aAll correlation coefficients were statistically significant (P = <.001-.046), except for crude total, saturated and monounsaturated fat for both questionnaires (P=.06-.84).

bAdjustments for energy were made using the residual method [18].

cDeattenuated values were obtained using the formulas suggested by Beaton et al [20] and Liu et al [21]. Confidence intervals were produced using the method suggested by Willett and Rosner [22].

dConfidence intervals were obtained using the bootstrap method [23].
