4% of the subjects in the same or adjacent category and no subjects in extreme categories. This FFQ tended to underestimate preschool children's Ca intake when administered by a proxy. However, it demonstrated good repeatability and fairly good ability to classify subjects into extremes of Ca intake.

Abstrak Remaja sering kali mengalami permasalahan gizi, baik gizi kurang maupun gizi lebih. Hal ini dikarenakan banyak faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi status gizi pada remaja. Salah satunya adalah kebiasaan makan remaja yang melewatkan waktu makan, makan tidak teratur, tidak menyukai makanan tertentu, serta mengurangi frekuensi makan. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kebiasaan makan dengan status gizi pada mahasiswa STIK Immanuel Bandung. Desain dalam penelitian ini menggunakan cross sectional study, dengan pendekatan purposive sampling. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa STIK Immanuel Bandung. Rumus yang digunakan untuk perhitungan sampel adalah slovin, sehingga berdasarkan perhitungan dengan menggunakan rumus tersebut didapatkan 68 sampel. Kebiasaan makan diukur menggunakan kuesioner Food Frequency Questionnaire dan status gizi diukur menggunakan alat microtoise serta timbangan berat badan. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji statistik Chi-square. Hasil dalam penelitian didapatkan nilai signifikan 0,648 (p > 0,05) ini berarti tidak adanya hubungan antara kebiasaan makan dengan status gizi pada mahasiswa STIK Immanuel Bandung. Kata Kunci : kebiasaan Makan, Status Gizi, Mahasiswa Abstract Teenagers often experience nutritional problems, both malnutrition and over weight. This is because many factors can affect nutritional status in adolescents. Adolescents have many eating habits. Some of adolescents often skip meals, eat irregularly, do not like certain foods, and reduce the frequency of eating. The aimed of this study was to determine the relationship between food behaviour with nutritional status in Immanuel Institute of Health Science’s Student College. Design of this study was cross sectional, with purposive sampling. 68 student college from Immanuel Institute of Health Science used as participant. Food behaviour was measured by Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Nutritional status was measured by stature meter and weight scales. Data were analyzed by Chi-quare. Results showed that there were no relationship between food beaviour and nutritional status in Immanuel Institute of Health Scince’s student college (r = 0,648; p = > 0.05).

This study describes the development and reproducibility of a 128-item quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to measure usual food consumption for women in southeast China. The FFQ was pre-tested using 51 Chinese women who recently migrated to Australia. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.81 for internal consistency. The reliability of the FFQ was then assessed by another test-retest study. A sample of 41 women residing in southeast China was interviewed twice within 12 weeks. Intraclass correlation coefficients were moderate to high for mean food group consumption (0.43-0.96) and mean daily nutrient intakes (0.47-0.89). Kappa statistics for eating habits ranged from 0.27 to 0.89 in the test-retest. The mean ratio of energy intake to basal metabolic rate was 1.73 (S.D. 0.39) in both test and retest samples. The study confirmed that the FFQ method using standard containers is appropriate to assess dietary intake for women in southeast China. Asia Pac J Public Health 2005: 17(1): 29-35.

The Third

To select a valid method for obtaining dietary intake of preschool children, food intake of 17 children (8 in daycare programs and 9 in home care) was measured for three days. Each day, home caregivers and daycare staff were asked to recall what the child had eaten during the previous 24 hours. After the third day, the Willett Food Frequency Questionnaire was administered to assess intake during the preceding seven days, which included the three days of measured foods. There were no significant differences between means from measured and recalled intake. Although the children's gender and care status (daycare versus home care) made no difference in measured intake, there were significant differences in recalled intake for energy and percent of calories from saturated fat. In this study the questionnaire did not provide an accurate assessment of measured intake and could not replace the dietary recall.
