Concordancia entre el peso directo de porciones de alimentos ingeridas y la estimación de pesos con ayuda de figuras geométricas y la técnica de pesos memorizados por el entrevistador, en niños de 5-9 años

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the concordance between direct weigh of food portions consumed with weight’s estimation using tridimensional geometrical figures and interviewer memorization weight’s technique. Methods a cross–sectional study including Children (21 women, 9 men), aged 5-9 years, recruited from the school Jesús Rey, Medellín-Colombia. Two home visits were realized. At the first visit a direct weigh of food consumed by children was realized, in the second one, two assessments were obtained, one for each weight’s estimation techniques. Results: Significant differences were found only for some aliments. A better concordance between direct weight and geometrical figures was found, suggesting that this technique shows a good approximation to the real weight’s portions consumed. The interviewer memorization’s weight technique showed only a small concordance with direct weight food’s technique. Conclusions: using tridimensional geometrical figures of aliments is a good technique to get the real weight’s portions of food consumed by children.
