Using a behavioural intervention to target nutrition during pregnancy may be key in meeting recommendations for healthy eating. The aim was to assess the use of a short-term dietary intake measurement tool (3-day food intake record) to infer long-term habitual dietary intake during pregnancy (using a short-form food frequency questionnaire). A convenience sample (n=90) between 12- and 18-weeks’ gestation were recruited from a larger randomised controlled trial for cross-sectional analysis. Participants completed a 44-item food frequency questionnaire and 3-day food intake record. Using the participant food intake record, the investigator blindly completed a second frequency questionnaire. The frequency questionnaires were scored using Dietary Quality Scores (DQS) and compared. Aggregate data were evaluated using a Wilcoxon signed rank test, and individual-level data were evaluated using a Bland-Altman plot. No significant difference was observed in the scores (Z=-1.88, p=0.06), with small effect size (r=0.19). The Bland-Altman plot showed that comparing the DQS derived from the two different dietary assessments underestimated scores by a mean difference of 0.4 points (95% limits of agreement: -3.50 to 4.26). The data points were evenly spread suggesting no systematic variation for over- or underestimation of scores. Minimal difference was observed between the functionality of the two assessment instruments. However, the food intake record can be completed by pregnant individuals to estimate short-term nutrient intake, and then scored by the investigator to estimate long-term dietary quality. Combining these two instruments may best capture the most accurate representation of dietary habits over time.
