AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the validity of the Northern Sweden eighty-four-item FFQ 
      to estimate intake of fatty acids relative to 24 h diet recalls (24-HDR) and 
      fatty acids in erythrocyte membranes. DESIGN: Participants, randomly recruited 
      from the population-based Vasterbotten Intervention Project, answered the 
      eighty-four-item FFQ. During the following year each participant carried out ten 
      24-HDR. Intake of fatty acids measured by the FFQ was compared with intake by the 
      24-HDR and fatty acid levels in erythrocytes. SETTING: The county of Vasterbotten 
      in northern Sweden. SUBJECTS: Ninety-six men and ninety-nine women. RESULTS: 
      Spearman correlation coefficients (rs) between intakes of the fatty acids 14 : 0, 
      15 : 0, 16 : 0, 17 : 0, 18 : 2n-6, 18 : 3n-3, 20 : 5n-3 and 22 : 6n-3 estimated 
      by the FFQ and the 24-HDR were all significant and ranged from 0.29 (22 : 6n-3 in 
      men and women) to 0.60 (16 : 0 in men), whereas significant correlations between 
      FFQ-estimated intake and erythrocyte membrane content were only seen for milk 
      fatty acids 14 : 0, 15 : 0 and 17 : 0 (rs = 0.23-0.34) and fish fatty acids 20 : 
      5n-3 and 22 : 6n-3 (rs = 0.42-0.51). CONCLUSION: The Northern Sweden 
      eighty-four-item FFQ gives a satisfactory estimate of the intake of fish fatty 
      acids (20 : 5n-3 and 22 : 6n-3) and milk fatty acids (15 : 0 and 17 : 0), whereas 
      its validity for fatty acids 18 : 2n-6 and 18 : 3n-3, derived mainly from 
      vegetable oils, cannot be shown.
