Results in the context of what is known
In previous research, screening tools for general nutritional health and
nutrition related health factors have been developed. (26-28) For
example, Huijgen et. al. (26) have developed a simple tool to assess an
inadequate habitual diet in clinical practice, which has been
incorporated in the e-coaching program Smarter Pregnancy. (29)
Furthermore, micronutrient specific FFQs and checklists have been
developed for a number of micronutrients. (30-32) To our knowledge, this
study is the first to develop a calcium-specific screening method.
