Abstract
A 13-item questionnaire has been developed to identify groups of individuals with a high (or low) fat intake. It is intended as a rapid screening tool to identify those who may benefit from counseling or who could then be subjected to a more definitive dietary assessment. It may be either self-or interviewer-administered. A correlation of r = 0.58 was observed between grams of total fat as estimated by the 13-item screener and grams of total fat as calculated from the mean of three four-day diet records, among 101 women aged 45 years and older. By dividing the screener fat distribution at its midpoint, two groups are identified which have a percent of calories from fat, by diet records, of 41 and 35 percent. The 13-item screener does nearly as well as a four-day diet record in correctly identifying those above and below the group's midpoint in percent of calories from fat.
