A useful and simple tool to evaluate and compare the intake of total dietary polyphenols in different populations.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Polyphenols are antioxidant compounds with an impact on different health factors. Thus, it is important to have precise tools to estimate the intake of polyphenols. This study focuses on the development of an intuitive tool to estimating the intake of dietary total polyphenols.

Design

The tool was developed in a spreadsheet to improve accessibility and use. It is divided into six different meals for each of the 7 d with a similar format to 24-h diet recalls. The total polyphenol values of 302 foods were included and the possibility of own values.

Setting

Framework of the European project Stance4Health, Granada, Spain.

Participants

This tool was tested on 90 participants in different stages of life (girls, women and pregnant women). Ages ranged from 10
