| Popis: | Summary In the study, we compare two methods used to assess the effects of nourishment on the bone status. Statistical analysis demonstrated a moderate conformity of both methods. Short Food Frequency Questionnaires can be used as short medical screening tool for calcium intake among women over 55 years of life. Introduction Osteoporosis is a civilisation disease, the development of which is, among others, controlled and affected by diet. The factors which promote the health of bones include calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, phosphorus, magnesium, and protein. A number of nutritional epidemiology methods can be applied to assess the effects of nourishment on the bone status, e.g. Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) in its full or short (sFFQ) version or 3-day food record (3DFR). Both methods are known and widely used tools. Methods In the reported study, we attempted to compare and assess the sFFQ and 3DFR tools. Both methods were employed to examine 156 women, the majority of whom presented with an overweight-indicating BMI. An analysis of sFFQ data brought an observation that most of the studied patients (33.3%) consumed milk once a day. Results Based on 3DFR and sFFQ, we compared the measured volumes of consumed calcium which were 557.8 mg/day and 880.7 mg/day, respectively. The Cohen’s kappa calculator was used for a diagnostic evaluation of both tools; the kappa index was 0.5047, demonstrating a moderate conformity of both methods. In addition, sensitivity and specificity indices were calculated, revealing the values of 97% and 12%, respectively. Conclusions sFFQ can be used as a short medical screening. It is suggested to use both the 3DFR, conducted by the patient, and sFFQ, as a complementary method. It is necessary to continue this type of studies and to standardise the methods of nutritional status assessment with regard to selected groups. |
