Micronutrients & recovery
The Residual Method of energy adjustment is the most effective practical tool for correcting misreporting bias in micronutrient intake data derived from food records and 24-hour recalls.
When analyzing dietary data from self-reports, do not simply delete people who report low calories. Use the 'Residual Method' of energy adjustment to statistically correct the micronutrient values. This provides a more accurate picture of true intake than exclusion.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Residual method of energy adjustment seems to be a good tool for practice to decrease an influence of misreporting when interpreting results of studies based on food records and 24 hour recalls.
Why this rating
Based on the systematic review's evaluation of adjustment methods.
