ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

assessing the relationship between childhood diseases and nutrient intake is a crucial issue that requires valid and reliable dietary assessment tools in this period of physical and physiological development.

OBJECTIVE:

the present study aimed to develop and validate a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to assess nutrient intake in Jordanian children.

METHODS:

in this validation study, nutrient intake as obtained from a culturally sensitive quantitative FFQ was compared to nutrient intake as assessed by four 24-hour dietary recalls (24-HRs) between September 2017 and May 2018. One hundred and thirty-six children aged 6-18 years were enrolled from selected schools in Amman, Jordan. Children or their caregivers were asked to complete the FFQ during an initial face-to-face interview. Four 24-HRs were collected weekly over one month. Of these children, 50 also took part in the reproducibility phase, which involved a repeat completion of the FFQ within 1 month.

RESULTS:

the intraclass correlation coefficients between the two FFQs ranged from 0.5 for trans-fats to 0.96 for calcium. Correlation coefficients between dietary intake estimates derived from the FFQ and 24-HRs were significant at p < 0.05. The highest correlation was detected for energy (0.8) while the lowest was identified for trans-fatty acids (0.04). For all nutrients, over 60 % of participants were classified into the same or adjacent quartile of crude and adjusted intake. Bland-Altman plots showed a satisfactory agreement between the two methods for energy and proteins.

CONCLUSION:

the FFQ showed a good reproducibility and a reasonable relative validity for most nutrients
RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN:

evaluar la relación entre las enfermedades infantiles y la ingesta de nutrientes es un tema crucial que requiere herramientas de evaluación dietética válidas y confiables en este período de desarrollo físico y fisiológico.

OBJETIVO:

el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo desarrollar y validar un cuestionario de frecuencia de alimentos (FFQ) para evaluar la ingesta de nutrientes de los niños jordanos.

MÉTODOS:

en este estudio de validación, la ingesta de nutrientes de un FFQ cuantitativo culturalmente sensible se comparó con la ingesta de nutrientes de cuatro recordatorios dietéticos de 24 horas (24-HR) entre septiembre de 2017 y mayo de 2018. Se reclutaron ciento treinta y seis niños y adolescentes de 6 a 18 años en escuelas seleccionadas de Amán, Jordania. Se pidió a los niños o sus cuidadores que completaran el FFQ en una entrevista inicial presencial. Se recogieron cuatro 24-HR semanalmente durante un mes. De estos niños, 50 también participaron en la fase de reproducibilidad, que involucró la repetición del FFQ en un plazo de 1 mes.

RESULTADOS:

los coeficientes de correlación intraclase entre los dos FFQ oscilaron entre 0,5 para las grasas trans y 0,96 para el calcio. Los coeficientes de correlación entre las estimaciones de la ingesta alimentaria derivadas del FFQ y los 24-HR fueron significativas, con un valor p < 0,05. La correlación más alta se detectó para la energía (0,8) mientras que la más baja fue para los ácidos grasos trans (0,04). Para todos los nutrientes, más del 60 % de los participantes se clasificaron en el mismo cuartil o el adyacente de ingesta cruda y ajustada. Las gráficas de Bland-Altman mostraron un acuerdo satisfactorio entre los dos métodos en términos de energía y proteínas.

CONCLUSIÓN:

el FFQ mostró una buena reproducibilidad y una validez relativa razonable para la mayoría de los nutrientes
