Review of studies that have reported agreement between weighed and recalled portion estimations using a photographic atlas

Time between Bland–Altman
Study Country Sample (n) Food types (n) consumption and recall Mean difference (weight – recall estimate) 95 % limits of agreement Cohen’s κ
Huybregts et al.( 34 ) Burkina Faso 137 women for all food types 8 24 h Not applicable Not applicable Range 0·52 to 0·92
Korkalo et al.( 35 ) Mozambique 99 girls (aged 13–18 years) 25–52 recalls per food type 5 30 min Range −2 to −61 g between food types Approx. 120, −225 g for rice and stiff maize porridge Exact values not reported; only shown on plots Not applicable
Lazarte et al. ( 36 ) Bolivia 34 women 15–198 recalls per food type 10 24 h Range −13 to 4 g (median) between food types 237 kJ (56·7 kcal; mean) for all types Proportional and log limits reported 49·0, 162·6 Not reported
Steyn et al. ( 37 ) South Africa 92 adolescents n per food type not reported 11 30 s* Range −66·0 to 29·6 g between food types 2·5 kJ (0·6 kcal) for all types Not reported Only reported 2·7 % and 0·2 % fell above or below the limits Not reported
Tueni et al.( 38 ) Lebanon 50 adults 11–67 recalls per food type 9 (212 items) 24 h Range −36·8 to 17·1 g between food types Reported that they showed ‘good agreement for all dishes’ Not reported

Respondents were only shown the portion and did not consume it.

Multiple measurements per individual in these analyses mean that data assumption of non-independence of scores for Bland–Altman limits of agreement does not hold.
