Background summary
For pan-European nutrition surveys to assess intake at an individual level, the
EFCOSUM (European Food Consumption Survey Method) consortium recommends a
computerized repeated 24-hour dietary recall method. The European Prospective
Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) research group has developed
24-hour dietary recall software (EPIC-SOFT). This computerized method provides
the opportunity to undertake representative nutrition surveys in a standardized
manner.
Study objective
To evaluate the validity of the repeated 24-hour dietary recall method using
EPIC-SOFT for assessing food and nutrient intake within countries in Europe,
and for comparisons between these countries i.e. to collect data on foods,
nutrients and biomarkers in five countries with a large variety in food
pattern.
Study design: Validation study on assessment of food consumption

Validation study on assessment of food consumption
Study burden and risks
Participating in the EFCOVAL study means completing four questionnaires, twice
being approached for 24-hour dietary recall interviews (both taking about 40
minutes) and collecting two times 24 hour urine accompanied by taking two times
three para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) tablets. Low doses of PABA, as given in
methodological studies, have rarely caused any side effects and are therefore
regarded as safe. Besides that, one 18 ml blood sample will be taken and height
and weight will be measured. In total, the subjects will visit the university
only twice, while the other *tasks* can be completed at the home of the
subject. After completion of all study procedures, the participant will
receive 20 Euros.
