Resumo: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the reproducibility and relative validity and calibrate the dietary intake assessment of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) using a random sample of 195 adults aged 20 to 50 years from the Central-West Region of Brazil. The reference method used by the study was two 24-hour recalls (24hR) that provided energy-adjusted deattenuated food intake data for comparison purposes. With respect to reproducibility, the average weighted kappa was 0.43 and exact agreement was 41.5%. With regard to relative validity, correlation coefficients ranged from 0.32 (thiamin) to 0.51 (carbohydrates), with a mean of 0.41. Deattenuation and adjustment for energy intake decreased most correlation coefficients in relation to crude values. The food frequency questionnaire showed good reliability and moderate validity for most nutrients based on classification into quartiles of energy and nutrient intake. The calibrated means of the FFQ were more similar to the means estimated from the 24hR and showed lower standard deviation.

Fue estudiada una muestra aleatoria de 195 adultos del centro-oeste de Brasil, con edades entre 20 y 50 años. El método de referencia utilizado fue el recordatorio de 24 horas (R24h). En cuanto a la reproducibilidad, el kappa medio ponderado fue 0,43 y la concordancia exacta fue de un 41,5%. En relación con la validez relativa, los coeficientes de correlación variaron de 0,32 (tiamina), a 0,51 (carbohidratos), con una media de 0,41. Se observó una disminución de los coeficientes de correlación obtenidos, en cuanto a los nutrientes sin atenuación y ajustados por el consumo de energía, cuando se comparan con los coeficientes obtenidos para los valores brutos. El CFA evaluado demostró buena reproducibilidad y una validez moderada para la mayoría de los nutrientes cuando fue evaluado por la categorización por cuartiles. Las medias del CFA calibradas quedaron más cerca a las medias obtenidas por los R24h, con menores desviaciones estándar.O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a reprodutibilidade e a validade relativa de um questionário de frequência alimentar (QFA) e estimar seus fatores de calibração.

O QFA avaliado mostrou boa reprodutibilidade e validade moderada para a maioria dos nutrientes, quando avaliada pela categorização em quartis.
