The credibility of estimates of energy intake from a Diet History (DH) but cut off limits for the multiple of energy intake and basal metabolic rate and by physical activity levels was studied in 369 males and 440 females from three representative cohorts of free-living individuals from the gerontological and geriatric population studies. Findings indicated that energy intake was underreported with the DH method especially in overweight individuals.
