Food frequency questionnaire for Japanese athletes: validation with junior high school athletes.
Article in Physical activity and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo investigate the validity of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) developed for Japanese athletes (FFQJA) among junior high school students.
methodsSixty-four junior high school soccer players (13-15 years old) completed the FFQ and provided dietary records (DRs) for 3 nonconsecutive days (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day). Individual ranking estimates, crude Spearman's correlation coefficients, and energy-adjusted correlation coefficients were used to validate the FFQ. To evaluate the mean estimates, the differences and percentage differences between the results obtained from the DRs and FFQ were calculated. The consistency of intakes between the two methods and the validity of classification were evaluated.
resultsThe median crude correlation coefficients between the questionnaire responses and DRs were 0.483 (range: 0.350-0.708) and 0.386 (range: 0.191-0.684) for nutrients and food groups, respectively. The median energy-adjusted correlation coefficients were 0.477 (range: 0.340-0.722) and 0.384 (range: -0.112 to 0.744), respectively. The median percentage differences were -7.2 and -17.6, respectively, and the median intraclass correlation coefficients were 0.469 and 0.214, respectively. Cross-classification analysis showed that the median kappa values were 0.350 and 0.275, respectively. The misclassification rate was 3% for nutrients and 6% for food groups.
conclusionThe FFQ developed and validated for Japanese athletes was found to be valid for Japanese junior high school soccer players. Therefore, the FFQJA could be a suitable tool for ranking and categorizing individuals among Japanese junior high school athletes.
