Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined the validity and reproducibility of the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) based on sugar intakes estimation in the in a subsample of the Japan Public Health Centre-Based Prospective (JPHC) study. Sugar intakes were calculated using the standard tables of food composition for available carbohydrates in Japan. Our study showed that sugar intakes estimated with FFQ had moderate validity and reproducibility in the JPHC study.
