About this study

Official title: Validity and Reproducibility of A Self-administered Web-based 24-hour Dietary Assessment Tool Among Danish Adults Against Objective Measures

A cross-sectional study with repeated measurements among healthy Danish adults to assess the validity and reproducibility of a self-administered 7-day web-based dietary assessment tool, myfood24® tested against objective biomarkers.

Read the detailed description

Healthy volunteers (age 35-70 yrs; BMI 22-32) will be recruited for the study. Informed consent will be obtained and participants will complete a self-administered web-based 7-day 24-hour dietary recall tool (myfood24®).Validity of this dietary registration tool will be assessed by comparing the estimated intake of selected nutrients (protein, energy) and selected food groups (fruit and vegetables, whole grain, coffee, alcoholic beverages) against objective biomarkers obtained from a 24-hour urine sample, through a measurement of resting energy metabolic rate, and from a fasting blood sample, respectively. Reproducibility will be assessed by comparison of the results from two self-administered web-based 7-day 24-hour dietary recalls obtained 4 weeks (± 1 weeks) apart.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Validation of protein intake

    Agreement between mean protein intake per day assessed by the self-administered 7-day web-based dietary assessment tool (myfood24) and nitrogen excretion in a 24-hr urine sample (urea corrected for creatine).

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Validation of energy intake

    Agreement between mean energy intake per day assessed by the self-administered 7-day web-based dietary assessment tool (myfood24) and resting metabolic rate (measured by ventilated hood).

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Validation of vegetable and fruit intake

    Agreement between mean intake of vegetable and fruit per day assessed by the self-administered 7-day web-based dietary assessment tool (myfood24) and concentration of folate in a fasting blood sample.

    Measured: 7 days

  3. Validation of whole grain intake

    Agreement between intake of whole grain per day assessed by the self-administered 7-day web-based dietary assessment tool (myfood24) and excretion of alkylresorcinols in a fasting blood sample.

    Measured: 7 days

  4. Validation of alcohol intake

    Agreement between mean alcohol intake pr day assessed by the self-administered 7-day web-based dietary assessment tool (myfood24) and excretion of ethanol and ethyl conjugates in a 24-hr urine sample.

    Measured: 7 days

  5. Validation of coffee intake

    Agreement between mean coffee intake per day assessed by the self-administered 7-day web-based dietary assessment tool (myfood24) and excretion of trigonelline and cyclo(isoleucylprolyl) in a 24-hr urine sample.

    Measured: 7 days

  6. Reproducibility of dietary registration

    Agreement between two dietary intake measurements assessed by the self-administered 7-day web-based dietary assessment tool (myfood24) obtained 4 (± 1 week) apart.

    Measured: Two times 4 weeks (+/- 1 week) apart

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Validation Study, run by Inge Tetens at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Validation of protein intake (time frame: 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Oct 2023.
