Per category three types of variables have been created: | Per category three types of variables have been created: | ||
* **Classification variable:** which adds up the intake of all food items that belong to the specific category | * **Classification variable:** which adds up the intake of all food items that belong to the specific category | ||
- | * **Weight percentage variable:** which indicates how much of the total food intake belongs to the specific category | + | * **Intake (nova) weight ratio variable:** which indicates the weight proportion (% grams) of a specific category in the total diet of a day |
- | * **Weight per 1000kcal variable:** which presents the specific category per 1000 kcal | + | * **Intake (nova) energy ratio variable:** which which indicates the energy ratio (grams/1000kcal) of a specific category in the total diet of a day |

- | - The current categorization doesn't specifically handle the Betrouwbaarheid of energy intake (provided in the [[ffq_sum_scores|Food Frequency Questionnaire Sum scores]]). This could be a decision for other researchers using the UPF classification data. | + | - The current categorization doesn't specifically handle the reliability of energy intake (provided in the [[ffq_sum_scores|Food Frequency Questionnaire Sum scores]]). This could be a decision for other researchers using the UPF classification data. To make this easier, the reliability variable from the [[ffq_sum_scores|FFQ sum scores]] has been added as variable. |
- According to the NOVA classification, some alcohol products should also be characterized as ultra-processed food. However, we did not do this because alcohol may have separate health effects. Therefore, we analyze alcohol intake always as a separate covariate. This is also practiced by other papers from other cohorts. | - According to the NOVA classification, some alcohol products should also be characterized as ultra-processed food.
