Dietary intake was assessed using the validated, semiquantitative Scottish Collaborative Group (SCQ) FFQ (http://www.foodfrequency.org/) consisting of 170 food items grouped into 19 sections. For each food item, participants specified their frequency of consumption over the previous 2–3 months in terms of measures/day (1, 2, 3, 4, 5+) (equivalent to a standard portion) and days/week (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days/week, more than once a month, rarely). Foods reported were converted to a daily weight using food portion sizes (24).
