Sažetak
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
