  1. Mirjana Gurinović, Maria Glibetić, IMR, University of Belgrade Mirjana Gurinović, Maria Glibetić, IMR, University of Belgrade Mirjana Gurinović, Maria Glibetić, IMR, University of Belgrade The overview of tools for Food and Nutritional research Mirjana Gurinović, Maria Glibetić, Agnes Kadvan, IMR, University of Belgrade First Symposium-Capacity Development in Nutrition and Food Research in Central and Eastern Europe (CAPNUTRA): Balkan Food Platform - Regional Food Composition Data Base development, 21-23 January 2013, Belgrade, Serbia

  2. Definition • Nutrional Tools in food and nutrition research are valuable tools used to take you from the basics of balanced nutrition to the detailed performance benefits of carbohydrates, fat, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals.For example: dietary intake assessment, nutritional daily planner, fiber calculator, BMI index, heart rate moderator, burn meter…etc

  3. Innovativetechnologies for measuring diet in nutritional epidemiology *Review and evaluation of innovativetechnologies for measuring diet in nutritional epidemiology : Six main groups of innovative technologies were identified: • Personal Digital Assistant • Mobile-phone • Interactive computer • Web-Camera- and tape-recorder • Scan- and sensor–based technologies **EFSA project-Dietary monitoring tools for risk assessment –IMR-systematic review of the literature on dietary intake nutritional tools and methods of dietary data collection -in progress *Source: A-K Illner at al, Review and evaluation of innovativetechnologies for measuring diet in nutritional epidemiology, International Journal of Epidemiology 2012;41:1187–1203

  12. Nutritional tools • Current micronutrient recommendations for: • - 29 Micronutrients: Vitamin A, C, D, E, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pyridoxine, Cobalamin, Folic acid, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Phosphorus, Selenium, Iodine • In total, over 20,000 recommendations concerning micronutrients Free available www.eurreca.org ; www.serbianfood.info/eurreca 37 European & 8 non-Europeancountries/organizations/regions USA/Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, China, South-Korea, South East Asia and Australia/New-Zealand 12

  13. Current micronutrient recommendations for: - 37 European & 8 non-European countries/organizations/regions - 29 Micronutrients In total, over 20,000 recommendations concerning micronutrients The following measures and concepts are included: 1. Recommended intake levels: Individual Nutrient Levels (INL97,5) also know as Recommended Daily, Allowances, Population Reference Intakes and Reference Intakes, Adequate Intakes (AIs) also know as Acceptable Intake and Safe Intake, Adequate ranges also know as Acceptable Range and Safe intake range 2. Average Nutrient Requirements (ANRs)* 3. Upper limits (ULs).* * For selection of countries/organisations only: i.e. USA, Canada, the Netherlands, Nordics, Dach, EC, WHO/FAO, France, UK; Nutri-RecQuest data baseWeb application with underling Standard Query Language (SQL) database

  14. The following information about the micronutrient recommendations is available: Country (/Region/Organization) Region (Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America, World) Reference: author, title, year of publication, year of setting, web link for reference Body responsible for setting recommendations Source of origin (own report, shared reported, adopted values) Age group (lower age limit, upper age limit, age description) Population group (infants, children, adolescent, adults, elderly, pregnancy, lactation) Gender Micronutrient Micronutrient unit (e.g. mg, μg) Value micronutrient recommendation (value, or range) Additional value (for pregnancy and lactation) Special condition (free text: field containing assumptions regarding bioavailability, trimester pregnancy, activity level, etc mentioned by the authors when multiple values are set for one population group) Condition (fixed categories retrieved from free text field Special condition: e.g. bioavailability, physical activity, feeding, life stage, sunlight exposure) Database fields

  15. Type of recommendation (e.g. recommended intake level, average nutrient requirement, upper limit of safe intake) Type of Measure, concept (e.g. Population Reference Intake, Safe intake range) Standardized concepts (as terminology varies between countries, the countries/organizations own terminology was included as well as the standardized terminology proposed by King and colleagues: i.e. the propose to use the term 'INLx' rather than the 'RDA'. Choose Info from the menu for more background information on this topic. Health indicator used: for selection of reports and micronutrients only(e.g. infants/calcium: the average intake from breast milk; adults/calcium: max retention; based on bone mass and fracture incidence) Type of evidence (i.e. balance studies, randomized controlled trials etc.This data field is meant for future use. This is indicated by “-”. Remark (additional information given by authors that do not fit into the above mentioned variables). The web based tool shows the latest entered recommendations of a country/organization, in database old recommendations are archived. Database fields

  17. Nutri-RecQuest offersvaluable and comprehensive data on micronutrient recommendations from European and key non-European countriesfor bodies responsible for setting recommendations as well as for users of recommendations includingscientists, policy makers, health professionals and dietary sumplements and food industry. WHO Europe will use in future the data base! Freely available!
