Seven unique food consumption patterns identified among women in the UK Women's Cohort Study

Article Abstract:

The women in the UK Women's Cohort Study, which consists of 33,971 women aged between 35 and 69 at recruitment, generally have healthier diets and lifestyles and are better educated than would be the case among a random sample of UK women of the same age. However, their food consumption patterns are likely to be relevant to all UK women, as they are taken from internal comparisons. It was found that the health conscious and vegetarian groups were more likely to have a higher educational level and do more strenuous exercise than the other groups. Overall, nutrient intakes were quite high.

Using cross-check questions to address the problem of mis-reporting of specific food groups on Food Frequency Questionnaires

Article Abstract:

Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQs) are often use to measure food intake of large numbers of people. A study was undertaken to look at the potential mis-reporting of certain food groups from FFQ data, and to consider the effects of using a weighting factor on estimated nutrient intake. It was found that cross-check questions in FFQs could provide a further source of information on food group intake.

How could the BSE crisis affect nutrient intake? Comparison of beef and non-beef eating meat eaters from the UK Women's Cohort Study

Article Abstract:

Differences in nutrient and food intakes of meat-eating women who ate beef and those who did not were examined. Initial data from the UK Women's Cohort Study involving women aged 35-69 was assessed. Results showed that women who did not eat beef had lower protein, zinc, energy, fat, percentage of energy from body mass index and fat than beef eaters. Non-beef eaters also had higher vitamin C and fiber consumption. However, both groups of women showed no difference in terms of sugar, carbohydrate or iron intakes.
