目的：EFCOSUM项目的目的是开发一种方法来估计欧洲国家的急性和正常消费水平，为了进行比较，需要一种通用的基本膳食评估方法。该方法应该能够可靠地比较大人群中相关饮食指标的摄入量。设计和结果：方法的选择是基于现有的文献和参与者的专业知识。为了指导选择过程，开发了包含所有相关选择时刻、备选方案和选择食物消耗测量方法的标准的决策树。考虑到深入了解平均食物和营养素摄入量及其在明确界定的个人群体中的分布是重要的，因此决定，为了监测选定的膳食指标，应在个人一级收集食物消费数据。不同的方法(24小时回忆法、饮食记录法、食物频率问卷法、饮食史法)进行了综述。结论：24小时回忆法适用于欧洲不同种族的大量人群，调查对象和面试者的负担相对较低，具有开放性和成本效益，可被认为是EFCOSUM获得欧洲不同国家10岁及以上人群平均摄入量和分布的最佳方法。通常的摄入量应通过统计建模技术进行估计，使用两次非连续的24小时召回和一份食物清单来评估非使用者对不经常消费的食物的比例。
Objective: The aim of the EFCOSUM project was to develop a method to estimate both acute and usual consumption levels in European countries and for the sake of comparison, a common basic method for dietary assessment was needed. The method should allow a reliable comparison of the intake of relevant dietary indicators among large population groups.Design and results: The selection of methodology was based on the available literature and the expertise of the participants. To guide the selection process, decision trees containing all relevant moments of choice, alternatives and criteria for the selection of a method for food consumption measurement were developed. Considering that insight into average food and nutrient intake and their distribution in well-defined groups of individuals was important, it was decided that for the monitoring of the selected dietary indicators food consumption data should be collected at an individual level. Different methods were reviewed (24 h recall, dietary record, food frequency questionnaire, dietary history method).Conclusions: Since the 24 h recall method is applicable in large European populations of different ethnicity, has a relatively low respondent and interviewer burden, is open-ended and is cost-effective, this method can be considered as the best method for EFCOSUM to get population mean intakes and distributions for subjects aged 10 y and over in different European countries. Usual intake should be estimated by statistical modelling techniques, using two non-consecutive 24 h recalls and a food list to assess the proportion non-users for infrequently consumed foods.Sponsorship: European Commission, DG SDANCO F/3, Health Monitoring Programme.
