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
Innovative technologies for measuring diet in
nutritional epidemiology
*Review and evaluation of innovative technologies 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 –IMRsystematic review of the literature on dietary intake nutritional tools and
methods of dietary data collection -in progress

Nutri-RecQuest data base
Web application with underling Standard Query Language (SQL) database
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;

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.

Nutri-RecQuest offers valuable and comprehensive data on micronutrient
recommendations from European and key non-European countries for bodies
responsible for setting recommendations as well as for users of recommendations
including scientists, policy makers, health professionals and dietary sumplements
and food industry.
WHO Europe will use in future the data base!
