To: 1) characterize diet in Inuvialuit; 2) determine the foods and nutrients to be targeted for a nutritional intervention program; and 3) develop a Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (QFFQ) to evaluate the program and monitor nutrition transition for Inuvialuit in the Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada.
Twenty-four-hour dietary recalls were collected among 101 Inuvialuit aged 19 years and over in two communities in the NWT. All foods reported in the recall were tabulated for inclusion in the QFFQ.
Forty-eight men and 53 women (mean age 49 and 45 yrs, respectively) completed the recalls. Mean energy intake was 2,352 kcal and 1,739 kcal for men and women, respectively. Mean daily intakes of many nutrients including dietary fibre, calcium, and vitamins A, C and E, and total folate were much lower than recommended. The most frequently reported foods were non-nutrient-dense store-bought foods. Most traditional foods (TF) were reported one time by one person. The top two contributors to energy intake, 'sugar added to tea and coffee' and 'sweetened juices and drinks', were targeted by the intervention program. A 145-item QFFQ was developed including 41 TF and 8 categories of consumption frequency.
This study has provided dietary intake data previously unavailable for Inuvialuit and highlighted nutrients and foods to be targeted for the intervention program. The QFFQ is up-to-date, culturally appropriate, and currently being used to evaluate the intervention program, Healthy Foods North, which aims to reduce dietary- and lifestyle-related risk factors for chronic disease in Inuvialuit.
在西北地区的两个社区中，对 101 名年龄在 19 岁及以上的因纽特人进行了 24 小时膳食回忆。回忆中报告的所有食物都被列入 QFFQ。
48 名男性和 53 名女性（平均年龄分别为 49 岁和 45 岁）完成了回忆。男性和女性的平均能量摄入量分别为 2352 千卡和 1739 千卡。膳食纤维、钙和维生素 A、C 和 E 以及总叶酸等许多营养素的日常摄入量均远低于推荐量。报告频率最高的食物是无营养密度的商店购买食品。大多数传统食品（TF）仅由一个人报告一次。能量摄入量的前两个主要贡献者，“茶和咖啡中添加的糖”和“加糖果汁和饮料”，是干预计划的目标。开发了一个包含 41 种 TF 和 8 种消费频率类别的 145 项 QFFQ。
本研究提供了以前因纽特人无法获得的饮食摄入数据，并强调了干预计划的目标营养素和食物。QFFQ 是最新的、文化适宜的，目前正在用于评估旨在减少因纽特人饮食和生活方式相关慢性病风险因素的干预计划，即“健康食品北”。
