对体力活动和饮食摄入量的准确评估对于评估体力活动、饮食摄入量和健康结果之间的关系至关重要。然而，衡量妇女，特别是少数族裔妇女的体力活动和饮食摄入量，在性别、种族和社会背景方面提出了独特的挑战。与文化无关或对不同种族妇女的经历、传统或信仰不敏感的措施可能会导致数据不可靠或无法解释。可视化方法显示了阐明概念的希望，这些概念对于完善评估不同种族群体的饮食摄入量和体力活动的既定措施非常重要。拉美裔妇女是一个很少被研究的亚群，她们经历着与饮食和身体活动行为相关的长期健康风险，是这次讨论的焦点群体，讨论了视觉方法发展文化和背景相关的有效结果评估方法的潜力。
The accurate assessment of physical activity and dietary intake is essential for assessing the relationships between physical activity, dietary intake, and health outcomes. However, the measurement of physical activity and dietary intake among women, particularly minority women, poses unique challenges related to gender, ethnicity, and social context. Measures that are not culturally relevant or sensitive to the experiences, traditions, or beliefs of ethnically diverse women might result in data that are unreliable, or which cannot be interpreted. Visual methods show promise for elucidating concepts that are important to refine established measures for assessing dietary intake and physical activity in diverse ethnic groups. Hispanic women, a largely understudied subgroup that experiences long-term health risks associated with dietary and physical activity behaviors, serves as the focal group for this discussion of the potential for visual methods to develop culturally and contextually relevant and valid approaches to outcome assessment.
