24 h DRs: 24-h dietary recalls; FFQ: food frequency questionnaire. Original groups refer to food items shared by the qualitative and quantitative FFQ. Split groups refer to food items in the qualitative FFQ but split into subgroups in the quantitative FFQ. Added groups refer to new food items in the quantitative FFQ. The weight for kappa was defined to be 1 if the frequency levels were in the same group, 0.5 if they were in adjacent groups, and 0 if they were in extreme groups. Spearman coefficients were adjusted for age, sex, and region. * Comparisons using the Wilcoxon test were significant (p < 0.05). ǂ No participants consumed pure fruit or vegetable juice in the 24 h DRs.
