Abstract

To develop a set of food groups for use in a self-administered, computer-assisted diet history interview for use in Australia by combining foods into groups so as to minimize database error in the macronutrient values for the groups. The program needs to appropriately balance the level of detail used with the load on respondents and errors associated with categorization of foods into groups.
