Special Considerations

This questionnaire is derived from an adult version of the questionnaire that has been previously validated among mothers of the children, and modified to include foods and portion sizes appropriate for children aged 4–5 years. The adult questionnaire is included on the Nutritools website and was a modified version from a previous FFQ based on a Harvard questionnaire. The specific food items included in the food groups were representative of the Spanish Diet.
