National Adult Nutrition Survey (NANS) methodology

Ethical Approval

Ethical approval was obtained from the University College Cork Clinical Research

Ethics Committee of the Cork Teaching Hospitals.

Sampling

The fieldwork phase was carried out between October 2008 and April 2010. Adults

aged 18-90 years (740 males, 760 females) were recruited in the Republic of Ireland.

Eligible respondents were adults aged 18 years and over who were free-living and who

were not pregnant or breast feeding.

Respondent recruitment

A sample of adults was randomly selected from a database of names and addresses held

by Data Ireland (An Post). An introductory letter and information leaflet were posted to

each person selected from the database. A researcher called to potential respondents‟

homes to introduce the survey and invite participation. If the individual agreed to

participate, a consent form was signed and the survey commenced. If the person was not

at home, the researcher called on three more occasions on different days and at different

times, before deeming them ineligible. For groups that were not highly represented in

the database, particularly 18-35 year olds, a second level of recruitment was introduced.

A second database of names and addresses was compiled through referrals from

respondents and participation was invited for those that were contactable. The final

response rate for the survey was 60%. Analysis of the demographic features in this

sample has shown it to be a representative sample of Irish adults with respect to age,

gender, social class and geographical location when compared to census data (Central

Statistics Office, 2007).

Food intake data collection

A four-day food diary was used to collect food and beverage intake data. The

researcher made three visits to the respondent during the four-day period: a training visit

to demonstrate how to keep the food diary and how to use the weighing scales; a second

visit 24-36 hours into the recording period to review the diary, check for completeness

and clarify details regarding specific food descriptors and quantities; and a final visit

one or two days after the recording period to check the last days and to collect the diary.

Respondents were asked to record detailed information regarding the amount and types

of all foods, beverages and nutritional supplements consumed over the recording period

and where applicable, the cooking methods used, brand names of the foods consumed

and details of recipes. Data were also collected on the time of each eating or drinking

occasion, the respondent‟s definition of each eating or drinking occasion (e.g. morning

snack, lunch) and the location of the preparation of the meal or snack consumed (e.g.

home, takeaway).

Food quantification and coding

A quantification protocol that had been established by the IUNA for the North/South

Ireland Food Consumption Survey (NSIFCS) (Harrington et al., 2001) was updated for

the NANS. It is summarised as follows:

(1) Weighed by respondent/manufacturer weights) - A portable food scales (Tanita,

Japan) was given to each respondent. The researcher gave detailed instructions

(including a demonstration) as to how to use the food scales during the training session.

This method was use to quantify 46% of foods and drinks consumed. A further 10% of

weights were derived from manufacturer‟s weights. To facilitate collection of such

data, researchers asked respondents to collect all packaging of food and beverages

consumed in a storage bag provided.

(2) Food Atlas - A photographic food atlas (Nelson et al., 1997) was used to quantify

16% of foods and beverages consumed.

(3) IUNA Weights - Average portion weights that had been ascertained for certain foods

by the IUNA survey team were used. This method was used to quantify 4% of foods

and beverages consumed.

(4) Food Portion Sizes - “Food Portion Sizes” (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and

Food, 1997) was used to quantify 11% of foods and beverages consumed.

(5) Household Measures - Measures such as teaspoon, tablespoon, pint etc. were used to

quantify 11% of foods and beverages consumed.

(6) Estimated - Food quantities were defined as estimated if the researcher made an

estimate of the amount likely to have been consumed based on their knowledge of the

Page 4: National Adult Nutrition Survey (NANS) methodology Ethical ... · Weight and body composition were measured in duplicate using a Tanita body composition analyzer BC-420MA (Tanita

4

respondent‟s general eating habits as observed during the recording period. This

method was used to quantify 2% of foods and beverages consumed.

Nutrient composition of foods and estimation of nutrient intake

Food intake data were analysed using WISP© (Tinuviel Software, Anglesey, UK).

WISP© uses data from McCance and Widdowson‟s The Composition of Foods, sixth

(Food Standards Agency, 2002) and fifth (Holland et al., 1995) editions plus all nine

supplemental volumes (Holland et al., 1988; Holland et al., 1989; Holland et al., 1991;

Holland et al., 1992; Holland et al., 1993; Chan et al., 1994; Chan et al., 1995; Chan et

al., 1996; Holland et al., 1996) to generate nutrient intake data. During the NANS,

modifications were made to the food composition database to include recipes of

composite dishes, nutritional supplements, generic Irish foods that were commonly

consumed and new foods on the market. All previous modifications to the food

composition database were also checked and updated from current manufacturers‟

information as necessary. The above modifications and additions comprise „The Irish

Food Composition Database‟ (Black et al., 2011).

Questionnaires

Four questionnaires were completed by the adults in the NANS. These included:

Health and Lifestyle Questionnaire: This questionnaire collected information on the

respondent‟s socio-demographics, education levels, attitudes to their own diet and

weight, sun exposure and supplement usage. Information on smoking status and

alcohol intake was also collected in this questionnaire. In the case of

Page 5: National Adult Nutrition Survey (NANS) methodology Ethical ... · Weight and body composition were measured in duplicate using a Tanita body composition analyzer BC-420MA (Tanita

5

married/cohabiting couples, the higher social class and education level was assigned to

the respondent.

Physical Activity: Respondents completed a validated physical activity questionnaire

(Epic Physical Activity Questionnaire (EPAQ2)) (Wareham et al. 2002) to assess

customary levels of physical activity. The questionnaire consisted of three sections:

activity at home, work and recreation.

Food Choice Questionnaire: This questionnaire was designed to find out information on

food choice and the factors that can influence it, food neophobia and the respondent‟s

own opinion of their food preparation skills.

Evaluation Questionnaire: The researcher administered this questionnaire at the final

visit to identify whether the respondent‟s eating habits or physical activity patterns had

been usual during the survey week. Medication usage was also recorded here.

Coded questionnaires were entered into the customised Q-Builder software package

(Tinuviel Software, Anglesey, UK). A dual data entry method was used to enter

questionnaires to ensure correct data entry.

Anthropometry

Anthropometric measurements were taken by the researcher in the respondents‟ homes.

Weight, height, waist and hip circumference and measures of body composition were

recorded. Height was measured to the nearest 0.1cm using the Leicester portable height

Page 6: National Adult Nutrition Survey (NANS) methodology Ethical ... · Weight and body composition were measured in duplicate using a Tanita body composition analyzer BC-420MA (Tanita

measure (Chasmores Ltd, UK) with the respondent‟s head positioned in the Frankfurt

Plane.

Waist circumference was measured in duplicate using a non-stretch tape measure and

taken at the naked site where possible. Waist circumference was measured at the

midpoint to the nearest 0.1cm between the iliac crest (top of hip) and the bottom of the

rib cage (10th rib). Hip circumference was measured in duplicate to the nearest 0.1cm

using a non-stretch tape measure. This measurement was taken over light clothing at the

widest part of the buttocks at the level of the greater trochanter (bony prominence of the

thigh bone).

Weight and body composition were measured in duplicate using a Tanita body

composition analyzer BC-420MA (Tanita Ltd, GB) to the nearest 0.1kg. Respondents

were weighed after having voided, wearing light clothing and without shoes.

Defining overweight and obesity in adults

Body Mass Index (BMI) was used to indirectly assess adiposity and was calculated as

weight (kg) divided by height squared (m2). The World Health Organisation (WHO)

BMI cut-off points were used to estimate levels of underweight (<18.5kg/m2), normal

weight (18.5-24.9kg/m2), overweight (25.0-29.9kg/m2) and obese (≥30 kg/m2).

Blood Pressure

Blood pressure was measured in triplicate from the right arm where possible, leaving

five minutes between each measurement. The measurement was taken with the

respondent sitting on a well-supported chair, with feet placed firmly on the floor. Prior

Page 7: National Adult Nutrition Survey (NANS) methodology Ethical ... · Weight and body composition were measured in duplicate using a Tanita body composition analyzer BC-420MA (Tanita

to the measurement, respondents were asked to sit quietly without talking or laughing

for at least five minutes. Respondents were asked to remove tight clothing from their

upper arm and to rest their arm such that the antecubital fossa (triangular cavity of the

elbow joint) was at the level of the heart, palm facing upwards. Measurements were

taken in accordance with the manufacturer‟s instructions for the OMRON M6 Comfort

blood pressure monitor, with fieldworkers having received training in taking the

measurement prior to fieldwork. Respondents were asked whether they had had

anything to eat or drink (besides water) or whether they had smoked in the 30 minutes

prior to the measurement. This information was recorded by the fieldworker.

Respondents were informed of blood pressure readings that consistently fell outside of

the normal ranges and advised to visit their health nurse or GP for another reading.

Blood and Urine Collection and Analysis

Participants were asked to provide a blood sample, fasting where possible, and a first

void morning urine sample. Seventy-six per cent of respondents (n 1138) provided a

blood sample of which 79% were fasting. A urine sample was collected from 75% of

respondents (n 1121). The samples were collected by a qualified nurse at designated

centres within the survey area or in the respondent‟s home if the respondent could not

travel.

In total, five tubes (45mls) of blood were collected from respondents and where

appropriate, inverted gently to ensure thorough mixing with anti-coagulant. Of these,

four were kept chilled and transported to the lab for further processing and storage,

while the fifth was kept at room temperature for full blood count analysis. The blood

Page 8: National Adult Nutrition Survey (NANS) methodology Ethical ... · Weight and body composition were measured in duplicate using a Tanita body composition analyzer BC-420MA (Tanita

8

tubes collected were: 3 x serum tubes (total 26ml); 2 x EDTA tubes (total 13ml); 1 x

lithium heparin tube (6ml).

A 50ml first void urine sample was also collected. Respondents were provided with a

sterile collection tube to collect the urine sample on the final survey visit. They were

also provided with an ice pack and asked to keep the sample chilled until they met with

the nurse. Samples were kept on ice during transport to the lab for further processing.

A blood collection form was completed in which the following was recorded: date and

time of blood collection, whether the respondent was fasting or not and any

irregularities during blood collection. Written consent to take a blood and urine sample

was obtained along with consent for the survey at the initial visit. Blood and urine

samples were collected for the analysis of a number of markers of nutritional status and

metabolic health. In line with good ethical practice, all samples were anonymised prior

to analysis. Full details of the analytes measured will be available shortly on

www.iuna.net. Furthermore, data collected in this project will also feed into a sister

project, the “National Nutrition Phenotype Database” (Joint Irish Nutrigenomic

Organisation (www.ucd.ie/jingo) for further analysis of markers of metabolic health.

Physical activity and accelerometer

A tri axial accelerometer (Actigraph GT1M, ActiGraph, LLC) was worn for the four

days of the survey period. It was worn on the waist and reported acceleration using a

proprietary unit – “counts”. An accelerometer diary was also used to track activities

that are poorly recorded by accelerometers such as cycling and swimming and to record

when the accelerometer was removed e.g. for sleeping/showering.

Quality control

A number of quality procedures were put in place in an attempt to minimise error and

ensure consistency throughout the collection and manipulation of food intake data.

Researchers received training that included role-play workshops prior to commencing

fieldwork, where they were trained to take a natural and friendly approach to fieldwork

and to avoid prompting foods. This was carried out in an attempt to make respondents

feel at ease and so that the most reliable data possible could be obtained. It was stressed

to respondents that they should not try to change or „improve‟ their diet during the

recording period. At the end of the recording period, respondents were asked whether

their food intake had been the same as usual, less than usual or more than usual during

the recording period and to explain why this might have been. Respondents were also

asked whether they had been on a weight reducing or weight gain diet whilst taking part

in the survey, and if there were any items consumed during the recording period which

had not yet been written down. Details on such items were then recorded by the

researcher in the food diary.

Each researcher was primarily responsible for the collection, quantification, coding and

data entry of their own food diaries in an attempt to maintain consistency, and were

provided with detailed guidelines regarding each task. WISP-DES© (the food data-

entry system) was set up to incorporate over-range checks for portion sizes, by

generating a warning if a food weight was entered as five times a typical „large‟ portion

size. Cut-off points based on basal metabolic rate were used to identify over and under-

reporting of food intake, so that this could be taken into account during certain analyses

(e.g., in estimating the prevalence of inadequate micronutrient intakes). Researchers

were also asked to rate each respondent‟s food diary as „accurate and complete‟,

Page 10: National Adult Nutrition Survey (NANS) methodology Ethical ... · Weight and body composition were measured in duplicate using a Tanita body composition analyzer BC-420MA (Tanita

10

„inaccurate and complete‟, „accurate and incomplete‟ and „inaccurate and incomplete‟

so that data quality could be considered during certain analyses.

A coding manual was developed for the questionnaires and all questionnaires were dual

entered using customised questionnaire software (Q-Builder, Tinuviel Software,

Anglesey, UK) which uses a rules based validation processes permitting answers from

the coding manual only.

Databases

The food intake database from the NANS comprises 133,050 rows of data that describe

each food and drink item consumed by the 1500 respondents at every eating occasion

throughout the four recording days.

Food Groupings

Each of the 2552 food codes (including 233 supplements) consumed during the survey

were assigned to one of 68 food groups (Appendix I) in the database and also further

aggregated into 19 food groups (Appendix II).

Data Manipulation

Data manipulation was conducted using SPSS© Version 15.0 for WindowsTM (SPSS

Inc. Chicago, IL, USA).

Statistical Analysis

Variables were described using the mean, median, standard deviation and the 5 th and

95th percentiles. Variables were tabulated for total population and split by gender and

age group.
