> Title: Combining biomarker and self-report dietary intake data: a
> review of the state of the art and unifying statistical concepts.
>
> By: Dr. Claire Gormley, UCD, Ireland.
>
> Abstract.
>
> Classical approaches to assessing dietary intake are associated with
> measurement error. Inan effort to address inherent measurement error
> in dietary self-report data there is increased interest in the use of
> dietary biomarkers as objective measures of intake. Furthermore,
> thereis a growing consensus of the need to combine dietary biomarker
> data with self-report data. A review of state of the art methods used
> to combine biomarker and self-report data is conducted.
>
> Two predominant methods, the calibration method and the method of
> triads, emerge as being used to combine biomarker and self-report data
> when aiming to improve estimates of dietary intake. Both methods
> crucially assume measurement error independence. To expose and
> understand the performance of these methods in a range of realistic
> settings, their underpinning statistical concepts are explored and
> unified, and thorough simulation studies conducted.
>
> Results show that violation of the methods' assumptions greatly
> influences resulting inference, but that this effect is mitigated in
> cases where the biomarker and self-report data are strongly indicative
> of the true intake. There is much scope for the further development of
> models and biomarkers in tandem to achieve the ultimate goal of
> accurately inferring true dietary intake.
