Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Biologic Specimen-Based
Study of Dietary Measurement Error for Nutritional Epidemiology and
Surveillance
SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment
on proposed data collection projects, the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI) will publish periodic summaries
of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
Proposed Collection
Title: Biologic specimen-based study of dietary measurement error
for nutritional epidemiology and surveillance. Type of Information
Collection Request: New. Need and use of Information Collection: The
agency conducts and funds studies examining the relationship between
diet and chronic diseases. The study will collect, on a sample of 400
free-living men and women, 40-69 years of age, two 24-hour dietary
recalls, two food frequency questionnaires, a physical activity
questionnaire, a dietary screener questionnaire, and an opinion form.
Respondents will receive a dose of doubly labeled water and provide
spot urine samples to measure energy expenditure, will collect two 24-
hour urines to measure urinary nitrogen, and provide blood samples to
measure biochemical measures of dietary intake. The data will be used
to assess the magnitude and structure of dietary measurement error in
dietary surveillance and nutritional epidemiologic studies. Frequency
of response: One-time study. Affected public: Individuals or
households. Types of Respondents: U.S. adults 40-69 years of age. The
annual reporting burden is as follows:
