Assessing dietary intakes from household budget surveys: A national analysis in Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Accurate national information on dietary intakes, including heterogeneity among individuals, is critical to inform health implications and policy priorities. In low- and middle-income countries, household expenditure surveys constitute the major source of food data, but with uncertain validity for individual-level intakes.

Objective

To investigate how individualized dietary consumption estimated from household survey data compared with individual-level 24-hr dietary recalls (24hR); and to assess potential heterogeneity by method for individualizing household intakes, dietary indicator, and individual characteristics (age, sex, education, religion, household income).

Methods

We evaluated data from the 2011-2012 Bangladesh Household Integrated Survey (BIHS),
