  1. ICC Intraclass correlation coefficient
  2. *Significantly different from the value of the SFFQ1, according to Wilcoxon signed rank tests
  3. aFor food groups with a proportion of non-consumers > 20%b, tertiles and quintiles classifications were not performed. Instead, participants were classified as follows: class = 1 for null consumption; class = 2 for consumption below or equal to the median value in consumers, class = 3 for consumption above the median value in consumers
  4. bThese food groups have a large number of non-consumers (>20%)
  5. The statistical tests provided p-values <0.05 for each unadjusted Spearman correlation coefficient
