Development, validation and reproducibility of a food frequency questionnaire to measure flavonoid intake in older Australian adults
ConclusionsThe developed FFQ appears suitable for satisfactorily ranking individuals according to total flavonoid intake. The FFQ shows limitations for estimating absolute total flavonoid intake and intake of flavonoid subclasses in comparison to a 4‐day FR in terms of overestimating intake. Refinement and further validation of this tool may be required. (Source: Nutrition and Dietetics)

Accuracy and confidence of allied health assistants administering the subjective global assessment on inpatients in a rural setting: a preliminary feasibility study
ConclusionsTrained AHAs completed the SGA with similar accuracy to dietitians. Using AHAs may help facilitate timely nutrition assessment in rural health services when a dietitian is not physically present. Further investigation is required to determine the benefits of incorporating this extended role into rural and remote health‐care services. (Source: Nutrition and Dietetics)

Dietetics students ’ construction of competence through assessment and placement experiences
ConclusionsThere is a need to work towards a shared understanding of dietetic entry‐level competence in the profession. ‘Work‐based’ learning experiences may need to be modified to ensure students meet current competency standards. Practitioners involved in student supervision need to acknowledge the influential role they have in the development of the future workforce. (Source: Nutrition and Dietetics)

Comparison of three methods for measuring height in rehabilitation inpatients and the impact on body mass index classification: An open prospective study
ConclusionsEstimated current height is a simple and practical alternative if standing height is unable to be obtained when performing a nutrition assessment. Demi‐span estimated height should be used with caution when calculating BMI to assess nutritional status, particularly in the elderly. (Source: Nutrition and Dietetics)
