data driven development of the meal based Diet History questionnaire for japanese adults
British Journal of Nutrition, 2021Co-Authors: Kentaro Murakami, Barbara M E Livingstone, Nana Shinozaki, Tracy A Mccaffrey, Satoshi SasakiAbstract:FFQ, the primary method of Dietary assessment in large-scale nutritional epidemiological studies, preclude an informed evaluation of the timing of Dietary intake and meal-specific Dietary intake. In this study, we developed the Meal-based Diet History Questionnaire (MDHQ), a self-administered questionnaire designed for estimating food and nutrient intakes for each meal type separately. The development was done based on a 16-d Dietary record obtained from 242 Japanese adults. The MDHQ consisted of the three different parts, with a total of 196 items. Part 1 of the MDHQ asks about consumption frequency of generic food groups (n 24) for each meal type: breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and night snack. Part 2 of the MDHQ asks about relative consumption frequency of sub-food groups within one of the generic food groups which are asked in Part 1. Combining information derived from Parts 1 and 2 enables us to increase the number of foods we can estimate efficiently but within a limited number of questions. Part 3 of the MDHQ asks about general eating behaviours, which are intended to use in a variety of ways during Dietary intake calculation. A series of calculation algorithms for food groups, energy and nutrients was also prepared. Given that the MDHQ was empirically developed based on comprehensive information on actual food consumption, this innovative tool may be promising for future epidemiological research on meal patterns and time of day of Dietary intake, or chrono-nutrition research. A rigorous evaluation of validity of the MDHQ is warranted.

evaluation of energy intake by brief type self administered Diet History questionnaire among male patients with stable at risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2021Co-Authors: Yuki Nishida, Satoshi Sasaki, Hidetoshi Nakamura, Toru Shirahata, Hideaki Sato, Sanehiro Yogi, Yosuke Yamada, Satoshi Nakae, Shigeho Tanaka, Fuminori KatsukawaAbstract:Background and objective Weight loss and reduced fat-free mass are independent risk factors for mortality among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These factors are important for determining Diet therapy and examining the validity of assessment for energy intake (EI). We assessed the agreement of EI between a brief-type self-administered Diet History questionnaire (BDHQ) and the doubly labelled water (DLW) method among male patients with stable/at risk for COPD. Method In this cross-sectional observational study, data for 33 male patients were analysed. At the first visit, EI was estimated using a BDHQ (EIBDHQ). Total energy expenditure (TEE) was measured during 13–15 days by the DLW method, while corrected EI was calculated using the TEE and weight change during the DLW period (EIDLW). The difference between EIBDHQ and EIDLW was evaluated by the Bland-Altman method. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the proportion of variance in the difference between EIBDHQ and EIDLW, as determined by the patient’s characteristics. Results EIBDHQ was 2100 (95% CI: 1905 to 2295) kcal/day in the total population. A fixed bias was observed between EIBDHQ and EIDLW as −186 (95% CI: −422 to 50) kcal/day, while a proportional bias was not detected by the Bland-Altman analysis. Age, weight, anxiety and interleukin 6 were responsible for 61.7% of the variance in the difference between both EIs in a multiple regression model. Conclusions The BDHQ underestimated EI among male patients with stable/at risk for COPD, but this estimation error was within an acceptable range compared with previous studies. EIBDHQ precision might be improved by considering common COPD traits, including inflammatory condition and mental state.

assessment of foods associated with sodium and potassium intake in japanese youths using the brief type self administered Diet History questionnaire
Nutrients, 2021Co-Authors: Masayuki Okuda, Satoshi SasakiAbstract:The identification of sodium and potassium intake in youths is an important step to preventing the increase of blood pressure in childhood. We examined food intake and estimated mineral intake using a brief-type self-administered Diet History questionnaire (BDHQ) to test its validity as a comparison with urinary excretion in Japanese youths. The subjects were 5th and 8th graders (n = 2377), who completed the BDHQ and permitted the use of their overnight urine specimens. Sodium intake was poorly associated with sodium excretion (Rho = 0.048), and the coefficients of Dietary potassium and a sodium-to-potassium molar ratio were 0.091-0.130. Higher soybean paste (miso) intake and pickles were significantly associated with higher sodium excretion (p ≤ 0.005). However, these foods were positively associated with potassium excretion (p = 0.002-0.012), and not associated with an excreted sodium-to-potassium ratio. Fruits and dairy products were positively associated (p ≤ 0.048), whereas beverages were negatively associated with potassium excretion (p ≤ 0.004). The association of the sodium-to-potassium ratio was opposite to that of potassium (p ≤ 0.001). The choice of foods, potassium, and the sodium-to-potassium ratio assessed using the BDHQ are available as part of health education for youths, but the assessment of sodium intake in population levels should be carefully conducted.

relative validity of starch and sugar intake in japanese adults as estimated with comprehensive and brief self administered Diet History questionnaires
Journal of Epidemiology, 2020Co-Authors: Aya Fujiwara, Kentaro Murakami, Satoshi SasakiAbstract:Background In Japan, large-scale epidemiological studies on starch and sugar intake are scarce, mainly due to a lack of a suitable assessment tool. We examined the relative validity of two widely-used Dietary assessment questionnaires for Japanese adults, the comprehensive Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ) and the brief DHQ (BDHQ), for estimating the intake of starch and 10 types of sugars: total sugar, sucrose, maltose, lactose, trehalose, glucose, fructose, galactose, and added and free sugars. Methods A total of 92 women and 92 men completed 4-day weighed Dietary records (DRs) besides the DHQ and BDHQ in each of the four seasons. For each method, starch and sugar intake was calculated according to a recently developed food composition database on starch and sugars for Japanese food items. Results For most of the carbohydrate variables examined, the median energy-adjusted intake derived from the first DHQ and BDHQ (DHQ1 and BDHQ1, respectively) significantly differed from those derived from the 16-day DRs in both sexes. Spearman correlation coefficients between the 16-day DRs and DHQ1 were acceptable (≥0.31) for all variables (0.31-0.67), except for maltose and trehalose in women (≤0.29). For BDHQ1, the correlations were also acceptable for all variables (0.32-0.64), except for maltose (≤0.26) and galactose (≤0.06). Similar results were observed for the mean of four DHQs and BDHQs. Conclusions This study indicated a reasonable ranking ability of DHQ and BDHQ for the intake of starch and most sugars examined, despite a poor ability to estimate the intake at the both group and individual levels.

reproducibility and relative validity of the healthy eating index 2015 and nutrient rich food index 9 3 estimated by comprehensive and brief Diet History questionnaires in japanese adults
Nutrients, 2019Co-Authors: Kentaro Murakami, Barbara M E Livingstone, Aya Fujiwara, Satoshi SasakiAbstract:We examined the reproducibility and relative validity of two measures of overall Diet quality, the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) and Nutrient-Rich Food Index 9.3 (NRF9.3), as estimated by well-established self-administered Dietary assessment questionnaires for the Japanese, namely the comprehensive Diet History questionnaire (DHQ) and the brief Diet History questionnaire (BDHQ). Diet was assessed separately by two DHQs and two BDHQs at a 1-year interval and by 16-day weighed Dietary records (DRs) in 121 women and 121 men aged 31–81 years. HEI-2015 and NRF9.3 were calculated from each method. The reproducibility correlation for the two questionnaires (intraclass correlation) ranged from 0.53 (HEI-2015 from BDHQ in men) to 0.77 (NRF9.3 from BDHQ in women). The validity correlation between the first questionnaires and DR (Pearson correlation) ranged from 0.37 (NRF9.3 from BDHQ in men) to 0.61 (NRF9.3 from DHQ and BDHQ in women). Bland–Altman plots showed poor agreement between the DHQ or BDHQ and DR, as well as the presence of weak proportional bias. Overall, these data indicate reasonable reproducibility and ranking ability of the DHQ and BDHQ for assessing the HEI-2015 and NRF9.3 and support their usefulness in future epidemiological research on the overall effects of Japanese Diets on various health outcomes.

using national Dietary intake data to evaluate and adapt the us Diet History questionnaire the stepwise tailoring of an ffq for canadian use
Public Health Nutrition, 2016Co-Authors: Ilona Csizmadi, Geraldine Lo Siou, Beatrice A Boucher, Isabelle Massarelli, Isabelle Rondeau, Didier Garriguet, Anita Koushik, Janine Elenko, Amy F SubarAbstract:Objective To evaluate the Canadian Diet History Questionnaire I (C-DHQ I) food list and to adapt the US DHQ II for Canada using Canadian Dietary survey data. Design Twenty-four-hour Dietary recalls reported by adults in a national Canadian survey were analysed to create a food list corresponding to C-DHQ I food questions. The percentage contribution of the food list to the total survey intake of seventeen nutrients was used as the criterion to evaluate the suitability of the C-DHQ I to capture food intake in Canadian populations. The data were also analysed to identify foods and to modify portion sizes for the C-DHQ II. Setting The Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) - Cycle 2.2 Nutrition (2004). Subjects Adults (n 20 159) who completed 24 h Dietary recalls during in-person interviews. Results Four thousand five hundred and thirty-three foods and recipes were grouped into 268 Food Groups, of which 212 corresponded to questions on the C-DHQ I. Nutrient intakes captured by the C-DHQ I ranged from 79 % for fat to 100 % for alcohol. For the new C-DHQ II, some food questions were retained from the original US DHQ II while others were added based on foods reported in CCHS and foods available on the Canadian market since 2004. Of 153 questions, 143 were associated with portion sizes of which fifty-three were modified from US values. Sex-specific nutrient profiles for the C-DHQ II nutrient database were derived using CCHS data. Conclusions The C-DHQ I and II are designed to optimize the capture of foods consumed by Canadian populations.

adaptation and evaluation of the national cancer institute s Diet History questionnaire and nutrient database for canadian populations
Public Health Nutrition, 2007Co-Authors: Ilona Csizmadi, Thea Palmer Zimmerman, Lisa Kahle, Ruth Ullman, Ursula Dawe, Christine M Friedenreich, Heather Bryant, Amy F SubarAbstract:Background and objective: Despite assumed similarities in Canadian and US Dietary habits, some differences in food availability and nutrient fortification exist. Food-frequency questionnaires designed for the USA may therefore not provide the most accurate estimates of Dietary intake in Canadian populations. Hence, we undertook to evaluate and modify the National Cancer Institute's Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ) and nutrient database. Methods: Of the foods queried on the DHQ, those most likely to differ in nutrient composition were identified. Where possible these foods were matched to comparable foods in the Canadian Nutrient File. Nutrient values were examined and modified to reflect the Canadian content of minerals (calcium, iron, zinc) and vitamins (A, C, D, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B 6 , folate and B 12 ). DHQs completed by 13 181 Alberta Cohort Study participants aged 35-69 years were analysed to estimate nutrient intakes using the original US and modified versions of the DHQ databases. Misclassification of intake for meeting the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) was determined following analysis with the US nutrient database. Results: Twenty-five per cent of 2411 foods deemed most likely to differ in nutrient profile were subsequently modified for folate, 11% for vitamin D, 10% for calcium and riboflavin, and between 7 and 10% for the remaining nutrients of interest. Misclassification with respect to meeting the DRI varied but was highest for folate (7%) and vitamin A (7%) among men, and for vitamin D (7%) among women over 50 years of age. Conclusion: Errors in nutrient intake estimates owing to differences in food fortification between the USA and Canada can be reduced in Canadian populations by using nutrient databases that reflect Canadian fortification practices.

carotenoid and tocopherol estimates from the nci Diet History questionnaire are valid compared with multiple recalls and serum biomarkers
Journal of Nutrition, 2006Co-Authors: Beth L Dixon, Amy F Subar, Frances E Thompson, Lisa Kahle, Louise Wideroff, Nancy PotischmanAbstract:To improve the measurement of usual Dietary intake, the National Cancer Institute developed a cognitively based Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ), which has been validated against four 24-h Dietary recalls (4 24-HR) for energy, macronutrients, and several vitamins and minerals. This analysis used data from The Eating at America's Table Study (EATS) to determine the validity of estimates for carotenoids and tocopherols from the DHQ. Over the course of a year, 163 participants provided 1 or 2 blood samples and completed the DHQ and 4 24-HR. For both the DHQ and the 4 24-HR, crude correlations between serum and Diet were modest to strong for the provitamin A carotenoids (alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin), low to modest for lycopene, and very low for lutein. The individual Dietary tocopherols were weakly correlated with the serum tocopherols, but vitamin E from food and Dietary supplements was strongly and positively correlated with serum alpha-tocopherol and strongly and inversely correlated with serum gamma-tocopherol for both instruments. Adjustment for energy, BMI, smoking status, serum total cholesterol, and serum triacylglycerol did not appreciably change the correlations. Using the method of triads, validity coefficients for the DHQ were comparable to the 4 24-HR and were especially strong for alpha-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein + zeaxanthin, and total vitamin E in men and gamma-tocopherol and total vitamin E in women. In this study, there was no advantage of 2 blood samples over 1, suggesting reasonably stable ranking of individuals for these biomarkers, which is important for large epidemiologic studies that typically obtain only 1 blood sample for biomarker status.

methodology for adding glycemic load values to the national cancer institute Diet History questionnaire database
Journal of The American Dietetic Association, 2006Co-Authors: Andrew Flood, Amy F Subar, David J.a. Jenkins, Stephen G Hull, Thea Palmer Zimmerman, Arthur SchatzkinAbstract:Abstract Background A growing interest exists in using glycemic index and glycemic load as potentially important exposures in investigations of risk for a variety of chronic diseases. Objective We added values for glycemic index and glycemic load to the nutrient database of a commonly used Dietary assessment instrument, the Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ). Design The nutrient database for the DHQ is based on 4,200 individual foods reported by adults in the 1994-1996 US Department of Agriculture Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII). This list was condensed into 225 nutritionally similar groupings of individual foods. Using published glycemic index values we assigned glycemic index values to each of the individual CSFII foods in these food groups. In cases where CSFII foods did not correspond tightly to foods with published glycemic index values, we used decision criteria to assign glycemic index values. We then calculated sex- and serving size-specific glycemic load for each of the 225 food groups using the weighted mean method. Quality assessments were made to help evaluate the success of this method for assigning glycemic load values. Results Seventy-one percent of the top carbohydrate-contributing food groups had in excess of 90% of the CSFII mentions linked directly to a published glycemic index value (ie, no imputation was required), and 100% of these food groups had at least 50% of total mentions linked directly. Conclusions Using this method, it is now possible to use DHQ responses to assess the associations between reported glycemic load and glycemic index and risk of many chronic diseases in epidemiologic studies.

the national cancer institute Diet History questionnaire validation of pyramid food servings
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2006Co-Authors: Amy E Millen, Douglas Midthune, Frances E Thompson, Victor Kipnis, Amy F SubarAbstract:The performance of the National Cancer Institute's food frequency questionnaire, the Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ), in estimating servings of 30 US Department of Agriculture Food Guide Pyramid food groups was evaluated in the Eating at America's Table Study (1997-1998), a nationally representative sample of men and women aged 20-79 years. Participants who completed four nonconsecutive, telephone-administered 24-hour Dietary recalls (n = 1,301) were mailed a DHQ; 965 respondents completed both the 24-hour Dietary recalls and the DHQ. The US Department of Agriculture's Pyramid Servings Database was used to estimate intakes of pyramid servings for both Diet assessment tools. The correlation (rho) between DHQ-reported intake and true intake and the attenuation factor (lambda) were estimated using a measurement error model with repeat 24-hour Dietary recalls as the reference instrument. Correlations for energy-adjusted pyramid servings of foods ranged from 0.43 (other starchy vegetables) to 0.84 (milk) among women and from 0.42 (eggs) to 0.80 (total dairy food) among men. The mean rho and lambda after energy adjustment were 0.62 and 0.60 for women and 0.63 and 0.66 for men, respectively. This food frequency questionnaire validation study of foods measured in pyramid servings allowed for a measure of food intake consistent with national Dietary guidance.

soy isoflavone intake and prevalence of depressive symptoms during pregnancy in japan baseline data from the kyushu okinawa maternal and child health study
European Journal of Nutrition, 2018Co-Authors: Yoshihiro Miyake, Satoshi Sasaki, Hitomi Okubo, Keiko Tanaka, Shinya Furukawa, Masashi ArakawaAbstract:Objective Several observational studies and trials examined the relationship between isoflavones or soybeans and depressive symptoms among peri- and postmenopausal women. We cross-sectionally evaluated the associations between intake of soy products and isoflavones and depressive symptoms during pregnancy in Japan. Methods Study subjects were 1745 pregnant women. Dietary intake during the preceding month was assessed using a self-administered Diet History questionnaire. Depressive symptoms were defined by a score of 16 or over in the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Results Higher intake of total soy products, tofu, tofu products, fermented soybeans, boiled soybeans, miso soup, and isoflavones was independently related to a lower prevalence of depressive symptoms during pregnancy: The adjusted prevalence ratios (95 % confidence intervals, P for trend) between extreme quartiles were 0.63 (0.47-0.85, 0.002), 0.72 (0.54-0.96, 0.007), 0.74 (0.56-0.98, 0.04), 0.57 (0.42-0.76, Conclusions Our study is the first to show independent inverse relationships between intake of total soy products, tofu, tofu products, fermented soybeans, boiled soybeans, miso soup, and isoflavones and depressive symptoms during pregnancy.

validation study of a self administered Diet History questionnaire for estimating amino acid intake among japanese adults
Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2018Co-Authors: Hitomi Suga, Satoshi Sasaki, Keiko Asakura, Hitomi Okubo, Naoko Hirota, Akiko Notsu, Mitsuru Fukui, Masanori Nojima, Chigusa DateAbstract:Background and Objectives: Despite growing interest in the association between Dietary amino acid intake and optimal health, validated Dietary questionnaires that can estimate amino acid intake have been scarce. We examined the validity of amino acid intakes estimated using a self-administered Diet History questionnaire (DHQ) comparing with 16-day semi-weighed Dietary records (DR). Methods and Study Design: A total of 184 Japanese men and women completed a four-day DR and a DHQ four times, once in each season. Dietary amino acid intakes were estimated as crude, energy-adjusted, and percentage of total protein intake (% protein) using an amino acid database of Japanese foods. The validity of Dietary amino acid intake estimated by the first-time DHQ was examined using the mean of 16 days' DRs as reference. Results: Mean intakes of almost all amino acids estimated by DHQ were significantly lower than those estimated by the DR for energy-adjusted values in both sexes. Although mean amino acid intakes estimated by DHQ were significantly higher than those estimated by the DR for % protein value, the differences between the DR and DHQ were slight (-0.04 to 0.39% protein for men, -0.05 to 0.37% protein for women). Pearson correlation coefficients between DHQ and the DR showed reasonable ranking ability in % protein values for men (interquartile range (Q1-Q3): 0.31-0.47) and energy-adjusted values for women (interquartile range (Q1-Q3): 0.40-0.45). Conclusion: DHQ showed acceptable ability to estimate mean amino acid intake and to rank individuals in a population according to their amino acid intake for using in large-scale epidemiological studies.

effect of seasonality on the estimated mean value of nutrients and ranking ability of a self administered Diet History questionnaire
Nutrition Journal, 2014Co-Authors: Hitomi Suga, Satoshi Sasaki, Keiko Asakura, Hitomi Okubo, Naoko Hirota, Akiko Notsu, Mitsuru Fukui, Masanori Nojima, Chigusa DateAbstract:We examined the effect of seasonality on the validity (ability to estimate the mean intake of a group and ranking ability) of nutrient intakes estimated with a comprehensive self-administered Diet History questionnaire (DHQ) developed for the assessment of Japanese Diets during the preceding one month, using semi-weighed Dietary records (DRs) as a reference method. This study was conducted in three areas in Japan (Osaka, Nagano, and Tottori). The study population included 92 Japanese men aged 32–76 years and 92 Japanese women aged 31–69 years (30 from Osaka, 31 from Nagano, and 31 from Tottori for each sex). A DHQ and a four-day DR were completed four times at 3-month intervals, once per season. The effect of seasonality was examined by the level of agreement among seasons using mean nutrient intake and correlation coefficients. Significant differences in estimated energy-adjusted intakes of 42 selected nutrients between the average of DRs administered 16 times throughout a year and that of the DHQ administered four times in each season (fall, winter, spring, and summer) were observed for 30, 29, 30, and 31 nutrients for men and 21, 28, 30, and 31 nutrients for women, respectively. Pearson correlation coefficients between the DRs and the DHQs for energy-adjusted intakes of the 42 nutrients showed significant inter-season differences in 11 nutrients for men and 13 nutrients for women. Particularly, correlation coefficients of fat, monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, n-6 polyunsaturated fat, α-linolenic acid, and cholesterol in spring and cryptoxanthin in summer for men, and fat, saturated fat, and monounsaturated fat in spring and summer and thiamin and iron in summer for women were markedly altered by seasonality. Mean nutrient intake estimated by the DHQ varied by season, indicating that any consideration of nutrient intake estimated by the DHQ as a yearly average intake may be problematic. In contrast, the effect of seasonality on the ranking ability of the DHQ was relatively small, and thus the use of a DHQ to rank individuals by nutrient intake is acceptable for epidemiological studies, regardless of season.

both comprehensive and brief self administered Diet History questionnaires satisfactorily rank nutrient intakes in japanese adults
Journal of Epidemiology, 2012Co-Authors: Satomi Kobayashi, Satoshi Sasaki, Kentaro Murakami, Hitomi Okubo, Naoko Hirota, Akiko Notsu, Mitsuru Fukui, Satoru Honda, Chigusa DateAbstract:Background: A comprehensive self-administered Diet History questionnaire (DHQ: 150-item semi-quantitative questionnaire) and a brief self-administered DHQ (BDHQ: 58-item fixed-portion–type questionnaire) were developed for assessing Japanese Diets. We compared the relative validity of nutrient intake derived from DHQ with that from the BDHQ, using semi-weighed 16-day Dietary records (DRs) as reference.Methods: Ninety-two Japanese women aged 31 to 69 years and 92 Japanese men aged 32 to 76 years completed a 4-nonconsecutive-day DR, a DHQ, and a BDHQ 4 times each (once per season) in 3 areas of Japan (Osaka, Nagano, and Tottori).Results: No significant differences were seen in estimates of energy-adjusted intakes of 42 selected nutrients (based on the residual method) between the 16-day DRs and the first DHQ (DHQ1) or between the DR and the first BDHQ (BDHQ1) for 18 (43%) and 14 (33%) nutrients, respectively, among women and for 4 (10%) and 21 (50%) nutrients among men. The median (interquartile range) Pearson correlation coefficients with the DR for energy-adjusted intakes of the 42 nutrients were 0.57 (0.50 to 0.64) for the DHQ1 and 0.54 (0.45 to 0.61) for the BDHQ1 in women; in men, the respective values were 0.50 (0.42 to 0.59) and 0.56 (0.41 to 0.63). Similar results were observed for the means of the 4 DHQs and BDHQs.Conclusions: The DHQ and BDHQ had satisfactory ranking ability for the energy-adjusted intakes of many nutrients among the present Japanese population, although these instruments were satisfactory in estimating mean values for only a small number of nutrients.

effect of seasonality on the estimated mean value of nutrients and ranking ability of a self administered Diet History questionnaire
Nutrition Journal, 2014Co-Authors: Hitomi Suga, Satoshi Sasaki, Keiko Asakura, Hitomi Okubo, Naoko Hirota, Akiko Notsu, Mitsuru Fukui, Masanori Nojima, Chigusa DateAbstract:We examined the effect of seasonality on the validity (ability to estimate the mean intake of a group and ranking ability) of nutrient intakes estimated with a comprehensive self-administered Diet History questionnaire (DHQ) developed for the assessment of Japanese Diets during the preceding one month, using semi-weighed Dietary records (DRs) as a reference method.

both comprehensive and brief self administered Diet History questionnaires satisfactorily rank nutrient intakes in japanese adults
Journal of Epidemiology, 2012Co-Authors: Satomi Kobayashi, Satoshi Sasaki, Kentaro Murakami, Hitomi Okubo, Naoko Hirota, Akiko Notsu, Mitsuru Fukui, Satoru Honda, Chigusa DateAbstract:Background: A comprehensive self-administered Diet History questionnaire (DHQ: 150-item semi-quantitative questionnaire) and a brief self-administered DHQ (BDHQ: 58-item fixed-portion–type questionnaire) were developed for assessing Japanese Diets. We compared the relative validity of nutrient intake derived from DHQ with that from the BDHQ, using semi-weighed 16-day Dietary records (DRs) as reference.Methods: Ninety-two Japanese women aged 31 to 69 years and 92 Japanese men aged 32 to 76 years completed a 4-nonconsecutive-day DR, a DHQ, and a BDHQ 4 times each (once per season) in 3 areas of Japan (Osaka, Nagano, and Tottori).Results: No significant differences were seen in estimates of energy-adjusted intakes of 42 selected nutrients (based on the residual method) between the 16-day DRs and the first DHQ (DHQ1) or between the DR and the first BDHQ (BDHQ1) for 18 (43%) and 14 (33%) nutrients, respectively, among women and for 4 (10%) and 21 (50%) nutrients among men. The median (interquartile range) Pearson correlation coefficients with the DR for energy-adjusted intakes of the 42 nutrients were 0.57 (0.50 to 0.64) for the DHQ1 and 0.54 (0.45 to 0.61) for the BDHQ1 in women; in men, the respective values were 0.50 (0.42 to 0.59) and 0.56 (0.41 to 0.63). Similar results were observed for the means of the 4 DHQs and BDHQs.Conclusions: The DHQ and BDHQ had satisfactory ranking ability for the energy-adjusted intakes of many nutrients among the present Japanese population, although these instruments were satisfactory in estimating mean values for only a small number of nutrients.

comparison of relative validity of food group intakes estimated by comprehensive and brief type self administered Diet History questionnaires against 16 d Dietary records in japanese adults
Public Health Nutrition, 2011Co-Authors: Satomi Kobayashi, Satoshi Sasaki, Kentaro Murakami, Hitomi Okubo, Naoko Hirota, Akiko Notsu, Mitsuru Fukui, Chigusa DateAbstract:Department of FoodScience and Nutrition, School of Human Science and Environment, University of Hyogo, Hyogo, JapanSubmitted 24 June 2010: Accepted 5 February 2011: First published online 11 April 2011AbstractObjective: To compare the relative validity of food group intakes derived from acomprehensive self-administered Diet History questionnaire (DHQ) and a brief-type DHQ (BDHQ) developed for the assessment of Japanese Diets during theprevious month using semi-weighed Dietary records (DR) as a reference method.Design: Between November 2002 and September 2003, a 4d DR (covering fournon-consecutive days), a DHQ (150-item semi-quantitative questionnaire) and aBDHQ (fifty-eight-item fixed-portion-type questionnaire) were completed fourtimes (once per season) at 3-month intervals.Setting: Three areas in Japan: Osaka, Nagano and Tottori.Subjects: Ninety-two Japanese women aged 31–69 years and ninety-two Japanesemen aged 32–76 years.Results: Median food group intakes were estimated well for approximately halfof the food groups. No statistically significant differences were noted between a16d DR and the first DHQ (DHQ1) or between the DR and the first BDHQ(BDHQ1) in fifteen (44%) and fifteen (52%) food items for women and infourteen (41%) and sixteen (55%) food items for men, respectively, indicatingthat both questionnaires estimated median values reasonably well. MedianSpearman’s correlation coefficients with the DR were 0?43 (range: 20?09 to 0?77)for DHQ1 and 0?44 (range: 0?14 to 0?82) for BDHQ1 in women, with respectivevalues of 0?44 (range: 0?08 to 0?87) and 0?48 (range: 0?22 to 0?83) in men,indicating reasonable ranking ability. Similar results were observed for meanvalues of the four DHQ and BDHQ.Conclusions: In terms of food intake estimates, both the DHQ and the BDHQshowed reasonable validity.KeywordsDiet History questionnaireFood group intakeRelative validityJapaneseThe value of human nutritional studies is largely depen-dent on the accuracy of the Dietary information used.

relative validity of Dietary patterns derived from a self administered Diet History questionnaire using factor analysis among japanese adults
Public Health Nutrition, 2010Co-Authors: Hitomi Okubo, Satoshi Sasaki, Kentaro Murakami, Naoko Hirota, Akiko Notsu, Mitsuru Fukui, Mi Kyung Kim, Chigusa DateAbstract:Objective Although Dietary pattern approaches derived from Dietary assessment questionnaires are widely used, only a few studies in Western countries have reported the validity of this approach. We examined the relative validity of Dietary patterns derived from a self-administered Diet History questionnaire (DHQ) among Japanese adults. Design The DHQ, assessing Diet during the preceding month, and 4 d Dietary records (DR) were collected in each season over one year. To derive Dietary patterns, 145 food items in the DHQ and 1259 in the DR were classified into thirty-three predefined food groups, and entered into a factor analysis. Setting Three areas in Japan; Osaka (urban), Nagano (rural inland) and Tottori (rural coastal). Subjects A total of ninety-two Japanese women and ninety-two Japanese men aged 31–76 years. Results We identified three Dietary patterns (‘healthy’, ‘Western’ and ‘Japanese traditional’) in women and two (‘healthy’ and ‘Western’) in men, which showed a relatively similar direction and magnitude of factor loadings of food groups across the first and mean of four DHQ (DHQ1 and mDHQ, respectively) and 16 d DR. The Pearson correlation coefficients between DHQ1 and 16 d DR for the healthy, Western and Japanese traditional patterns in women were 0·57, 0·36 and 0·44, and for the healthy and Western patterns in men were 0·62 and 0·56, respectively. When mDHQ was examined, the correlation coefficients improved for women (0·45–0·69). Conclusions Dietary patterns derived from the DHQ could be used for epidemiological studies as surrogates of those derived from DR.

data driven development of the meal based Diet History questionnaire for japanese adults
British Journal of Nutrition, 2021Co-Authors: Kentaro Murakami, Barbara M E Livingstone, Nana Shinozaki, Tracy A Mccaffrey, Satoshi SasakiAbstract:FFQ, the primary method of Dietary assessment in large-scale nutritional epidemiological studies, preclude an informed evaluation of the timing of Dietary intake and meal-specific Dietary intake. In this study, we developed the Meal-based Diet History Questionnaire (MDHQ), a self-administered questionnaire designed for estimating food and nutrient intakes for each meal type separately. The development was done based on a 16-d Dietary record obtained from 242 Japanese adults. The MDHQ consisted of the three different parts, with a total of 196 items. Part 1 of the MDHQ asks about consumption frequency of generic food groups (n 24) for each meal type: breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and night snack. Part 2 of the MDHQ asks about relative consumption frequency of sub-food groups within one of the generic food groups which are asked in Part 1. Combining information derived from Parts 1 and 2 enables us to increase the number of foods we can estimate efficiently but within a limited number of questions. Part 3 of the MDHQ asks about general eating behaviours, which are intended to use in a variety of ways during Dietary intake calculation. A series of calculation algorithms for food groups, energy and nutrients was also prepared. Given that the MDHQ was empirically developed based on comprehensive information on actual food consumption, this innovative tool may be promising for future epidemiological research on meal patterns and time of day of Dietary intake, or chrono-nutrition research. A rigorous evaluation of validity of the MDHQ is warranted.

relative validity of starch and sugar intake in japanese adults as estimated with comprehensive and brief self administered Diet History questionnaires
Journal of Epidemiology, 2020Co-Authors: Aya Fujiwara, Kentaro Murakami, Satoshi SasakiAbstract:Background In Japan, large-scale epidemiological studies on starch and sugar intake are scarce, mainly due to a lack of a suitable assessment tool. We examined the relative validity of two widely-used Dietary assessment questionnaires for Japanese adults, the comprehensive Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ) and the brief DHQ (BDHQ), for estimating the intake of starch and 10 types of sugars: total sugar, sucrose, maltose, lactose, trehalose, glucose, fructose, galactose, and added and free sugars. Methods A total of 92 women and 92 men completed 4-day weighed Dietary records (DRs) besides the DHQ and BDHQ in each of the four seasons. For each method, starch and sugar intake was calculated according to a recently developed food composition database on starch and sugars for Japanese food items. Results For most of the carbohydrate variables examined, the median energy-adjusted intake derived from the first DHQ and BDHQ (DHQ1 and BDHQ1, respectively) significantly differed from those derived from the 16-day DRs in both sexes. Spearman correlation coefficients between the 16-day DRs and DHQ1 were acceptable (≥0.31) for all variables (0.31-0.67), except for maltose and trehalose in women (≤0.29). For BDHQ1, the correlations were also acceptable for all variables (0.32-0.64), except for maltose (≤0.26) and galactose (≤0.06). Similar results were observed for the mean of four DHQs and BDHQs. Conclusions This study indicated a reasonable ranking ability of DHQ and BDHQ for the intake of starch and most sugars examined, despite a poor ability to estimate the intake at the both group and individual levels.

reproducibility and relative validity of the healthy eating index 2015 and nutrient rich food index 9 3 estimated by comprehensive and brief Diet History questionnaires in japanese adults
Nutrients, 2019Co-Authors: Kentaro Murakami, Barbara M E Livingstone, Aya Fujiwara, Satoshi SasakiAbstract:We examined the reproducibility and relative validity of two measures of overall Diet quality, the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) and Nutrient-Rich Food Index 9.3 (NRF9.3), as estimated by well-established self-administered Dietary assessment questionnaires for the Japanese, namely the comprehensive Diet History questionnaire (DHQ) and the brief Diet History questionnaire (BDHQ). Diet was assessed separately by two DHQs and two BDHQs at a 1-year interval and by 16-day weighed Dietary records (DRs) in 121 women and 121 men aged 31–81 years. HEI-2015 and NRF9.3 were calculated from each method. The reproducibility correlation for the two questionnaires (intraclass correlation) ranged from 0.53 (HEI-2015 from BDHQ in men) to 0.77 (NRF9.3 from BDHQ in women). The validity correlation between the first questionnaires and DR (Pearson correlation) ranged from 0.37 (NRF9.3 from BDHQ in men) to 0.61 (NRF9.3 from DHQ and BDHQ in women). Bland–Altman plots showed poor agreement between the DHQ or BDHQ and DR, as well as the presence of weak proportional bias. Overall, these data indicate reasonable reproducibility and ranking ability of the DHQ and BDHQ for assessing the HEI-2015 and NRF9.3 and support their usefulness in future epidemiological research on the overall effects of Japanese Diets on various health outcomes.

ability of self reported estimates of Dietary sodium potassium and protein to detect an association with general and abdominal obesity comparison with the estimates derived from 24 h urinary excretion
British Journal of Nutrition, 2015Co-Authors: Kentaro Murakami, Satoshi Sasaki, Barbara M E Livingstone, Kazuhiro UenishiAbstract:As under-reporting of Dietary intake, particularly by overweight and obese subjects, is common in Dietary surveys, biases inherent in the use of self-reported Dietary information may distort true Diet–obesity relationships or even create spurious ones. However, empirical evidence of this possibility is limited. The present cross-sectional study compared the relationships of 24 h urine-derived and self-reported intakes of Na, K and protein with obesity. A total of 1043 Japanese women aged 18–22 years completed a 24 h urine collection and a s elf-administered Diet History questionnaire. After adjustment for potential confounders, 24 h urine-derived Na intake was associated with a higher risk of general obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 ) and abdominal obesity (waist circumference ≥ 80 cm; both P for trend = 0·04). For 24 h urine-derived protein intake, positive associations with general and abdominal obesity were observed ( P for trend = 0·02 and 0·053, respectively). For 24 h urine-derived K intake, there was an inverse association with abdominal obesity ( P for trend = 0·01). Conversely, when self-reported Dietary information was used, only inverse associations between K intake and general and abdominal obesity were observed ( P for trend = 0·04 and 0·02, respectively), with no associations of Na or protein intake. In conclusion, we found positive associations of Na and protein intakes and inverse associations of K intake with obesity when using 24 h urinary excretion for estimating Dietary intakes. However, no association was observed based on using self-reported Dietary intakes, except for inverse association of K intake, suggesting that the ability of self-reported Dietary information using the Diet History questionnaire for investigating Diet–obesity relationships is limited.
