Only data of participants who had two FFQs and a minimum of three 24-h recalls were analyzed

aPaired t test comparing DFFQ and Recalls in daily average intakes

bPercentage of subjects in the same quartile of nutrient intakes from DFFQ1 and 6-day recalls

cPercentage of subjects in the same and adjacent quartiles of nutrient intakes from DFFQ1 and 6-day recalls

dOpposite (lowest/highest) quartiles

eCalculated based on log-transformed value of average daily consumptions with adjustment for total energy intake using the residual method

fCorrection were calculated based on energy-unadjusted correlation

gFor all de-attenuated correlations, P < 0.001, except for Folate
