ADOS-Ca®
Diagnostic Questionnaire for Assessing Calcium Intake
The semi-quantitative questionnaire includes a list of 11 dairy food items, with a closed cafeteria of responses regarding the frequency and amount of items consumed expressed in-home measures, it refers to the habitual consumption of dairy food items in the last 6 months.
ADOS-Ca is an advanced tool that allows you to assess the frequency (times/person/day) and amount (g/person/day) of dairy food items consumed and the amount of calcium from dairy food items (mg/person/day) and daily diet (mg/person/day).
The second part of ADOS-Ca contains questions about current and past dietary habits, lifestyle, and other factors considered to be risk factors for osteoporosis.
ADOS-Ca was developed as part of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education project No. 3 P06T03922 entitled "Nutritional determinants of calcium deficiency in the population of Polish youth" (project manager: prof. Lidia Wądołowska).
