Abstract
Background & Aims: To evaluate the reproducibility and relative validity of a short-form food frequency questionnaire (SF-FFQ) for intake of 11 food items and breakfast in Japanese working women.<br>Methods: The subjects were 40 female nurses. Reproducibility was evaluated by comparing the SF-FFQs (SF-FFQ1 and 2) measured twice at 5- to 7-month intervals. The relative validity of the SF-FFQs was assessed by using the mean weight (mDR, g/day) or mean frequency (mfDR, times/week) of the two 7-consecutive-day dietary records.<br>Results: The kappa statistics (K), proportions in corresponding categories, and the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (ρ) for the reproducibility were 0.16-0.75, 0.40-0.90, and 0.27-0.86. For the relative validity, the median (range) of energy-adjusted ρ between SF-FFQ2 and mDR for 11 food items was 0.36 (0.00-0.66) and 0.28 (-0.25-0.81) for shift workers. The agreement between SF-FFQ2 and mfDR in corresponding categories was 90% for both breakfast frequency and main staple food. The ρ between SF-FFQ2 and mfDR of breakfast was 0.56 and 0.50 for shift workers, and the K of main staple foods was 0.74 and 0.52 for shift workers.<br>Conclusions: This SF-FFQ has good reproducibility and relative validity for most food items regardless of work schedule.
