Values represent means ± SDs or percentages, n = 567.

2

Mean difference between screening and baseline questionnaires was 2.7 ± 0.9 wk.

3

Multiple linear regression between screening and baseline FFQs adjusted for country, time of FFQ completion, age, sex, and total energy at screening.

4

Spearman correlation coefficient between screening and baseline FFQs. All results were significant to P < 0.001.
