Food Frequency Questionnaires Validated in Brazil: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To map food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) validated for the Brazilian population.

Methods

Review articles and studies that did not focus on FFQ validation for Brazil or its populations were excluded. A search of articles published up to June 2025 was conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Embase, Web of Science (ISI), Scopus and Google Scholar databases.
