* The data in this study were collected between 2014 and 2015 in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The title of this study is Reliability of Repeated Measures of Nutrient Intake by Diet Records in Residents in the Western Region of Japan. a Analysis was done using 1571 diet records; each of the 130 participants provided 12 diet records and one submitted 11 records. b Adjustment by use of the residual model method. c Saturated fatty acid. d Monounsaturated fatty acid. e Polyunsaturated fatty acid. f Retinol equivalent. g Niacin equivalent.
