Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate the Greek version of the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS). Design/methodology/approach The MEDAS was translated to the Greek language forward and backward, twice and subsequently was administered to 50 healthy adult participants living in Attica, Greece. The participants had to complete the tool twice, within a period of 15 days. Participants also completed the well-recognized Mediterranean Diet Score (MedDietScore), for comparison purposes with the tested tool. Socioeconomic and anthropometric characteristics were also assessed. Findings There was a moderate association between the Greek MEDAS (MEDAS-Gr) and the MedDietScore [(Pearson r = 0.50, p < 0.001; Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC)=0.46, p = 0.015)]. The concordance between these two questionnaires varied between the items (Intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.62 for fruit at the highest and −0.09 for alcohol consumption). The Cronbach’s a coefficient of reliability for the Greek MEDAS was good (a = 0.62). The two administrations of the MEDAS-Gr produced similar mean total scores (7.6 vs 7.9, p = 0.090), which were correlated (r = 0.71, p < 0.001; ICC = 0.85, p < 0.001) and agreed substantially [k statistic (k)=0.72, 95% CI 0.54–0.89, p < 0.001)]. Originality/value The MEDAS-Gr seems to be a valid tool for assessing adherence to the Mediterranean diet in the Greek population.
希腊版地中海饮食依从性筛查仪:开发和验证
目的本文的目的是开发和验证希腊版地中海饮食依从性筛查仪(MEDAS)。设计/方法/方法将MEDAS前后翻译成希腊语两次,随后对居住在希腊阿提卡的50名健康成年参与者进行了管理。参与者必须在15分钟内完成两次工具 天。参与者还完成了公认的地中海饮食评分(MedDietScore),用于与测试工具进行比较。还评估了社会经济和人体测量特征。结果希腊MEDAS(MEDAS Gr)和MedDietScore之间存在中度关联[(Pearson r=0.50,p<0.001;组内相关系数(ICC)=0.46,p=0.015)]。这两份问卷之间的一致性因项目而异(水果最高时组内相关系数为0.62,饮酒时组内相关性系数为-0.09)。希腊MEDAS的Cronbach’s a可靠性系数良好(a=0.62)。两次服用MEDAS Gr的平均总分相似(7.6 vs 7.9,p=0.090),两者相关(r=0.71,p<0.001;ICC=0.85,p<001),基本一致[k统计量(k)=0.72,95%CI 0.54–0.89,p<0.001]。原创性/价值MEDAS Gr似乎是评估希腊人群地中海饮食依从性的有效工具。

期刊介绍: Nutrition & Food Science* (NFS) is an international, double blind peer-reviewed journal offering accessible and comprehensive coverage of food, beverage and nutrition research. The journal draws out the practical and social applications of research, demonstrates best practice through applied research and case studies and showcases innovative or controversial practices and points of view. The journal is an invaluable resource to inform individuals, organisations and the public on modern thinking, research and attitudes to food science and nutrition. NFS welcomes empirical and applied research, viewpoint papers, conceptual and technical papers, case studies, meta-analysis studies, literature reviews and general reviews which take a scientific approach to the following topics: -Attitudes to food and nutrition -Healthy eating/ nutritional public health initiatives, policies and legislation -Clinical and community nutrition and health (including public health and multiple or complex co-morbidities) -Nutrition in different cultural and ethnic groups -Nutrition during pregnancy, lactation, childhood, and young adult years -Nutrition for adults and older people -Nutrition in the workplace -Nutrition in lower and middle income countries (incl. comparisons with higher income countries) -Food science and technology, including food processing and microbiological quality -Genetically engineered foods -Food safety / quality, including chemical, physical and microbiological analysis of how these aspects effect health or nutritional quality of foodstuffs
