24-hour Dietary Recall: a tool for clinical and epidemiological practice

Abstract

Dietary evaluation is a very valuable tool both clinically and population. There are different types of diet collection instruments that can be used and adapted according to the needs of your application. 24-hour dietary recall is a questionnaire tool that offers complete and detailed nutritional estimation. Although it may seem like a simple method, it requires time and food databases according to the target population. In recent years, self-administered recalls have been designed and used through image-assisted programs. In Mexico, there is not a designed tool for its population, which would improve the work of nutrition professionals.
