Associations Among Diet Quality-Related Biomarkers, Block Food Frequency Questionnaire, and 24-hour Dietary Recall

Abstract Objectives Self-reported dietary data suffer from high measurement error and findings that rely on them are of limited value. We determined the association of diet quality related biomarkers with associated measures from Block Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and Automated Self-Administered 24-hour dietary Assessment Tool (ASA24); and the association of FFQ and ASA24. Methods This cross-sectional single-visit study included 127 subjects (18–60 years, BMI ≥18.5 kg/m2). Diet quality related biomarkers were collected from pre-planned subsample (N = 33) to measure - plasma alkylresorcinol for whole grain, omega-3 index, serum fatty acid composition for dairy, serum carotenoids for fruit and vegetable, and serum selenium for seafood intake. Self-reported dietary intake data for whole grain, Omega-3 index, fatty acid, carotenoids, and selenium were calculated per instrument guidelines using FFQ and ASA24. Biomarkers were analyzed by Mass Spectrometry Facility, TTU. Outcomes with missing data were handled via multiple imputation with predictive mean matching. Spearman's correlation coefficient (using R statistical software) were used to assess the association of biomarkers with self-reported measures (N = 33), and the association between FFQ and ASA24 (N = 33, and N = 127). Results Diet quality related biomarkers were not associated with self-reported intake (all P > 0.07), except, omega-3 index was significantly correlated with reported intake in FFQ (P = 0.01). Significant associations were reported for whole grain, omega-3 index, and dairy intake between FFQ and ASA24 (P = 0.02, P = 0.01, P = 0.05 respectively; N = 33). After further analysis with N = 127 between FFQ and ASA24 significant association were reported in whole grain (P = 0.02), Omega-3 index (P = 4.90e-3), dairy (P = 1.79e-8), and seafood intake (P = 6.06e-4), but not carotenoid intake (P = 0.96). Conclusions A significant association between measures via FFQ and ASA24 suggests consistency in self-reporting and also the likelihood these measures do not capture the time-frames they purport to – but rather a self-belief/representation of habitual intake patterns. Interestingly, the association of one of the biomarkers with self-reported intake suggests the necessity of including larger sample to better determine validity of self-reported data.

An accurate dietary fish questionnaire can be used to predict dietary intake status of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA). The aim of this study was to design and validate a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to predict fish consumption of primary school children against a 7-day food diary (7d FD). A cross-sectional study was performed in elementary school in Surakarta, Indonesia. A total of 164 children aged 8 to 12 yo which were recruited using multi-stage random sampling were participated in this study. The FFQ consisted of 38 species of fish including 27 species of fresh fish and 11 species of processed fish. Total median (interquartile range) fish intake determined from the FFQ vs 7d FD was similar of 60 (36-114) g/d and 59 (37-108) g/d, respectively. A very good correlation was found between the FFQ and 7d FD by Spearman’s correlation coefficient test (r=0.965, p=0.0001) with an acceptable of the two methods using non-parametric limit of agreement (95% LoA=-10.907-34.619, median difference=0.011, 95% CI for median difference=-2.408-1.193). The FFQ is acceptable a valid tool to determine fish intake in this group.

Fatty Acid Composition Data

To address limited food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) capacity in public health monitoring in Malaysia, we aimed to develop a semi-quantitative FFQ for an adult multiethnic population for comprehensive fatty acid (FA) profiling inclusive of saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), PUFA:SFA ratio, trans fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6 FAs. A 240-food itemed FFQ used diet records (DR) of Malaysia Lipid Study (MLS) participants and fatty acid composition database from laboratory analyzed foods. The developed MLS-FFQ underwent face and content validation before relative validation in a free-living population (n = 114). Validation was facilitated for macronutrient data comparisons between DR and FFQ via Spearman’s correlation coefficient analyses; and for fatty acid composition data by independent pairing of DR, FFQ and plasma triglyceride using the triads method. Moderate correlation between dietary methods was obtained for macronutrients and FAs (r = 0.225–0.457, p < 0.05) except for ω-3 FAs, presenting good agreement with grossly misclassified nutrients <10%. For fatty acid composition data, the magnitude of validity coefficients (z) for SFA, PUFA, PUFA:SFA ratios and ω-6 FAs by all 3 methods were not significantly different (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the MLS-FFQ was shown to be a valid tool to assess population dietary intakes.

Introduction: Many studies have shown an inverse association of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) from fish intake and supplementation with coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality. However, findings on the relationship of omega-3 PUFA with nonfatal CHD and stroke are less consistent. Higher doses or prolonged intake may be needed to affect non-fatal cardiovascular events. We hypothesized that among Veterans, greater baseline fish intake is associated with a lower risk of nonfatal CHD and stroke, particularly among those who regularly use omega-3 supplements. Methods: The Million Veteran Program (MVP) is an ongoing nation-wide longitudinal cohort study of U.S. Veterans with self-reported survey, biospecimen, and electronic health record data. Participants who were free of CHD or stroke at the time of the baseline food frequency questionnaire were included in this analysis. Separate Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the associations of fish intake with non-fatal incident CHD and stroke, defined from electronic health records using validated algorithms. Fish intake (serving=3-5 oz.) within the past year was categorized as <1 serving/month, 1-3 servings/month, 1 serving/week, 2-4 servings/week, 5-6 servings/week, and 1+ serving/day. We assessed whether omega-3 fatty acid supplementation (yes/no) modifies these relationships by testing its interaction with fish intake. Multivariable models included demographics and known CHD and stroke risk factors: age, sex, race, smoking status, alcohol use, physical activity, education, overall dietary pattern, BMI, family history of CHD or stroke, and baseline diabetes, hypertension, and use of statins and fibrates. Results: Among 508,699 MVP participants to date, 210,180 (mean age 66±12 years, 92.1% male) were free of CHD or stroke and had data from the food frequency questionnaire at baseline. Median fish intake was 1 serving/week and 21.7% (45,552 out of 210,180) regularly took omega-3 supplements. Over a median follow-up of 2.9 years, there were 5,991 and 4,244 incident cases of non-fatal CHD and stroke, respectively. Using <1 fish serving/month as the reference, multivariable adjusted HR (95% CI) for CHD were 0.99 (0.91-1.07) for 1-3 servings/month, 1.06 (0.98-1.15) for 1 serving/week, 1.06 (0.96-1.16) for 2-4 servings/week, 1.26 (1.03-1.53) for 5-6 servings/week, and 0.96 (0.68-1.34) for 1+ serving/day, (p-trend=0.08); corresponding values for stroke were 0.95 (0.87-1.05) for 1-3 servings/month, 0.96 (0.87-1.06) for 1 serving/week, 0.99 (0.88-1.11) for 2-4 servings/week, 1.05 (0.83-1.34) for 5-6 servings/week, and 1.23 (0.87-1.74) for 1+ serving/day, (p-trend=0.60). Intake of omega-3 fatty acid supplements did not modify the fish-CHD/stoke relations (p-interaction=0.32 and 0.82, respectively). Conclusions: We observed no consistent association between fish intake and non-fatal CHD or stroke.
