Background/Objectives: Food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) are widely used in large epidemiological studies to assess diet and elucidate its impacts on health. However, they must be validated the target population before use. Methods: We assessed relative validity, reproducibility, usability of Swiss eFFQ, a web-based, 83-item food questionnaire, using convenience sample 177 adults (53.1% females, aged 18–75 years) from German- French-speaking regions Switzerland. The participants completed...
Although intermittent calorie restriction (ICR) has become popular as an alternative weight loss strategy to continuous (CCR), there is insufficient evidence on diet quality during ICR and its feasibility over longer time periods. Thus, we compared dietary composition adherence between CCR in a follow-up analysis of randomized trial. A total 98 participants with overweight or obesity [BMI (kg/m2) 25-39.9, 35-65 years, 49% females] were randomly assigned ICR, operationalized "5:2 diet"...
Dietary assessment is a major challenge in epidemiological research and associated with high time financial burden. Automated food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) have the potential to rapidly collect dietary intake data large studies while reducing human error risk during processing. We developed semiquantitative, multilingual, electronic FFQ for real-time Swiss adult population, called “Swiss eFFQ”. The iterative development process involved stages of content identification, construction,...
Population monitoring of lifestyle behaviours that are crucial as risk and protective factors for major chronic diseases is vital the identification priority areas public health. In this study, we aimed to investigate prevalence adherence World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute (WCRF/AICR) cancer prevention recommendations in Switzerland, overall by selected sociodemographic characteristics. Data from population-based, cross-sectional survey menuCH were used. We constructed a score...
