  • Summary

    Over the last 10 years or so, there have been an increasing number of studies that generally agree that people who regularly consume a plant-based, Mediterranean-style diet, are less likely to get Alzheimer’s dementia than those who do not. These studies have found nearly the same results in populations from around the world including the USA, Japan, Australia, Greece, and other European countries. The contents of the diets, age of participants, and extent of benefit may differ from study to study, but overall, those participants who follow a Mediterranean-style diet or one of the variants have between 35–50% less chance of getting Alzheimer’s or, in some studies, all-cause dementia.

  • Objective

    The present study aimed to (i) evaluate the reproducibility and validity of a designed FFQ, (ii) apply the FFQ for estimating the dietary intakes of four flavonols and two flavones in female adolescents and (iii) explain their major dietary sources.

    Design

    The reproducibility between the first and second FFQ administrations (1 year interval) was estimated using the intra-class correlation coefficient. The validity of the first FFQ relative to the average of four three-day 24 h dietary recalls (24-HR) from four seasons was assessed using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Using a flavonoid content database, the individual flavonol and flavone intakes were calculated and the major food sources were estimated.

    Setting

    Middle school in Suihua area of Heilongjiang Province, northern China.

    Subjects

    Female adolescents (n 887) aged 12–18 years.

    Results

    Better reproducibility and validity were obtained in the present study. The flavonol and flavone intakes were 16·29 and 4·31 mg/d, respectively. Quercetin and kaempferol were the major contributors (26·8 % and 23·7 %, respectively) to the total intake of flavonols and flavones. The main food sources of flavonols and flavones were apples (14·1 %), followed by potatoes (7·5 %), lettuce (7·3 %) and oranges (7·3 %).

    Conclusions

    The dietary flavonol and flavone intakes among female adolescents in northern China were similar to those reported in several countries, but significant differences were observed in the food sources ascribed to the geographical location and dietary characteristics.
