Inaccuracies in self-reported intake identified by comparison with the doubly labelled water method
Abstract
To test the accuracy of self-reported energy intake, reported intake was compared with measured energy expenditure. Results from nine studies were reviewed in which intake data were obtained by recall or weighed record for at least 7 days. Expenditure was measured for 7 days or more by the doubly labelled water method. Individual differences between reported intake and expenditure were large (range +25 to −76%). Group mean differences were smaller. Lean, nonathletic groups living in industrialized countries demonstrated the smallest mean difference between self-reported energy intakes and expenditure (0 to −20%). Obese populations demonstrated the largest mean differences (−35 and −50%), but women living in the Gambia and elite athletes also demonstrated large mean differences. Most of the difference appears to be due to underreporting, but some subjects lost weight during the reporting period indicating that some of the difference was due to under-eating. Because the greatest bias was observed in obese subjects, current methods for self-reported energy intake are not recommended for use in obesity research.Key words: dietary intake, doubly labelled water, nutritional assessment.

“First, we cannot determine with certainty what proportion of the weekend weight increase was attributable to higher dietary intake or lower physical activity relative to weekdays, as the accuracy of self-reported dietary intake is variable between individuals (14-16), and the accelerometers may not be sensitive enough to detect small day-to-day differences in physical activity (17,18).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
