Abstract
Background: To evaluate the relative validity of nutrient and food group intakes estimated using the brief-type self-administered Diet History Questionnaire for Japanese preschool children aged 3–6 years (BDHQ3y).
Methods: This study included 500 children (253 boys and 247 girls) aged 3–6 years recruited from 32 prefectures in Japan. Guardians completed the BDHQ3y to report their child’s dietary intake over the previous month and then 8-day weighed dietary records (DRs) over a year (2 days per season). From the BDHQ3y and DRs, energy-adjusted intakes of 44 nutrients and 26 food groups were estimated based on the density method.
Results: Percentage differences in median intakes were within 10% for 26 nutrients (most energy-providing nutrients and several vitamins and minerals) and three food groups (cereals, fish/shellfish and milk/dairy products). The median Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients were 0.31 (interquartile range [IQR], 0.23–0.40) for nutrients and 0.32 (IQR, 0.23–0.41) for food groups. Correlations exceeded 0.40 for 11 nutrients (eg, added sugar, dietary fiber and calcium) and nine food groups (eg, vegetables, fruits and milk/dairy products). Bland-Altman plots showed wide limits of agreement, with overestimation of intakes of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fruits, and milk/dairy products, as well as underestimation of intake of vegetables at higher intake levels. Similar findings were made when boys and girls were analyzed separately.
Conclusion: The BDHQ3y has the potential to monitor population-level intakes of a range of nutrients. However, its utility for ranking individuals and assessing individual-level intake remains limited, requiring cautious interpretation and application.
