Assessing daily energy intake in adult women: validity of a food-recognition mobile application compared to doubly labelled water.

Accurate dietary assessment is crucial for nutrition and health research. Traditional methods, such as food records, food frequency questionnaires, and 24-hour dietary recalls (24HR), have limitations, such as the need for trained interviewers, time-consuming procedures, and inaccuracies in estimations. Novel technologies, such as image-based dietary assessment apps, have been developed to overcome these limitations.

Clinical characteristics and risk factors of preventable hospital readmissions within 30 days.

Validity Coefficient of Repeated Measurements of Urinary Marker of Sugar Intake Is Comparable to Urinary Nitrogen as Marker of Protein Intake in Free-living Subjects.

Background: Studies do not show consistent relationships between self-reported intake of sugar and outcome of disease. To overcome the drawbacks of self-reported intake methods, we investigated whether there is an agreement in ranking of individuals between their self-reported sugar intake and urinary sucrose and fructose.

Methods: We used data of 198 Dutch adults (106 women) from the DUPLO study.
