Measurement error in total energy intake in the United Kingdom National Diet and Nutrition Survey (2008-2015).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Measurement error in the estimation of energy intake (EI) from self-reported dietary assessment is a common phenomenon, which can lead to implications for epidemiological studies and surveys that aim to determine relationships between diet and health.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to examine measurement error in estimated EIs within the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS, 2008-2015), to determine the degree of error, if measurement error has changed over the course of data collection periods, and to identify any related associations.

Methods

Data from 770 (383 males and 387 females) participants from the UK NDNS recruited between 2008 and 2011 and 2013 and 2015 who had height and weight measurements, ≥3 of 4 diet diary days, and total energy
