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.

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.

Abstract Poor dietary habits have become one of the most important concerns among public health policy makers in recent years, due to the impact they have on both economic and health systems of a country. The transitional period toward young adulthood, marked with high school graduation and the beginning of college years, has been identified as critical in terms of its influence on young people’s bad eating habits. The aim of this study was to assess whether the results obtained through Food Frequency Questionnaire significantly correlate with standard body parameters. Participants included 210 students from the University of Banja Luka, with the mean age of 21.94 ± 2.73 years. Factorization of Food Frequency Questionnaire Instrument extracted seven factors which were subjected to multiple regression analysis as independent variables, and correlated to dependent variables - anthropological measurements. This study shows that the factors labeled as consumption of bread, consumption of healthy food, and intake of carbohydrates, are significantly related to Body Fat Percentage, whereas factors labeled as intake of food of animal origin, and intake of fruits and vegetables, are statistically significant in terms of their relation to Waist-to-Hip Ratio. Only one factor, labeled as intake of unhealthy food, is significantly related to Body Mass Index; this is to suggest that Body Mass Index has again showed many limitations with regard to its research relevance. This research has also found that students of the University of Banja Luka typically consume white bread, known to have a direct link with overweight and obesity.

Purpose: Canada’s multicultural population poses challenges for culturally competent nutrition research and practice. In this qualitative study, the cultural relevance of a widely used semiquantitative fruit and vegetable food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was examined among convenience samples of adults from Toronto’s Cantonese-, Mandarin-, Portuguese-, and Vietnamesespeaking communities. Methods: Eighty-nine participants were recruited through community-based organizations, programs, and advertisements to participate in semi-structured interviews moderated in their native language. Data from the interviews were translated into English and transcribed for analysis using the constant comparative approach. Results: Four main themes emerged from the analysis: the cultural relevance of the foods listed on the FFQ, words with multiple meanings, the need for culturally appropriate portionsize prompts, and the telephone survey as a Western concept. Conclusions: This research highlights the importance of investing resources to develop culturally relevant dietary assessment tools that ensure dietary assessment accuracy and, more important, reduce ethnocentric biases in food and nutrition research and practice. The transferability of findings must be established through further research.
