Cross-cultural adaptation and reproducibility of the EPIC-Norfolk food frequency questionnaire in young people living in Croatia.
Aim: To translate and adapt the European Prospective Investigation of Cancer (EPIC)-Norfolk food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for use in Croatia, and to assess the reliability and reproducibility of the Croatian version of the EPIC-Norfolk FFQ.
Methods: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation were performed according to published recommendations. Reliability was assessed in 140 respondents (61 men; age range 8-40 years) divided into three groups: young adults, pregnant women, and children and adolescents. Reproducibility was assessed in the group of young adults (32/61 men), who completed the questionnaire on two occasions three months apart.
Results: The EPIC-Norfolk FFQ showed good reliability (Cronbach alpha=0.874). Most nutrient intakes showed good reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] between 0.7 and 0.9). Poor reproducibility was observed for alcohol (ICC=0.337), and moderate reproducibility was observed for beta-carotene (ICC=0.692) and total carbohydrates (ICC=0.698). Nutrient intakes measured by FFQ on two occasions did not significantly differ.
Conclusion: The Croatian version of the EPIC-Norfolk FFQ can be a useful tool for assessing dietary intakes in young people in Croatia and possibly in neighboring countries with similar languages and dietary habits.
期刊介绍:
Croatian Medical Journal (CMJ) is an international peer reviewed journal open to scientists from all fields of biomedicine and health related research.
Although CMJ welcomes all contributions that increase and expand on medical knowledge, the two areas are of the special interest: topics globally relevant for biomedicine and health and medicine in developing and emerging countries.
