Abstract Objective To update the Dutch Healthy Diet index, a measure of diet quality, to reflect adherence dietary guidelines 2015 and evaluate against participants’ characteristics nutrient intakes with score based on 24 h recall (24 hR) data FFQ data. Design The index (DHD15-index) consists fifteen components representing food-based 2015. Per component ranges between 0 10, resulting in total (no adherence) 150 (complete adherence). Setting Wageningen area, Netherlands, 2011–2013. Subjects...
It is generally assumed that a FFQ not suitable to estimate the absolute levels of individual energy intake. However, in epidemiological studies, reported nutrients by are often corrected for this The objective present study was assess how accurately participants report their intakes FFQ. We compared intake with actual needed maintain stable body weights during eleven controlled dietary trials. were developed capture at least 90 % Participants, 342 women and 174 men, mean BMI 22·8 ( sd 3·1)...
The objective was to develop an index based on the Dutch Guidelines for a healthy Diet of 2006 that reflects dietary quality and apply it National Food Consumption Survey (DNFCS) examine associations with micronutrient intakes. A total 749 men women, aged 19–30 years, contributed two 24-hour recalls additional questionnaires in DNFCS 2003. Healthy (DHD-index) includes ten components representing Diet. Per component score ranges between zero ten, resulting (no adherence) 100 (complete...
The World Health Organization (WHO) has formulated guidelines for a healthy diet to prevent chronic diseases and postpone death worldwide. Our objective was investigate the association between WHO guidelines, measured using Healthy Diet Indicator (HDI), all-cause mortality in elderly men women from Europe United States. We analyzed data 396,391 participants (42% women) 11 prospective cohort studies who were 60 years of age or older at enrollment (in 1988–2005). HDI scores based on 6...
Food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) aim to address the nutritional requirements at population level in order prevent diseases and promote a healthy lifestyle. Diet quality indices can be used assess compliance with these FBDG. The present study aimed investigate whether newly developed Quality Index for Adolescents (DQI-A) is good surrogate measure adherence FBDG, FBDG effectively leads better nutrient intakes biomarkers adolescents. Participants included 1804 European adolescents who were...
The use of two non-consecutive 24 h recalls using EPIC-Soft for standardised dietary monitoring in European countries has previously been proposed the Food Consumption Survey Method consortium. Whether this methodology is sufficiently valid to assess nutrient intake a comparable way, among populations with different food patterns Europe, subject study Validation objective was compare validity usual protein and K estimated from between five selected centres Europe. A total 600 adults, aged...
Abstract Generally, there is a need for short questionnaires to estimate diet quality in the Netherlands. We developed thirty-four-item FFQ – Dutch Healthy Diet (DHD-FFQ) adherence most recent guidelines healthy of 2006 using DHD-index. The objectives present study were evaluate DHD-index derived from DHD-FFQ by comparing it with index based on reference method and examine associations participant characteristics, nutrient intakes levels cardiometabolic risk factors. Data 1235 men women,...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a leading cause of mortality worldwide, especially in the elderly. Lowering number CVD deaths requires preventive strategies targeted on elderly.The objective was to generate evidence association between WHO dietary recommendations and from CVD, coronary artery (CAD), stroke elderly aged ≥60 y.We analyzed data 10 prospective cohort studies Europe United States comprising total sample 281,874 men women free chronic diseases at baseline. Components...
The differential associations of beer, wine, and spirit consumption on cardiovascular risk found in observational studies may be confounded by diet. We described compared dietary intake diet quality according to alcoholic beverage preference European elderly.From the Consortium Health Ageing: Network Cohorts Europe United States (CHANCES), seven cohorts were included, i.e. four sub-cohorts from EPIC-Elderly, SENECA Study, Zutphen Elderly Rotterdam Study. Harmonized data 29,423 elderly...
We aimed to evaluate diet quality of 8-year-old children in the Netherlands, identify sociodemographic and lifestyle correlates child quality, examine tracking from early mid-childhood.For 4733 participating a population-based cohort, we assessed dietary intake using validated food-frequency questionnaire at median age 8.1 years (interquartile range 8.0-8.2) (2011-2014). Based on guidelines, developed food-based score for consisting ten components (score 0-10): sufficient vegetables; fruit;...
Several human and animal studies have shown that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) might be associated with a decreased risk, whereas other showed n-6 PUFA may an increased risk of colorectal cancer. However, results from these are not consistent. We evaluated the associations between serum levels adenoma in endoscopy-based case-control study, conducted The Netherlands 1997 2002. included 363 cases adenomas 498 adenoma-free controls. Serum were measured cholesteryl esters. Logistic...
Abstract Long chain n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n‐3 LCPUFA) lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but mechanisms are not well understood. We used proteomics to identify human serum proteins that altered by LCPUFA. Such could pathways whereby they affect CHD. Eighty‐one healthy volunteers entered a double blind randomised trial receive 3.5 g fish oil or high oleic sunflower daily. Serum was collected before and after 6 wk intervention. analysed using 2‐DE. Proteins were...
