Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Objectives: Monitoring dietary intakes is critical for assessing population diet-related health and nutritional status, providing essential data to inform public health nutrition interventions. A significant challenge in this process is the accurate estimation of food portion sizes, which often leads to gaps in dietary assessments. This study addresses this issue by evaluating the potential of integrating computer vision technology into dietary assessments to enhance accuracy of portion estimates, and ease of use for the general population.
