AB Background: More alternatives are needed for recording people’s normal diet in different populations, especially adults or theelderly, as part of the investigation into the effects of nutrition on health.Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the estimated values of energy intake, macro- and micronutrient, and alcoholconsumption gathered using the EVIDENT II smartphone app against the data estimated with a food frequency questionnaire(FFQ) in an adult population aged 18 to 70 years.Methods: We included 362 individuals (mean age 52 years, SD 12; 214/362, 59.1% women) who were part of the EVIDENTII study. The participants registered their food intake using the EVIDENT app during a period of 3 months and through an FFQ.Both methods estimate the average nutritional composition, including energy intake, macro- and micronutrients, and alcohol.Through the app, the values of the first week of food recording, the first month, and the entire 3-month period were estimated.The FFQ gathers data regarding the food intake of the year before the moment of interview.Results: The intraclass correlation for the estimation of energy intake with the FFQ and the app shows significant results, withthe highest values returned when analyzing the app’s data for the full 3-month period (.304, 95% CI 0.144-0.434; P<.001). For this period, the correlation coefficient for energy intake is .233 (P<.001). The highest value corresponds to alcohol consumptionand the lowest to the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (r=.676 and r=.155; P<.001), respectively. The estimation of dailyintake of energy, macronutrients, and alcohol presents higher values in the FFQ compared with the EVIDENT app data. Consideringthe values recorded during the 3-month period, the FFQ for energy intake estimation (Kcal) was higher than that of the app (adifference of 408.7, 95% CI 322.7-494.8; P<.001). The same is true for the other macronutrients, with the exception g/day ofsaturated fatty acids (.4, 95% CI −1.2 to 2.0; P=.62).Conclusions: The EVIDENT app is significantly correlated to FFQ in the estimation of energy intake, macro- and micronutrients,and alcohol consumption. This correlation increases with longer app recording periods. The EVIDENT app can be a goodalternative for recording food intake in the context of longitudinal or intervention studies.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02016014; http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02016014 (Archived by WebCiteat http://www.webcitation.org/760i8EL8Q).
