FFQ1, the first food frequency questionnaire; FFQ2, the second food frequency questionnaire; SFA, saturated fatty acids; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids; FA, fatty acids.

1)Non-significant differences in mean intakes at α = 0.05 between FFQs were noted as “*”.

2)Correlation coefficients were statistically significant at α = 0.05, unless otherwise noted as “”.
