25
Cons to observation
Requires lots of time and energy (expensive), ethical approval difficult to obtain
26
What are accelerometers
objective (measures physical activity and sleep and can be worn in many locations of the body [wrist, hip, thigh...])
27
Pros to accelerometers
no human bias, records physical activity under free-living conditions, tests a large sample uniformly, measures sleep
28
What are the cons of accelerometers
expensive, various processing decisions to be made, remembering to wear it
29
What is indirect calorimetry
objective measure (measure energy expenditure under controlled settings, measures volume of oxygen used and carbon dioxide produced)
30
Pros of indirect calorimetry
highly accurate and reliable, measures physical activity levels
31
Cons of indirect calorimetry
expensive, requires technician, can only be done for short durations
32
Important considerations when choosing a way to measure physical activity
age, sex, cost, what you are trying to capture, research question
33
What type of study is the GFHS
longitudinal intervention-based study that seeks to promote healthy habits in families with children
34
What is the recruitment criteria for the GFHS
children between 18 months- 5 years old and lives in guelph with no plan of moving
35
What is the intervention group in the GFHS
Four home visits from a RD over a 6-month period, received bi-weekly emails and mailed incentives
36
What is the research question for the GFHS
what are the changes in quantity, timing, and quality of sleep in children in the GFHS over the course of a year
37
What is the hypothesis in the GFHS
sleep quality will decrease, timing will be later at night, quality will increase for children over the course of a year
38
Participants in GFHS
78 total, 39 males and 39 females, 29 toddlers, 49 preschoolers, 78.2% of population is white
39
What are the findings in the GFHS
there is an overall improvement in sleep quality, quantity and timing over the course of ~ 1 year
40
what are some methods for measuring dietary intake?
self-reported (subjective) and biomarkers (objective)
41
What are the self-reported methods
food records, 24-hour dietary recalls, food frequency questionnaires (FFQs), Screeners
42
What is a food record
can be referred to as a food diary, open ended record of all foods and beverages consumed throughout the day, reported in real time, captures short-term diet
43
What things would you ask for a food record
type of food and drink, portion size, eating ocations
44
Food records data utility
provide insight into behaviours such as: meal patterns, snacking habits, contextual factors..... They also capture the total amount of each specific food and beverage consumed....... Data can be translated into: nutrient intakes, different food groups
45
Strengths of Food Records
Captures real time information, easy and inexpensive to collect
46
Limitations to Food Records
can change eating behaviours, error estimating portion sizes, expensive and time consuming, misreporting, too long
47
What is 24- hour recalls
Reports food and drink from the previous day, captures comprehensive information of items consumed, captures current short-term diet
48
24- hour recalls data utility
provides contextual information such as: time, location, activity......Detailed information on foods and beverages consumed on a given day...... Data can be translated into nutrient intake and different food groups
49
Strengths of 24- hour recalls
inexpensive to implement, comprehensive, convenient, will not change individuals behaviour if recalls are unannounced
50
Limitations of 24- hour recall
Time commitment, relies on memory, misreporting, not feasible for certain populations (low income, no internet, non-english/ french speakers
51
What are FFQs
Participants report food and beverages consumed over a period of time
52
What do FFQs measure
frequency and portion
53
FFQ Data Utility
total diet and nutrient intakes are possible but difficult, frequency of intake
54
FFQ Strengths
captures long-term intakes, doesn't impact one's dietary behaviours
55
Limitations to FFQs
Relies on leng-term memory, may not cover all foods for total diet, doesn't provide contextual information
56
What are screeners?
Similar to FFQs but focus on a limited number of foods and beverages in the past month or year
57
Screeners Data Utility
Can only examine particular aspects of diet but not dietary intake, nutrient intakes and food groups amount possible but difficult
58
Strengths of FFQs
good for food items that are not widespread through different food sources and mixed dishes, less time consuming, inexpensive to implement, doesn't impact behaviour
59
Limitations of FFQs
can't estimate total diet, relies on long-term memory, doesn't give contextual information, difficult to compare due to variations, the use of mental math
60
How do you pick a measure?
What is your research question? What do you need to measure? What is your target population? What is your budget? What are some logistical considerations of your study?
61
What are imaged-base dietary assessments (IBDAs)
Uses food photography recording as the primary dietary record to assess food type and portion size
62
Strengths of IBDAs
minimize recall bias, rapid and easy collection of food intake data, no mental calculations required
63
Limitations of IBDAs
Reduced accessibility, inconvenient , lack of large-scale validation studies in different population
