[Validity of scores calculated from the results of a food frequency questionnaire]
Abstract:
To study the validity of three evaluative scores (Balance score, Vegetable score, Dietary habit score) calculated from the results of a food frequency questionnaire, the frequency of food selections from various food groups and other dietary habits were investigated in 308 female students aged 18-19 using a specially structured questionnaire. In addition, a quantitative nutrient survey with values indicated by weight was performed on each participant. (1) Balance score, Vegetable score and Dietary habits score appeared to be useful indicators for estimation of nutrient intake, vegetable intake and dietary habits, respectively. (2) Analysis showed that nutrient intake can be estimated more distinctly by the simultaneous use of balance score and dietary habits score.
