DQQ, Diet Quality Questionnaire; 24hR, 24-h recall; FP, false positive, type I error; FN, false negative, type II error. Coefficient agreement formula: ((a + d)/n) × 100, where a is the number of observations not having consumed the food group in both DQQ and 24hR, d is the number of observations having consumed the food group in both DQQ and 24hR, and n is the total number of observations.
