12d-WFR, 12-day weighed food records; CC, correlation coefficient; FFQ, Food Frequency Questionnaire; PUFA, poly-unsaturated fatty acids; NA, not applicable for calculation; SD, standard deviation.

aPercentage differences: (FFQ − 12d-WFR)/12d-WFR × 100 (%). P-values refer to paired t-test between intakes by each FFQs and those by 12d-WFR for each; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.

bSpearman’s rank correlation coefficients based on energy-adjusted values (other than energy intake and total fat in % energy) and expressed as deattenuated CC. For women, *P < 0.05 where r ≥ 0.20, and **P < 0.01 where r ≥ 0.26.

cDeattenuated CCx = observed CCx × SQRT(1 + λx/n), where λx is the ratio of within- to between-individual variance for nutrient x, and n is number of dietary records.
