| description | The 24-h recall (24HR) is a short-term dietary assessment instrument that is widely used in large-scale nutrition surveys. The number of survey days is critical in the accuracy of estimates. The multiple, repeated collection of 24HRs can yield reliable dietary intakes, whereas that is not always feasible due to staffing, equipment, financial, and temporal constraints. The NCI (National Cancer Institute) method was developed to address this limitation by using only within-person variance to calculate usual dietary intake. However, the performance of different forms of 24HRs based on the NCI method remains unclear. The aim of this study was to explore a form of 24HR based on the NCI method that can balance accuracy and survey cost. A total of 595 subjects completed 7 consecutive 24HRs in each season, for a total of 28 24HRs. The averages of the 28 collection days were defined as the reference value to compare the performance of 24HRs for two consecutive days (C2), three consecutive days (C3), two non-consecutive days (NC2), and three non-consecutive days (NC3) for estimating the dietary intakes of Chinese adults. The equivalence test was used to evaluate whether the estimates of scenarios NC2 and NC3 were equivalent. Additionally, the accuracy of a scenario of NC2 which included a weekend was compared to that of a scenario of NC2 which included two weekdays. All results of the 24HRs in each scenario were corrected by the NCI method. Bias/relative bias and mean bias/mean relative bias were used as measures of precision and accuracy, respectively. The results showed that the precision was similar among the four scenarios, while the accuracy relationship varied among the different dietary components. In general, scenario NC3 was the most accurate, followed by scenario NC2, which was close to the former. The form using non-consecutive days was more accurate than that using consecutive days, and the main factor affecting the accuracy of the 24HRs was the continuity between multiple survey days rather than the number of days. The means and major percentiles of energy, nutrients, and frequently consumed food in scenarios NC2 and NC3 were functionally identical. The accuracy of the scenario of NC2 which included a weekend was higher than that of scenario NC2, which consisted of only weekdays. The above results indicated that the adoption of two, non-consecutive 24HRs consisting of a weekend and a weekday to collect dietary data prior to correction by the NCI method, is a feasible approach to balancing survey costs and accuracy in large-scale nutrition surveys. |
