Objective:
To evaluate a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) used in large, long-term epidemiologic studies compared to other dietary assessment tools and markers of risk for cardiovascular disease and cancer, and to determine variability of measurements over time.

Approach:
The food frequency questionnaire will be administered to over 500 individuals who have participated in a dietary intake, cardiovascular disease and cancer health assessment research study. A subset of the cohort will be reevaluated after at least one year to determine variability in long-term estimates of intake.
