Using surrogate biomarkers to improve measurement error models in nutritional epidemiology
Nutritional epidemiology relies largely on self-reported measures of dietary intake, errors in which give biased estimated diet-disease associations. Self-reported measurements come from questionnaires and food records. Unbiased biomarkers are scarce; however, surrogate biomarkers, which are correlated with intake but not unbiased, can also be useful. It is important to quantify and correct for...
متن کاملSeemingly unrelated measurement error models, with application to nutritional epidemiology.
Motivated by an important biomarker study in nutritional epidemiology, we consider the combination of the linear mixed measurement error model and the linear seemingly unrelated regression model, hence Seemingly Unrelated Measurement Error Models. In our context, we have data on protein intake and energy (caloric) intake from both a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and a biomarker, and wish t...
متن کاملBiomarkers in nutritional epidemiology.
OBJECTIVE To illustrate biomarkers of diet that can be used to validate estimates of dietary intake in the study of gene-environment interactions in complex diseases. DESIGN Prospective cohort studies, studies of biomarkers where diet is carefully controlled. SETTING Free-living individuals, volunteers in metabolic suites. SUBJECTS Male and female human volunteers. RESULTS Recent studie...
متن کاملMeasurement error: effects and remedies in nutritional epidemiology.
Nutritional epidemiology is concerned to elucidate the relationship between intakes of specific foods and nutrients, and specified health outcomes. Usually the outcome of interest is the incidence of a disease. Typically epidemiological evidence for such a relationship exists at two levels: (1) the macro level, in which each data-point refers to an aggregation of subjects for example, a country...
متن کاملRegression calibration for classical exposure measurement error in environmental epidemiology studies using multiple local surrogate exposures.
Environmental epidemiologic studies are often hierarchical in nature if they estimate individuals' personal exposures using ambient metrics. Local samples are indirect surrogate measures of true local pollutant concentrations which estimate true personal exposures. These ambient metrics include classical-type nondifferential measurement error. The authors simulated subjects' true exposures and ...
