Abstract

Recording the resident’s dietary structure with precise data will lay a solid theoretical foundation for nutrition research and implementing a dietary intervention strategy. The traditional dietary assessment methods, such as 24 h dietary recall or food frequency questionnaires, are often cumbersome and expensive to implement, and require subjects with high compliance and good memory. Thus, the integrity and invalidation of data collected with these traditional methods are usually weakened for the inevitable issue such as information omission and recording errors. Nowadays, with the rapid development of the economy and society, those traditional methods are gradually updated with emerging methods that are more electronic and intelligent. Compared with the traditional dietary assessment method based on self-report, the emerging mobile food recorder (MFR) is often more convenient and accurate when used for dietary assessment, which can significantly improve the work efficiency of relevant researchers. The research progress of mobile-based food record technology applied to dietary assessment is reviewed in this paper. Besides, the advantages and disadvantages of the traditional and emerging methods are also analyzed systematically. Based on it, the opportunities and challenges MFR faced in relative research fields are explored accordingly, as well as the development and application prospects of the MFR. The present research is expected to provide some theoretical and data support to promote the MFR’s scientific application and innovative development in dietary assessment.
