From a question
In children and adolescents under 18 years, what measures of nutrition (dietary intake, diet quality, the home food environment), physical activity, and obesity or malnutrition (such as BMI and other anthropometric indices) have been developed or tested for validity, reliability or feasibility, and how do these measures compare with one another? Include studies from any setting, so that measures that could be used in primary care are not missed.

Objective and notes from the draft
To identify measures of nutrition (dietary intake, diet quality, home food environment), physical activity, and obesity or malnutrition (BMI and other anthropometric indices) in children and adolescents under 18 that have been developed or tested for validity, reliability or feasibility in any setting, and to compare these measures with one another.
- The measurement-property concept is required because the review is defined by validity, reliability and feasibility testing.
- Feasibility terms will also retrieve pilot and feasibility trials of obesity or nutrition interventions; these will need to be screened out unless the measure itself was evaluated.
- Population, domain and measurement terms are searched in title and abstract rather than title only, to favour sensitivity, since measurement studies often name the population and properties only in the abstract.
- Malnutrition is not exploded to keep out micronutrient deficiency diseases (e.g., iron or vitamin D deficiency); add them if biomarker measures are in scope.
- Physical fitness and motor competence measures were left out as they are not named in the question.
- No separate instrument concept (questionnaire, tool, instrument) was added; one could be ANDed if the yield is too large.
- Primary care was not made a concept because the question asks for studies from any setting.
