Development, validity and reproducibility of a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire for the assessment of antioxidant vitamins intake in Lebanon.

The growing interest in the possible role of antioxidant vitamins in many pathologies (such as Alzheimer's disease (Mehta et al., 2017), cancer (Khurana et al., 2018), cardiovascular disease (Billingsley& Carbone, 2018) ….) make the development of methods to evaluate the intake of these vitamins necessary. Different tools exist to evaluate the dietary intakes of an individual or a population such as FFQs, 24HR and dietary journals [11]. FFQ is the most commonly used tool in epidemiological studies and large-scale surveys to assess long-term nutritional exposure and determine the usual food intakes of specific foods or nutrients [4].
