Abstract

Older people have different eating patterns than their younger counterparts, although in most nutritional studies of older populations, food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) that were developed and validated for the general adult population are used. In this paper, we present the advantages of developing an FFQ for an older population based on a population survey. A random sample of the Negev's (Southern Israel) Jewish population [greater than or equal to] 35 y old was recruited and interviewed for their dietary intake using 24-h recalls. Foods eaten were aggregated into conceptually similar groups and entered into stepwise regression models to predict variation in nutrient intake. We interviewed 796 people age 35-64 y and 377 people [greater than or equal to] 65 y old for the study. Significantly more items were required to reach 80% between-person variability for zinc, magnesium, vitamin E and protein for the elderly compared with the younger age group. Portion sizes of most items consumed by the elderly were smaller compared with the Israeli Ministry of Health portion sizes booklet and the younger age group's intake estimates. The nutrient values assigned for each line based on a weighted mean of the intake of the elderly were different from those using the most frequently used item. The above findings highlight some of the advantages of developing an FFQ for an older population based on a population survey. Further studies are required to compare the validity of existing tools adapted for the elderly to those developed on the basis of population surveys. KEY WORDS: * food frequency questionnaire * between-person variation * elderly

Abstract

The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) is a self-report measure of psychological symptoms in clinical and non-clinical populations. However, norms for BSI are lacking for patients with chronic illness, such as Crohn's disease (CD). This study aimed to provide BSI clinical norms using a cohort of CD patients. Adult Israeli CD patients (n = 430) completed questionnaires regarding clinical, demographic and psychological aspects of disease, including BSI. Their BSI data were compared with published norms from adult Israeli population and British psychiatric outpatients. CD patients in active disease state had higher levels of mental health symptoms than those in remission. Interestingly, levels of symptomatology did not differ with respect to disease duration. No significant sex differences in BSI dimensions were found, with the exception of somatization. Being younger than 60 years and having lower economic status were associated with more severe psychological symptoms. Psychological symptom levels in CD patients were high in comparison to the Israeli general population, but low compared to British psychiatric outpatients. Results confirm the link between CD and elevated psychological symptoms. The findings highlight the need to use appropriate BSI norms when assessing clinically significant levels of psychological symptoms in non-psychiatric patients with chronic illness.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: No direct comparison of health care cost in patients with inflammatory bowel disease across the European continent exists. The aim of this study was to assess the costs of investigations and treatment for diagnostics and during the first year after diagnosis in Europe. METHODS: The EpiCom cohort is a prospective population-based inception cohort of unselected inflammatory bowel disease patients from 31 Western and Eastern European centers. Patients were followed every third month from diagnosis, and clinical data regarding treatment and investigations were collected. Costs were calculated in euros (&OV0556;) using the Danish Health Costs Register. RESULTS: One thousand three hundred sixty-seven patients were followed, 710 with ulcerative colitis, 509 with Crohn's disease, and 148 with inflammatory bowel disease unclassified. Total expenditure for the cohort was &OV0556;5,408,174 (investigations: &OV0556;2,042,990 [38%], surgery: &OV0556;1,427,648 [26%], biologicals: &OV0556;781,089 [14%], and standard treatment: &OV0556;1,156,520 [22%)]). Mean crude expenditure per patient in Western Europe (Eastern Europe) with Crohn's disease: investigations &OV0556;1803 (&OV0556;2160) (P = 0.44), surgery &OV0556;11,489 (&OV0556;13,973) (P = 0.14), standard treatment &OV0556;1027 (&OV0556;824) (P = 0.51), and biologicals &OV0556;7376 (&OV0556;8307) (P = 0.31). Mean crude expenditure per patient in Western Europe (Eastern Europe) with ulcerative colitis: investigations &OV0556;1189 (&OV0556;1518) (P < 0.01), surgery &OV0556;18,414 (&OV0556;12,395) (P = 0.18), standard treatment &OV0556;896 (&OV0556;798) (P < 0.05), and biologicals &OV0556;5681 (&OV0556;72) (P = 0.51).

Abstract

Background: The ability to determine the relationship between diet and health outcomes in children requires reproducible and validated long-term dietary assessment tools such as food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Objective: To test the reproducibility and relative validity of a FFQ for young children using 24-hour food recalls (24HRs), anthropometric measurements, and a comprehensive feeding practices questionnaire (CFPQ). Methods: Children (aged 5-6) and their mothers were recruited during one school-year (2008) from preschools. Children's anthropometric measurements were obtained. Mothers provided during a personal interview on three occasions a 110-item semiquantitative FFQ, 24HRs and CFPQ. Pearson-correlation coefficients were calculated between the results of the FFQ and 3*24HR. Validity coefficients between the FFQ and the different measurements were calculated. Scores of the 12 factors of the CFPQ were calculated and related to dietary intake. Results: Sixty-six healthy children (47% boys) were recruited. Pearson's correlations between the average of the FFQs and 3*24HRs ranged from 0.3-0.6 (P

Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To examine the associations of daily hassles with the somatic and psychological health of Crohn's disease (CD) patients. Method: A cross‐sectional study of 400 self‐selected adult CD patients was performed with completion of demographic, medical, and psychosocial questionnaires: economic status; Patient Harvey‐Bradshaw Index of disease activity; Daily Hassles Scale (DHS); Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) and Short‐Form Health Survey (SF‐36 Physical and Mental Health) quality of life measures; Brief Symptom Inventory of psychological stress with summary Global Severity Index (GSI); Family Assessment Device; and List of Threatening Life Experiences. Analyses included correlations, regressions, and Sobel test statistic. Results: The patients were aged 38.7 ± 14.1 years, 61% female and 67% working. The Patient Harvey‐Bradshaw Index was 5.52 ± 4.87. The DHS was 88.0 ± 23.2, similar in men and women, higher in smokers, and increased with greater disease activity (p < .001). The most commonly reported hassles were time, social, and work. DHS had significant negative correlations with age, disease duration, and economic status and positive correlations with GSI, SF‐36, and SIBDQ. An increased Daily Hassles score was associated with reduced SIBDQ (p < .001) and SF‐36 Mental Health (p < .001) and increased GSI (p < .001) and Patient Harvey‐Bradshaw Index (p < .001). This effect of DHS on Patient Harvey‐Bradshaw Index was mediated by GSI (Sobel t = 6.09, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Daily hassles in CD patients are shown for the first time to be associated with increased psychological stress and disease activity and reduced quality of life and lower economic status. This has psychotherapeutic implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pearson-correlation coefficients were calculated between the results of the FFQ and 3*24HR. Validity coefficients between the FFQ and the different measurements were calculated. Scores of the 12 factors of the CFPQ were calculated and related to dietary intake. Results: Sixty-six healthy children (47% boys) were recruited. Pearson's correlations between the average of the FFQs and 3*24HRs ranged from 0.3-0.6 (P<0.05). The highest correlation coefficients were 0.59 for total fat intake and 0.56 for energy. Dietary intake of energy and carbohydrates differed significantly (P=0.05, 0.001 respectively) across the three BMI z-score levels (normal-weight, overweight, obese) and the three waist circumference tertiles (0.019, 0.006 respectively). Obesogenic factors from the CFPQ correlated with consumption of empty calories like sweets, snacks, junk foods and sweet drinks. Conclusions: The modified FFQ is a relatively valid instrument to estimate mean energy intake in preschool children. The questionnaire performs reasonably well to rank children with respect to macronutrients intake as well as obesogenic food groups.
