Development and Validation of a Food Frequency Questionnaire to Assess Fermented Food Consumption in Adults

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2026.
The fermented food intake questionnaire (FFIQ), developed to assess habitual intake in adults aged 18–60 years, was validated against six 24‐h dietary recalls. The FFIQ showed reasonable validity and repeatability for total fermented food intake as well as for most individual foods and food categories.
