Preventing Chronic Disease, 09/17/09
Plawecki KL et al. – The calcium–focused food frequency questionnaire (CFFFQ) can be used to identify postmenopausal women with inadequate calcium intakes (<800 mg/d) and to identify key sources of dietary calcium. Older black women consume less daily calcium than do older white women.
Methods- The authors studied a convenience sample of 46 black and 139 white postmenopausal women. Participants completed a multiple–pass interview for 24–hour recall of foods eaten and the 46–item CFFFQ.
- The correlation between measures for total daily calcium intake was moderately strong.
- The CFFFQ estimated greater total daily calcium intake than did the 24–hour recall.
- As daily calcium intake increased, the 24–hour recall increasingly underreported calcium compared with the CFFFQ.
- Cross–tabulation and x^2 analyses found that the CFFFQ had greater specificity for lower calcium intakes. For calcium classified by food groups, there was moderate correlation for dairy and fruits.
- The CFFFQ overestimated mean total calcium compared with the 24–hour recall by 221 mg/d, including within racial groups (195 mg/d for black women, and 229 mg/d for white women).
- Dairy was the primary calcium source for both groups (55% of intake for black women and 57% of intake for white women).
