Objectives

Dietary intake data

Between-country comparisons are particularly prone to error when different food composition tables are used to estimate dietary

intake. In this sense, the objective of this study is to describe our

procedures and rationale for the selection and adaptation of food

composition from a single database during pilot study of ELANS to make cross-country nutritional intake comparisons.

A standard study protocol was design to investigate nutritional intake in all countries enrolled:

Two 24-hour recalls using Multiple Pass Method

Data from the 24-HR were entered into the Nutrition Data System

for Research program (NDS-R, version 2013) after a harmonization process between local foods and NDS-R database.

Methods

Peru

Brazil

A standardized procedure involving a nutritional equivalency of local food items reported by the study subjects of each country to foods

available in NDS-R database was strictly conducted by professional nutritionists in each the country.

A standard study protocol was designed to investigate dietary intake of 9,000 subjects enrolled aged 15.0-65.0 years, stratified by geographi-

cal location (only urban areas), gender, age and socioeconomic status.

Each site-specific protocol was approved by the ethical review boards at the participating institutions.

A total of 4,730 standardizations, considering food items and recipes, were made in ELANS.

A mean of 407 food items and 185 recipes were standardized in each country.

Conclusions

Nutritional equivalency of local food items (food, beverages) to foods available in NDS-R database; concordance rate of 80-120%

Standardization at the food and nutrient levels will likely

minimize systematic and random errors in nutrient intake estimations and allow comparisons between these Latin American countries.
