The professional responsibility of dietetic and nutrition educators and counselors is to provide clients and the public with accurate, understandable information and counseling concerning the relationship of diet to health and disease. Dietary guidance expressed as energy and nutrient content is clear to the nutrition professional, but it frequently is difficult for many clients to comprehend. This study was undertaken to develop a computer software program to analyze dietary data in terms of foods, food groups, and nutrients and to discuss the applications of the computerized assessment. Dietary recalls from a group of noninstitutionalized older women were used for illustrative purposes. Dietary intakes were described in terms of servings consumed of 9 major food groups and 39 major subgroups. Intake of energy and selected nutrients from each major food group was calculated. Recalls were evaluated by comparison with recommended servings from two food guides and recommended energy and nutrient allowances. The information elicited by the software package is useful for monitoring changes in food consumption patterns, assessing dietary compliance, planning, and evaluating nutrition and feeding programs.
饮食与营养教育工作者及顾问的职业责任是就饮食与健康及疾病的关系，向客户及公众提供准确、易懂的信息与咨询服务。以能量和营养成分表示的饮食指导对营养专业人员来说是清晰明了的，但对许多客户而言却常常难以理解。本研究旨在开发一个计算机软件程序，以便从食物、食物类别和营养素方面分析饮食数据，并探讨计算机化评估的应用。为说明起见，使用了一组非机构化老年女性的饮食回忆记录。饮食摄入量按照9个主要食物类别和39个主要亚类的食用份数来描述。计算了每个主要食物类别中能量和选定营养素的摄入量。通过与两份食物指南推荐的份数以及推荐的能量和营养素摄入量进行比较，对饮食回忆记录进行了评估。该软件包获取的信息有助于监测食物消费模式的变化、评估饮食依从性、规划以及评估营养与喂养计划。
