Development of self-assessments for intake of fat and other nutrient - AN0921
|
Objective
1.To seek to identify one or more sets of moderate numbers
of questions about food
choices, the scores for whose answers predict as accurately
as practicable an individual
UK consumer's average intake of total fats as a % of energy.
Sub-objectives:
(a.)To explore predictability of the individual's average
fat intake from food amounts
at different meals in 10-12 day Diet Diaries and 16-day
Weighed Food Records obtained
from 2 other projects being carried out by the project
leader and construct one or more
pilot long-form Inventories and scoring schemes.
(b.)To test predictions of fat intake from individuals'
scores on a pilot self-assessment
Inventory against intakes calculated from WFRs.
(c.)To test one or more short-form self-assessments based on
results from (b) on all
accessible individuals having a WFR or DD.
2.With MAFF agreement, seek to develop a self-assessment
quiz that reliably
discriminates between individual' sodium intakes at the
current national average and at the
recommended average (or more finely, if feasible).
Developing the "Salt Quiz" involves
the same principles as development of the "Fat Quiz"
(sub-objectives a-c).
3,If objective 2 proves feasible, discuss with MAFF the
possibility of carrying out at
least objective 1(a) for one or more other constituents for
which adequate data are
available.
