AbstractObjectiveTo assess the level of agreement between children and their parents when reporting a child’s food consumption.DesignCross-sectional study in which children and parents independently completed 7 d food diaries describing the foods and drinks the child consumed at every meal and snack. The association between child and parent reporting was assessed for nineteen food groups using Kendall’s tau-b non-parametric correlations, Spearman’s rank correlations, kappa coefficients and Lin’s concordance measure of agreement. Results were also stratified by gender of the child and his/her grade at school.SettingHouseholds in Ticino, Switzerland, April–June 2014.SubjectsTwo hundred and ninety-nine children aged 6–12 years and one of their parents participated, with 264 providing complete data (35 % completion rate).ResultsResults showed a high level of agreement between child and parent reporting. Spearman correlations ranged from 0·55 (sauces) and 0·57 (fatty meat) to 0·80 (fruit), 0·83 (starchy foods) and 0·84 (pastries). All nineteen Spearman correlations were significant at the 0·001 level. Kendall’s tau-b correlations ranged from 0·44 (fat meat) to 0·81 (puff pastry). Kappa values showed low to high levels of agreement, ranging from 0·15 (sweets) to 0·77 (puff pastry). Lin’s concordance correlation coefficients ranged from 0·39 (whole grains) to 0·86 (puff pastry).ConclusionsWhen assessing the eating behaviour of children using a 7 d food diary, children’s reports might be as reliable as their parents’.

Latar Belakang: Remaja merupakan salah satu kelompok rawan terhadap stunting karena remaja beresiko mengalami defisiensi asupan makanan baik makronutrien maupun mikronutrien. Defisiensi asupan kalsium dan zink yang merupakan mikronutrien penting bagi pertumbuhan adalah faktor resiko stunting. Stunting pada masa remaja ini akan menurunkan kapasitas dan produktivitas kerja serta dapat meningkatkan resiko kematian ibu pada saat melahirkan.Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis hubungan asupan kalsium dan asupan zink dengan kejadian stunting pada siswi SMP Unggulan Bina Insani Surabaya.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian cross sectional dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Dengan besar sampel 68 orang yang diambil secara acak sederhana. Pengumpulan data menggunakan pengukuran tinggi badan, food recall 2x24 jam. Data dianalisis menggunakanare teknik analisis deskriptif dan uji korelasi Kendall’s-Tau serta uji ANCOVA.Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan responden yang mengalami stunting sebesar 22,1% dan 77,9% normal, rata-rata nilai Z-score 1,13 ± 0,94. Tingkat konsumsi asupan kalsium cukup sebesar 7.4% dan 92.6% asupannya kurang, dengan rata-rata asupan sebesar 336,7 ± 326,2 mg/hari. Tingkat konsumsi asupan zink cukup sebesar 5.9% dan 94.1% asupannya kurang, dengan rata-rata asupan sebesar 5,7 ± 3,0 mg/hari. Tidak ada hubungan antara asupan kalsium (r=0.072;p=0.385), asupan zink (r=0.124;p=0.138), asupan kalsium dan zink (p=0,478) dengan kejadian stunting.Kesimpulan: Asupan kalsium dan zink tidak berhubungan dengan kejadian stunting pada siswi SMP Unggulan Bina Insani Surabaya. Agar dapat mencapai pertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang sesuai, siswi dapat melakukan pemantauan status gizinya secara rutin serta berperilaku hidup bersih dan sehat.ABSTRACTBackground: Adolescence is a vulnerable stunting group because adolescents are at risk of macronutrient or micronutrients intake deficiency. Calcium and zinc intake deficiency are vital micronutrients for the growth factor and the risk of stunting. Stunting in adolescence will reduce the work capacity and productivity and increase the risk of maternal death in childbirth.Objectives: This study was aimed to analyze the correlation between calcium, zinc intake and stunting prevalence on SMP Unggulan Bina Insani Surabaya schoolgirls.Methods: The research was a cross sectional study with quantitative approach. The sample size was 68 schoolgirls, were taken by simple random sampling. The data were collected by measuring height, food recall 2x24 hours. Analysis of data used in descriptive, Kendall’s-Tau and ANCOVA Test.Results: The results showed the proportion of respondents who experienced stunting 22% and normal 78%, with Zscore average at 1,13 ± 0,94. The consumption rate of calcium intake was sufficient at 7,4% and insufficient at 92,6%, with an average at 336,7 ± 326,2 mg/day. The consumption rate of zinc intake was sufficient at 5,9% and insufficient at 94,1%, with an average at 5,7 ± 3,0 mg/day. There is no relationship between the calcium intake (r=0.072;p=0.385), zinc intake (r=0.124;p=0.138), calcium and zinc intake (p=0,478) with the stunting prevalence.Conclusions: The intake of calcium and zinc doesn’t related to the stunting prevalence of the schoolgirls. The scoolgirls should to regularly monitor their nutritional status and behave in clean and healthy life, in order to achieve appropriate growth and development

AbstractObjective:The present study aimed to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of a thirteen-item FFQ regarding identification of dietary conditions in a rural population in China.Design:A reproducibility study repeated the first FFQ (FFQ1) approximately 4 weeks later (FFQ2). A validity study evaluated the mean of three consecutive 24 h diet recalls as the reference measure.Setting:Cross-sectional study.Participants:Residents of a rural area in Henan Province, which is located in the central region of China.Results:A total of 295 individuals participated in the reproducibility study. In addition, 123 people agreed to participate in the validity study. Spearman’s correlation coefficients between the two FFQ ranged from 0·06 (vegetables) to 0·58 (eggs). Spearman’s correlation coefficients between the two methods of collection ranged from 0·01 for cereal to 0·49 for staple foods. The mean of the intraclass correlation coefficients of the two FFQ (FFQ1 v. FFQ2) was 0·19. Bland–Altman analysis indicated good agreement for most food groups across the range of intake for the two studies.Conclusions:The study demonstrated that our FFQ design could be used as a representative tool to conduct a dietary evaluation of a rural population.

Food consumption survey is an essential parts of nutrition surveys. It helps to determine the type and quantity of food consumed, assessing the balance of the diet, the relationship between nutrient intake and health, diseases, and economic status, culture society... There are many methods to investigate food consumption. 24-hour food record is a method that record all food consumed by the subject during previous 24 hours. Using this method in chidren helps to assess the their diet to see if it responses the demand in order to have proper nutrition. Objectives: 1. Calculating the number of each food groups consumed within 24 hours of children 1 to 5 years in Phuoc Vinh ward, Hue City; 2. Assessing the quality of their diet and some related factors. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was implemented on 200 pairs of children aged 1 to 5 and parents or caregivers living in Phuoc Vinh ward, Hue city and some related factors. Results: 82% of the children’s diets covered 4 food groups. Prevalence of glucide, protein, lipide out of the total energy intake were 44.1%, 19.5%, 36.3% respectively within group of 12-<48 months and 50%, 19.5%, 30.6% respectively within group of 48-<72 months. Total energy and protein intake were higher than demanded (p <0.05) while glucide and lipide were lower than demanded (p <0.05). Economical status of family was significant associated with variety of food (all 4 food groups) in the diet of children (p <0.05) and total energy consumed (p <0.05). Conclusion: The children did not have proper nutrition so further research need to be implemented to have suitable interventions. Key words: 24 hours food records, children aged 1 to 5, Hue city.

Complementary feeding (CF) is an important determinant of early and later life nutrition with great implications for the health status and the development of an adequate growth. Parents can choose between homemade foods (HMFs) and/or commercial infant foods (CIFs). There is no consistent evidence as to whether HMFs provide a better nutritional profile and variety over CIFs. The aim of this study was to compare the nutritional profiles and food variety of HMFs versus CIFs in the Spanish market targeted for infants (6–11 months) and young children (12–18 months). Thirty mothers with their children aged 6 to 18 months were included in this cross-sectional study, following a 3-day weighed food diary of which HMFs were collected and chemically analyzed. HMFs meals for infant provided significantly lower energy, higher protein and higher fiber, for young children provided significantly higher protein and fiber than CIFs meals. HMFs fruit purees for infant shown significantly higher fiber and for young children provided higher energy than CIFs. HMFs meals contained a significantly greater number of different vegetables than CIFs meals (3.7 vs. 3.3), with carrot as the most frequently used in both. However, in CIFs fruit purees shown higher different fruits than HMFs, in both the banana was the fruit most frequently used. There was a predominance of meat and lack of oily fish and legumes in both HMFs and CIFs meals. HMFs and CIFs were equally characterized by a soft texture and yellow-orange colours. Importantly, our findings emphasize the need for clear guidelines for the preparation of HMFs as well as the promotion of food variety (taste and textures) in both HMFs and CIFs to suit infants’ and young children’s nutritional and developmental needs.

Abstract A validation study of an interviewer-administered, seven-day semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (7-d SQFFQ) was conducted in Bangladeshi rural preschool age children. Using a cross-sectional study design, 105 children from 103 households were randomly selected. For the SQFFQ, a list of commonly consumed foods was adapted from the Bangladesh national micronutrient survey 2011–12. The data on the actual number of times and the amount of the children's consumption of the foods in the preceding 1 week were collected by interviewing the mothers. The intake was compared with two non-consecutive days 24-h dietary recalls conducted within 2 weeks after the SQFFQ. Validity was assessed by the standard statistical tests. After adjusting for the energy intake and de-attenuation for within-subject variation, the food groups (cereals, animal source foods, milk and the processed foods) had ‘good’ correlations between the methods (rho 0⋅65–0⋅93; P < 0⋅001). Similarly, the macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein and fats) had ‘good’ correlations (rho 0⋅50–0⋅75; P < 0⋅001) and the key micronutrients (iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin A, etc.) demonstrated ‘good’ correlations (rho 0⋅46–0⋅85; P < 0⋅001). The variation in classifying the two extreme quintiles by the SQFFQ and the 24-h recalls was <10 %. The results from Lin's concordance coefficients showed a ‘moderate’ to ‘excellent’ absolute agreement between the two methods for food groups, and nutrients (0⋅21–0⋅90; P < 0⋅001). This interviewer-administered, 7-d SQFFQ with an open-ended intake frequency demonstrated adequate validity to assess the dietary intake for most nutrients and suitable for dietary assessments of young children in Bangladesh.

AbstractThe protocol established for taking hand grip dynamometry measurements determines that the patient must be in a sitting position. This protocol cannot be applied due to the patient’s conditions in some cases, such as abdominal surgery, musculoskeletal spine or hip injuries. The purpose was to determine the reproducibility and level of agreement between the Handgrip dynamometry in supine position with the elbow flexed or extended, and the one measured in the sitting position, the design was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The population were young apparently healthy between 18 and 30 years of age (N = 201). Handgrip measurement was performed on both upper limbs in a sitting position with a flexed elbow, a supine position with a flexed elbow, and supine position with the elbow extended. Reproducibility was nearly perfect in all positions (ICC 0.95–0.97). Regarding the level of agreement for the comparison between sitting and supine positions with a flexed elbow, an average difference of − 0.406. For supine position with an extended elbow and supine position with a flexed elbow, the average difference was − 1.479. Considering the results, clinicians or researchers can choose any of the positions evaluated herein and obtain reliable results as long as the standardization process is followed.

The aim of this study was to describe the distribution of waist circumference (WC) and WC to height (WCTH) values among Kaingáng indigenous adolescents in order to estimate the prevalence of high WCTH values and evaluate the correlation between WC and WCTH and body mass index (BMI)-for-age. A total of 1,803 indigenous adolescents were evaluated using a school-based cross-sectional study. WCTH values > 0.5 were considered high. Higher mean WC and WCTH values were observed for girls in all age categories. WCTH values > 0.5 were observed in 25.68% of the overall sample of adolescents. Mean WC and WCTH values were significantly higher for adolescents with BMI/age z-scores > 2 than for those with normal z-scores. The correlation coefficients of WC and WCTH for BMI/age were r = 0.68 and 0.76, respectively, for boys, and r = 0.79 and 0.80, respectively, for girls. This study highlights elevated mean WC and WCTH values and high prevalence of abdominal obesity among Kaingáng indigenous adolescents.
