* For all correlations, p < 0.001. 1 FFQ-FQ represents the difference between intake measured by FFQ and intakes measured by FD; 2 FFQ:FD represents the percent ratio of paired FFQ and FD intake measurements; 3 Calculated based on log-transformed value of average daily consumptions; 4 Calculated based on log-transformed value of average daily consumptions with adjustment for total energy intake using the residual method; 5 Correction were calculated based on energy-adjusted correlation accounting for random within-individual error in the two 3-day FD; 6 Paired t-test comparing FFQ and FD in daily average intakes. ≠ Correction coefficient not calculated due to the very large ratio of within-person to between-person variances.
