Meat consumption predicts risk of several chronic diseases. The authors
validate the accuracy of meat consumption reported by food frequency
questionnaires and the mean of eight 24-hour recalls, using urinary
methylhistidine excretion, in 55 Black and 71 White Adventist subjects in
Los Angeles and San Diego, California, in 1994-1997. 1- Methylhistidine
excretion predicts vegetarian status in Black (p = 0.02) and in White (p =
0.005) subjects. Spearman's correlation coefficients between
1-methylhistidine and estimated meat consumption were usually between 0.4
and 0.6 for both food frequency questionnaires and 24-hour recall data.
This is despite the chance collection of dietary recalls and urines from
omnivores on meatless days.
