Objective.
To assess the repeatability of the validated Flinders Calcium Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQCA) for estimating dietary calcium intake in a sample of community dwelling older Australians.
Methods.
A test-retest repeatability study involving 100 subjects (≥65 years) living independently in metropolitan Adelaide, Australia.
Estimates of daily calcium intake from the first (FFQCA1) and repeated administration (FFQCA2) were calculated from two versions (35-item and 15-item) of the FFQCA.
The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the repeatability.
Results.
Moderate and comparable ICC values (r=0.5, r=0.6) were found across the two versions of the FFQCA.
Conclusion.
Both FFQCA versions demonstrated moderate repeatability, supporting the results of previous studies.
