DIASA diet – improving dietary assessment in individuals of South Asian origin living in Norway
Background:
Individuals of South Asian origin living in Norway have high rates of type 2 diabetes, and diet may play a role in challenging blood glucose management seen in this group. However, we have limited knowledge about the role of diet in blood glucose management in South Asians living in Norway.
Aims:
to develop valid dietary assessment methods for South Asians living in Norway, to stimulate further research into the role of diet in cardiometabolic disease and risk factors in South Asians living in Norway.
Methods:
We want to assess and compare the results obtained by a web-based food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and a 24h-recall interview (by telephone) in South Asian women that participate in the DIASA-1 study.
News from 2022:
In 2022, we have finalized all the interviews. Results are being analysed and prepared for publication.
