Patients with cancer need to maintain proper nutritional status to overcome cancer, alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy, and prevent a recurrence. As such, it is necessary to manage nutritional status. This study aimed to develop a dish-based semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to evaluate the nutritional status of patients with cancer and assess the validity of the FFQ. A total of 109 dish items were selected through contribution and variability analyses using the 2016-2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. The FFQ was validated against the average 3-day dietary records of 100 patients with cancer. Pearson correlation coefficients and quartile agreements between FFQ and 3-day dietary records were calculated for intake of energy, macronutrients, and micronutrients. Age and energy-adjusted Pearson correlation coefficients ranged from 0.20 (iron) to 0.54 (potassium). The percentage of participants who were classified into the same or adjacent quartile between the FFQ and the 3-day dietary record ranged from 68% (protein) to 81% (energy, dietary fiber). The results suggest that the FFQ is an appropriate tool for assessing nutritional status in Korean cancer patients.
癌症患者需要保持适当的营养状况，以战胜癌症、减轻化疗的副作用并预防复发。因此，有必要管理营养状况。本研究旨在开发一种基于菜肴的半定量食物频率问卷（FFQ），以评估癌症患者的营养状况，并评估 FFQ 的有效性。通过使用 2016-2018 年韩国国家健康和营养检查调查数据进行贡献和变异性分析，共选择了 109 个菜单项。FFQ 与 100 名癌症患者的平均 3 天饮食记录进行了验证。计算了 FFQ 和 3 天饮食记录之间的能量、宏量营养素和微量营养素摄入量的 Pearson 相关系数和四分位协议。年龄和能量调整后的 Pearson 相关系数范围从 0.20（铁）到 0.54（钾）。FFQ 和 3 天饮食记录之间被分类为相同或相邻四分位数的参与者比例范围从 68%（蛋白质）到 81%（能量、膳食纤维）。结果表明，FFQ 是评估韩国癌症患者营养状况的合适工具。
