Abstract
In epidemiological studies, the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) is the most widely used tool for rating individuals based on long-term food consumption. The aimed of this study was to validate a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) designed specifically for measuring dietary intake in Makassar's young adults. Sixty-two respondents measured Body Mass Index, age range 18–34 years completed the semi quantitative food item FFQ with two 24-hour dietary recall (24 HR). Estimates for nutrients (energy, protein, total fat, saturated fat, and dietary fiber) and fruit and vegetable servings were compared between methods using correlation coefficients and 95% limits of agreement. T-test analysis to measure the correlation between BMI and dietary intake. Sixty-two respondents, 27 male and 35 female. All nutrients and fruit and vegetable servings showed significant positive correlations (P<0.05) except protein intake. The Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire is valid to measure dietary intake in the Makassar population, except that protein intake and high-energy drinks still have a bias at the group level in this young adult population.
