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
