Does degree of obesity influence the validity of reported energy and protein intake? Results from the SOS dietary questionnaire
Article Abstract:
The Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) dietary questionnaire is able to distinguish between subjects with low and high intakes of energy and protein, according to research undertaken among a small group of overweight and obese people. Previous research has validated the SOS dietary questionnaire in both obese and nonobese subjects, and it is now also possible to rank a group of only overweight people with regard to dietary intake. This research gives further support for the usefulness of the SOS dietary questionnaire.

Validity and reproducibility of a self-administered dietary questionnaire in obese and non-obese subjects
Article Abstract:
Self-administered dietary questionnaires can be a useful way to obtain information on obese individuals, and may be more accurate than food records. The questionnaire was compared against four-day food records, energy expenditure and nitrogen excretion levels for a group of obese and non-obese men and women. Energy intake is much more accurately reported by the questionnaire. Most of the discrepancy can be explained by the combination of high intake and weight loss among the obese during the reporting interval.

Swedish obese subjects (SOS): an obesity intervention study with a nutirtional perspective
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to assess the dietary habits of Swedish obese subjects (SOS) using a dietary assessment method which aimed to describe usual intake patterns, could be self-administered and applicable to both obese and non-obese individuals. The SOS demonstrated higher intakes of energy-percent fat, more frequent consumption of light meals and snacks and prevalent night eating. The SOS method was proven to be more accurate because it appeared to be less prone to under-reporting.
