Article Synopsis
- - The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) framework suggests that nutrition in early life impacts later health and disease risk, with the study focusing on preconception young adults in Norway.
- - Data from 1,362 participants showed moderate knowledge of DOHaD and diet quality, revealing that improvements are needed, particularly in reducing sugary foods and increasing nutrient-rich options.
- - Findings indicated a positive correlation between DOHaD knowledge and diet quality, with observed gender differences, suggesting that future research should address factors like pregnancy intentions and health literacy.
The objective of the study was to assess the concordance and ranking ability of a non-quantitative 33-item dietary screener developed to assess the diet of young adults in Norway, 'MyFoodMonth 1.1', compared to a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Data were collected in a cross-sectional dietary survey evaluating the diets of students at the University of Agder, in southern Norway.

The aim of the present study was to develop and validate new culturally specific image-series for portion size estimation to be used in a new Norwegian version of a British web-based dietary assessment tool (myfood24). Twenty-three image-series of different foods, each containing seven portion size images, were created and validated in a group of adults ( 41, 58 % female) aged 19-44 (median 23), out of which 63 % had higher (tertiary) education.
