The aim of this study was to develop and test the reliability and relative validity of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) specifically developed for individuals living in Sicily, southern Italy. This study was conducted on a convenient sample of 178 adult volunteers aged 18-80 years recruited in the urban population of Catania. Dietary intake estimated by 2 FFQs was compared with six 24-h recalls covering a period of 10 months. A total of 110 food items were included in the FFQ. Person's coefficients between the first FFQ and mean of the six 24-h recalls showed high correlations for coffee, tea, pasta and dairy products, alcohol, total fats and carbohydrates (in women). The test-retest analysis showed high reproducibility of the FFQ. We showed that our FFQ provided a useful estimate of both food and nutrient intake in a healthy adult population.
本研究的目的是开发并测试一种专门为居住在意大利南部西西里岛的人群设计的食物频率问卷（FFQ）的可靠性和相对有效性。本研究以在卡塔尼亚城市人口中招募的178名年龄在18至80岁之间的成年志愿者为便利样本进行。通过两份FFQ估算的膳食摄入量与涵盖10个月期间的六次24小时膳食回顾进行了比较。FFQ中共纳入了110种食物。第一份FFQ与六次24小时膳食回顾均值之间的Person系数显示，咖啡、茶、面食和乳制品、酒精、总脂肪和碳水化合物（女性）的相关性较高。重测分析显示FFQ具有较高的重现性。我们表明，我们的FFQ为健康成年人群的食物和营养素摄入量提供了有用的估计。
