Relative validity and reproducibility of a short semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire for Chinese athletes. by Qian Xu, Yudan Chu, Huajun Tian, Guoqiang Ma, Jun Qiu, Qiuping Zhang

“…The aim of this study was to assess the validity of a short semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) through comparison with 3-day weighed food records (3DWFRs) and corresponding serum biomarkers from a cohort of 102 professional athletes, while also evaluating its reproducibility. The relative validity was assessed using Spearman correlation coefficients, cross-quintiles classification, weighted kappa, and Bland-Altman analysis, while reproducibility was evaluated using the Spearman correlation coefficients and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between two FFQs. …”
