Abstract

Dietary diversity is a qualitative and proxy indicator of food security status. Social, physical, economic and biological factors, among others, may impact positively or negatively on the dietary diversity of a population. The aim of this study was to explore the food and dietary diversity in Malava and Lurambi sub-Counties of Kakamega County during COVID-19 pandemic. A descriptive survey design was used for data collection. The sample size was 200 households. A questionnaire that was designed and developed using KoBo Collect and synchronized to Open Data Kit (ODK) server was used to collect data. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 26.0 to generate descriptive and inferential statistical data. Independent t-test statistics for mean differences was used to determine differences in Household Dietary Diversity Scores (HDDS) between Lurambi and Malava sub-Counties. The study results showed that grains and grain products and all other starchy foods recorded the highest HDDS (100%), followed by dark green leafy vegetables (90.1%) and fruits (46.7%). Foods with the lowest HDDS were meat and meat products (16.5%) and other vegetables (19.7%). Lurambi sub-County had a higher dietary diversity score during COVID-19 pandemic as compared to Malava sub-County. The HDDS scores showed that the dietary diversity for Lurambi sub-County was 3.8 and that of Malava sub-County was 3.2. The T-test results were significant at p= 0.02, Key words: Dietary diversity, COVID-19, household food access, food security, INTRODUCTION Food accessibility is one of the dimensions of food security [1]. There has been an increase in global advocacy for healthy dietary choices and embracing dietary diversity at household [...]

17. Accuracy of dietary recall using the USDA five-step multiple-pass method in men: an observational validation study

Abstract

Objective This observational validation study was conducted under controlled conditions to test the accuracy of dietary recall in normal weight, overweight, and obese men using the USDA five-step multiple-pass method for dietary recall. Design Cross-sectional analysis of actual and recalled intake of food during 1 day. Subjects/setting Forty-two men ranging in age from 21 to 65 years and in body mass index from 21 to 39 kg/[m.sup.2] who lived in the metropolitan Washington DC area were studied. Intervention The subjects selected and consumed all meals and snacks, for 1 day, from a wide variety of foods provided at a human study facility. Main outcome measures Actual and recalled energy, protein, carbohydrate, and fat intakes were determined by direct observation and by a 24-hour dietary recall, respectively. Dietary recall was determined via telephone administration of the USDA five-step multiple-pass method the following day. Statistical analyses performed Analysis of variance and covariance tested the overall accuracy of recall and the effect of body mass index on dietary recall. Bland-Altman plots were used to assess bias in recall of food intake. Results In this population of men, there were no significant differences between actual and recalled intakes of energy (3,294[+ or -]111 and 3,541[+ or -]124 kcal/day), protein (117[+ or -]5 and 126[+ or -]5 g/day), carbohydrate (414[+ or -]16 and 449[+ or -]16 g/day), or fat (136[+ or -]7 and 146[+ or -]8 g/day), respectively. Accuracy of recall was not related to body mass index in that the obese men recalled food intake as accurately as the nonobese men. The energy intake of these men was significantly correlated (r=0.57, P<.05) with their estimated energy requirements. Significant interin-dividual variation in accuracy of recall was found. Conclusions Under controlled conditions, the USDA five-step multiple-pass method can accurately assess intakes of energy, protein, carbohydrate, and fat in a population of men regardless of their body mass index. Researchers and clinical dietitians need to continue to examine factors that influence underreporting and overreporting of food intake by the multiple-pass 24-hour recall method.

Abstract

Background: Human in vivo data on dietary determinants of [alpha]-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3n-3) metabolism are scarce. Objective: We examined whether intakes of ALA or linoleic acid (LA; 18:2n-6) or their ratio influences ALA metabolism. Design: During 4 wk, 29 subjects received a control diet (7% of energy from LA, 0.4% of energy from ALA, ALA-to-LA ratio = 1:19). For the next 6 wk, a control diet, a low-LA diet (3% of energy from LA, 0.4% of energy from ALA, ratio = 1:7), or a high-ALA diet (7% of energy from LA, 1.1% of energy from ALA, ratio = 1:7) was consumed. Ten days before the end of each dietary period, [U-[sup.13]C]ALA was administered orally for 9 d. ALA oxidation was determined from breath. Conversion was estimated by using compartmental modeling of [[sup.13]C]- and [[sup.12]C]n-3 fatty acid concentrations in fasting plasma phospholipids. Results: Compared with the control group, ALA incorporation into phospholipids increased by 3.6% in the low-LA group (P = 0.012) and decreased by 8.0% in the high-ALA group (P < 0.001). In absolute amounts, it increased by 34.3 mg (P = 0.020) in the low-LA group but hardly changed in the high-ALA group. Nearly all ALA from the plasma phospholipid pool was converted into eicosapentaenoic acid. Conversion of eicosapentaenoic acid into docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid hardly changed in the 3 groups and was Conclusion: The amounts of ALA and LA in the diet, but not their ratio, determine ALA conversion.
