 Dietary intake of adolescent and adult Lifelines participants was assessed with a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) that was specifically developed for Lifelines to assess dietary risk factors for a considerable number of diseases. Dietary intake of adolescent and adult Lifelines participants was assessed with a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) that was specifically developed for Lifelines to assess dietary risk factors for a considerable number of diseases.
 Since this resulted in a long and time-consuming questionnaire, the questionnaire was divided into four parts and called the **Flower Food Frequency Questionnaire**.\\ Since this resulted in a long and time-consuming questionnaire, the questionnaire was divided into four parts and called the **Flower Food Frequency Questionnaire**.\\

 The questionnaire consists of one basic questionnaire, assessed at [[1A|baseline]]: **the heart** of the flower. It  covers energy and macronutrient intake and takes ~30 minutes to complete. The raw data from the heart FFQ were used to calculate [[FFQ sum scores|macronutrient sum scores]].\\ The questionnaire consists of one basic questionnaire, assessed at [[1A|baseline]]: **the heart** of the flower.

 The Flower FFQ covers ≥96% of the absolute nutriënt intake and ≥93% of the between-person variability of each nutriënt as assessed in the Dutch National Food Consumption Survey from 1998. The Flower FFQ covers ≥96% of the absolute nutriënt intake and ≥93% of the between-person variability of each nutriënt as assessed in the Dutch National Food Consumption Survey from 1998.
