Sažetak
Short questionnaires are increasingly used tools for quickly assessing dietary quality. In this study, a new questionnaire called “diet analysis” was validated and modified. The questionnaire consisting of 18 questions divided into 3 categories (completion time: 3-5 minutes). The objective was to compare the relative validity of this questionnaire with the Healthy Eating Index mHEI-2015, based on a 7-day food diary completed by 46 participants (aged 19-66 years). Distribution of participants across five categories of diet quality were shown in mHEI-2015 scoring (mHEI) and “diet analysis” with proposed new scoring (DAn) while in the “diet analysis” (DA) participants were distributed across four categories of diet quality. The Bland-Altman plots demonstrated that the data were mostly uniformly distributed, in both analyses with old and new proposed scoring. Most participants (69.5% and 71.74%) had score differences within one standard deviation, indicating low variability among them. The results suggest agreement between DA and mHEI and DAn in assessing the dietary habits of most participants. Assessment of food intake of participants scoring 0, 1 or 2 points shows participants self‐evaluated their intake properly. Proposed modifications to the scoring of the DA questionnaire are based on American dietary guidelines, the findings of this study and HEI-2015. It is suggested the final category of the questionnaire „relationship with food„ is excluded from scoring individual’s diet but can be used for strategizing client care. The development of this tool, along with its demonstrated alignment with established indices such as mHEI-2015, underscores its potential to significantly streamline dietary assessments while maintaining accuracy and reliability. „Diet analysis“ represents a valuable contribution to the field, addressing the need for accessible and user-friendly tools in dietary assessment and clinical practice.
