Validity of SQ-FFQ with FR 24 hour for measuring macro nutrient and total flavonoid dietary intake in reproductive age women with obesity

Background: Obesity has become a global epidemic with threefold increase in cases since 1975. Dietary restriction that contains high calories, fat and also dietary interventions natural bioactive foods such as flavonoids can prevent obesity. Assessment of intake for regulation use the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) 24-hour Recall (FR) method Purposes: This study aimed to determine average macronutrients total using SQ-FFQ FR 24 Hr methods women childbearing age (WUS) obesity knew differences correlations between methods. Methods: cross-sectional design was carried out from May June 2021 Kendari City. Samples were obtained through purposive sampling technique many 30 WUS aged 18-49 years body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2. Data collected interviews obtain information on macronutrient questionnaire instruments. Anthropometric data performed assess nutritional status. The analyzed SPSS program different tests correlation tests. Results: mean (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates) higher than method. energy, carbohydrates, significantly (p<0.001). Fat not two (p=0,267). correlated by (p<0.05) coefficient (r) energy = 0.538, protein 0.556, 0.395, carbohydrates 0.665, 0.723. Conclusion: We conclude is valid tool measure obese city Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia.
