CAPE SCORE

The CAPE Score questions were taken from the CAPE (Clifton Assessment Procedures for the Elderly) Information/orientation Sub-Scale. (Pattie and Gilleard, 1979). These questions monitor cognitive status. A score of less than 6 would imply a degree of cognitive impairment associated with mild, moderate or severe dementia. These respondents were excluded from the study because they were felt to be unable to provide reliable interview and diary information.

I’d like to start our interview by asking you a few simple questions. Don’t be alarmed if they sound rather too easy.

CAPE1 Q1. What is your name? (or full name)

0 Incorrect

1 Correct

CAPE2 Q2. How old are you?

Code as Q1 - CAPE1

CAPE3 Q3. What is your date of birth?

Code as Q1- CAPE1

CAPE4 Q4. Where are you now?

Code as Ql - CAPE1

CAPE5 Q5. What is the address of this place?

Code as Q1 - CAPE1

CAPE6 Q6. What is the name of this town/city?

Code as Ql - CAPE1

CAPE7 Q7. Total CAPE score (add score and enter here).

If less than ‘6’, interviewers should automatically move on to the diversionary section - unless the respondent only gets their date of birth wrong (data from the FHSA on this point has been erroneous on several occasions). in this case they should be allowed to continue. Please make a note of the date of birth they mention.

PHYSICAL MEASURES

WEIGHT Record weight in kg.

(use digits ie 60kg =060).

If respondent refuses code as 999.

DEMISPAN Definition: half body span is the distance measured with a metal tape (to the nearest millimetre) from the right side of the sternal notch to the root of the middle and ring finger on the left hand, with the arm stretched out horizontally to the side and the palm facing forward.

Procedure

The measurement is usually made on the left arm. Enquire whether there has been damage or injury on the left side (hand, shoulder, collar bone or arm) which caused shortening of half-span, failure to straighten arm fully or to secure the tape between the fingers. If so, make the measurements using the right arm: indicate so on the measurement form and reverse the instructions below as appropriate (all the instructions are written for left arm).

The measurement should be made with the respondent standing (preferably) or sitting upright on a chair without arms. Position the respondent with their back to a clear length of wall or door (this helps line up the arm in a horizontal position) .

Locate the edge of the right collar bone (in the sternal notch) with the arm in a horizontal position

Position the respondent - standing straight up, looking straight ahead with the shoulders relaxed, horizontally level and square with the rest of the body. Unless they are wearing flat, soft shoes or it is difficult for them to do so, ask the respondent to remove their shoes (s/he will need to do this to be weighed).

Insert the stop between the middle and ring finger of the respondent’s left hand.

Ask the respondent to extend their arm.

Support the respondent’s wrist with your right wrist.

Check that the arm is horizontal and in line with the shoulders. (If the respondent cannot fully

straighten their arm, move your supporting right hand into the respondent’s elbow and support at that point whilst holding the tape measure against the arm).

Take the tape measure in your left hand and extend the tape to the right collar bone.

Ask the subject to extend their arm as fully as possible. Check quickly that a) the arm is flat, b) the wrist remains straight.

Read the tape (to the nearest mm) and tell the respondent to relax.

Record the value immediately in the space on the questionnaire. Code as recorded - for example 76.5 cm is coded as 765 and 80.8 cm is coded as 808.

NB Care must be taken that the arm is straight and in line with the shoulders when the tape is read. If the arm swings behind the shoulders, or the wrist is extended, the measurement will be too high. If the arm swings forward, or the wrist is flexed, the measurement will be too low.

Record demispan for BMI here. If respondent refuses code as 999.

CENTIGRA Respondents fridge temperature in degrees centigrade.

REMINDER: retrieve thermometer from the bridge. Record the temperature here in Centigrade.

If the respondent refused, code as 99. If fridge is not working code as 77.

Thank you for agreeing to see me. Now we have finished with the diary I would just like to ask you

a few questions on the food you eat and buy. This should take about three quarters of an hour.

FOOD LABELLING

The first few questions are all about the labels which appear on food products.

you are deciding which food to buy? (If 0, 3, 8 or

9 skip to Q6).

0 No

1 Yes

3 Never noticed them

8 No answer

9 Not asked

Q2. AVINGR Do you ever look at food labels because you want to avoid a particular ingredient? (If 0, 8 or 9 skip to Q4).

0 No

1 Yes

8 No answer

9 Not asked

Q3. Q3AVOID What do you try to avoid? (Open question).

7 Salt

8 High calorie foods

9 Acidic foods

10 Garlic

11 Monosodium glutamate

12 Meat/meat products

13 Starch

14 Onions

15 Peppers

16 Insufficient information

17 Missing information

18 Preservatives

Q3AV2 and Q3AV3 What do you try to avoid?

Code as Q3AV1

Q4. ENOUGHF When you look at food labels while you are shopping do you ever use them to make sure you are getting enough of a particular ingredient? (If 0, 8 or 9 skip to Q6).

0 No

1 Yes

8 No answer

9 Not asked

Q5. Q5ENOUGH What do you look out for? (Open question).

Q5LF1 What do you look out for? (Coded).

1 Folic Acid

2 Ascetic acid

4 Vitamins

5 Trace elements

6 Purity (real meat, real fruit juice etc)

7 Date, sell by date, use by date

8 Contents

9 RDA

10 Fibre content

11 Other unspecified

12 Amount of main ingredient (eg meat)

13 Goodness/healthiness general

Q5LF2 and Q5LF3 What do you look out for?

Code as Q5LF1

Q6. UNDERST How easy do you think it is to understand the nutrient and ingredient information provided on food labels?

1 Very easy to understand

2 Fairly easy to understand

3 Neither easy nor difficult

4 Fairly difficult to understand

5 Almost impossible to understand

7 Not sure/don’t know

8 No answer

9 Not asked

I am now going to show you a typical food label. I would like you to look at it for a moment and then

I will ask you a few questions about some of the information on it.

Hand the respondent the mock up food label

Q7. SELLDATE Please look at the top left hand corner and the sell by date. can you tell me what the sell by date means?

(Sell by date is the date used to tell both manufacturers and shoppers when the product should be kept on the shelf until. It is not an indicator of when the food goes off and food is still safe to eat. Only code as ‘correct’ if the respondent is able to tell you that it shows when the food

should be displayed until.)

0 Incorrect answer

1 Correct answer

7 Don’t know

8 No answer

9 Not asked

Q8. USEDATE Now look across to the top right hand corner and the use by date. can you tell me what you think the use by date means?

(Use by date tells the consumer when the product should be eaten by. After this date the eating

quality of the product will decrease and for some foods such as meat, their microbiological safety is questionable. Code as ‘correct’ if the respondent mentions that it helps decide whether food is safe

to eat, need to be disposed of etc).

Code as Q7- SELLDATE

Q9. ORDER I would like you to look at the list

of ingredients. This starts with sugar and ends with citric acid. There is a reason why the ingredients

are listed in that order, can you tell me what the reason is?

(List of ingredients - the ingredients are listed by weight in descending order. In other words the

label shows that sugar is the main ingredient by weight, whilst citric acid is present in the least

quantity. Code as correct if the respondent mentions either of these possibilities).

Code as Q7- SELLDATE

Q10. SATURATE Underneath the ingredients list some of the nutrition information has been listed. Can you look at this list now please. On the sixth line the label mentions saturates. Can you tell me what you think these are?

(Saturates - a type of fat, usually of animal origin. These are the fats which are most responsible for blocking arteries and causing heart disease. Code as ‘correct’ if the respondent mentions either that this is a type of fat, or a type of fat bad for health.)

Code as Q7- SELLDATE

Q11. KCAL The first line of the label gives the energy value (point to kcal). Can you tell me what you think this means?

(kilocalories - measure of energy value of the product. Code as correct if the respondent mentions that it shows how fattening the product is/how many calories there are in it, etc.)

Code as Q7- SELLDATE

Q12. MG Also mentioned on the labels are these symbols (point to g and mg). Can you tell me what you think these are?

(Grammes and milligrammes are both units of weight.)

Code as Q7- SELLDATE

Q13. RDA At the bottom of the nutrition information it says Calcium 160 milligrammes, and then in brackets underneath 20% of RDA. Can you tell me what you think RDA means?

(Recommended Daily Allowance. This is the amount that nutritionists suggest most people should eat of a particular nutrient per day. In order to help consumers decide whether the product is a good source of a nutrient the nutrition label often shows the percentage of the RDA supplied by the product.)

Code as Q7- SELLDATE

Now take back the mock up label

The label I have just shown you has been expanded in size so that you can see it clearly. I am now interested in finding out how well you can read normal size labels.

Q14. TOOSMALL Do you have difficulty reading food labels because the print is too small or too cramped? (If 0, 7, 8 or 9 skip to Ql9).

0 No

1 Yes

7 Not applicable/don’t read labels

8 No answer

9 Not asked

Q16. GLASSES Is this corrected by glasses,

contact lenses or another sort of aid to help you

see? (If 0, 8 or 9 skip to Ql 9).

Code as Q15 - POOREYEF

Q17. WEARGLAS Do you wear (use) your spectacles (contacts, etc) when you are shopping

for food? (If 1, 8 or 9 skip to Ql9).

Code as Q15 - POOREYEF

Q18. Q18GLASS Why not? (Open question).

Q18V and Q18V1 Why not? (Coded).

1 Doesn’t need spectacles/for shopping

2 Only use to read papers/books

3 Forget

DIARY AND SHOPPING QUESTIONNAIRE

Thank you for offering to help us by filling in this diary. We are collecting information about what people in your area eat, how often, where they buy it from, how food is prepared and how much they spend.

By filling in the diary you will give us useful information that will help to improve our knowledge of what people need in terms of portion size, packaging, cost, transport to and from the shops, nutrition information etc.

Please read through the instructions for the diary carefully. If you have any problems reading or filling in the diary and would like to talk to someone please telephone Dr Sally Herne or Dr Jeanette Lilley at Queens Medical Centre on **** **** *** or ******* between 9 am and 5 pm.

Don’t forget to fill in the coupon at the end of the questionnaire to enter our prize draw.

*************************

This section is about what you usually eat. On the next few pages you will find lists of various foods and questions on how you cook and serve these foods. Please be assured that there is no right or wrong answer - we are purely interested in what you enjoy eating.

Read through each section and write down how often you think you normally eat these foods. Your diet does vary from time to time so just put down what you think is typical or average for you.

Please only give information on what you eat, not any of the other people in the household.

Answering the questions

Each section asks ‘how often do you think you eat the following foods?’ Rather than writing out a long answer we have reduced the options for your answer to some simple codes. Write the code in the space provided.

If you never have a food write N

If you rarely have a food (less than once a month) write R

If you usually have a food:

about once a month write 1M

about twice a month write 2M

about three times a month write 3M

about once a week write 1W

about twice a week write 2W

about three times a week write 3W

and so on 4W, 5W, 6W, etc...)

about once a day write ID

about twice a day write 2D

about three times a day write 3D

and so on 4D, 5D, 6D, etc...)

SECTION TWO

From the information you give us in Section One we will get a general idea of what foods the people in your area eat and how often.

In this second section we are interested in finding out what combinations of food you eat, when you eat, where and who with. On the following pages you will find a grid to fill in for four days which asks you about your meal patterns, followed by a few questions about your shopping habits.

You may choose any four days to record, but it would be helpful if you could aim for two week days and two weekend days. An example of how to fill in this diary is given overleaf. If you have any problems filling this in please contact us on the number given at the start of the diary.
