  1. Metrological issues for food consumption data. Max FeinbergINRA. Mét@riskfeinberg@inapg.inra.fr

  2. Using nutritional measurements to study the potential link between nutrition and disease and find methods to prevent the disease. • The best the measurements, the best the decisions… Nutritional epidemiology

  4. Foods Weights pi Consumptions Consumers cij Consumption measurement

  5. 24-hour Recall (24R) • Attempt to define and quantify food intake during a specific day. • Dietary Records (DRs) • Detailed descriptions of types and amounts of foods and beverages consumed, meal by meal, over a prescribed period (3-7 days). • Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ) • Long-term diet over months or years, not just a few days. • Household Budget Survey (HBS) • Estimation of the average consumption of a population based on point estimates of food consumptions. • Total Diet Study (TDS) • Estimation of consumer exposure to contaminants based on the analysis of foods « as consumed ». • … Consumption measurements (2)

  7. Uncertainty and variability A proposal to evaluate nutritional measurement quality

  8. Metrology: field of knowledge concerned with measurement. • Metrology includes all theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, whichever the measurement uncertainty and field of application. • Measurand: quantity intended to be measured. • Uncertainty (of measurement): parameter that characterizes the dispersion of the quantity values that are being attributed to a measurand, based on the information used. International Vocabulary of Metrology

  9. ReportedValue Y True Value T + Y T + Measurandy 95% of replicates in the interval Does this interval representuncertainty? Analogy with chemical measurement

  12. ReportedValue Composed standard uncertainty True Value + Y T Expanded uncertainty U = kuc(Y) p = 95% k = 2 p = 99% k = 3 95% of the future measurements Measurand Standard and expanded uncertainty

  15. Simulated consumption systems

  16. Needs for harmonisation. • Data collection procedures. • Data evaluation. • Identification of bias. • How far are methods complementary? • A proposal:use uncertainty-variability approach to organise harmonisation. • A new discipline: “Consumetrics” ? Conclusions
