The aim of this study was to determine the relative validity of the HEalthy LIfe in an Urban Setting (HELIUS) food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in assessing the dietary intake of energy, nutrients, and food groups of Dutch older men and women. In 2014-2015, 88 participants of the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam aged 71.9 (SD 8.6) years completed the 238-item HELIUS FFQ and three 24-hour dietary recalls. The mean group-level bias in the intakes of energy, nutrients, and food groups between the two methods was assessed, as well as Pearson's correlation coefficients and level of agreement using quintile distribution. For the intakes of energy and macronutrients, the group-level bias was ≤5%, Pearson's correlation coefficients were moderate to good (ranging from 0.26 for total fat to 0.72 for alcohol), and agreement was moderate to high (classification in same or adjacent quintile ranging from 63% for energy, protein, and carbohydrate to 91% for alcohol). For most micronutrients and food groups, the relative validity was moderate (Pearson's correlation coefficients between 0.3 and 0.5), with the lowest correlations for β-carotene (0.08), vitamin B1 (0.19), fish (0.14), and grains (0.24). In conclusion, for energy and macronutrients, most micronutrients, and most food groups, the relative validity of the HELIUS FFQ to assess dietary intake in Dutch older adults was acceptable to good.
本研究旨在确定健康生活在城市环境（HELIUS）食物频率问卷（FFQ）在评估荷兰老年男性和女性能量、营养素和食物组膳食摄入量的相对有效性。2014-2015 年，88 名阿姆斯特丹纵向老龄化研究参与者年龄为 71.9（SD 8.6）岁，完成了 238 项 HELIUS FFQ 和 3 次 24 小时膳食回忆。评估了两种方法之间能量、营养素和食物组摄入量的平均组间偏差，以及使用五分位数分布的皮尔逊相关系数和一致性水平。对于能量和宏量营养素的摄入量，组间偏差≤5%，皮尔逊相关系数为中度至良好（范围从总脂肪的 0.26 到酒精的 0.72），并且一致性为中度至高度（分类为相同或相邻五分位数，范围从能量、蛋白质和碳水化合物的 63%到酒精的 91%）。对于大多数微量营养素和食物组，相对有效性为中等（皮尔逊相关系数在 0.3 到 0.5 之间），β-胡萝卜素（0.08）、维生素 B1（0.19）、鱼（0.14）和谷物（0.24）的相关性最低。总之，对于能量和宏量营养素、大多数微量营养素和大多数食物组，HELIUS FFQ 评估荷兰老年人膳食摄入量的相对有效性是可接受的。
