AB  - OBJECTIVE: Cocoa has been highlighted as a food with potential benefits to human 
      health because of its polyphenol content. However, few studies show the 
      contribution of cocoa and chocolate products in polyphenol intake. The aim of 
      this work was to develop a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for evaluating the 
      intake of food products containing cocoa (C-FFQ). METHODS: A sample of 50 
      university students was recruited to complete the 90-item questionnaire, a 
      validated questionnaire (called here European Food Safety Authority [EFSA]-Q) as 
      well as a 24-hour dietary recall (24 HDR). Spearman correlation test, 
      Bland-Altman plots, and quintile classification analysis were conducted together 
      with the Wilcoxon test and descriptive statistics. RESULTS: Significant 
      correlations between the C-FFQ and the EFSA-Q for the most common cocoa/chocolate 
      products were observed (P < 0.05), as well as between data from the C-FFQ and 24 
      HDR (P < 0.05). However, a number of cocoa/chocolate products frequently consumed 
      by the participants were detected by the C-FFQ and 24 HDR which were not included 
      in the EFSA-Q. According to the C-FFQ, chocolate bars were the main source of 
      cocoa in university students, but dairy products also provided an important 
      amount of cocoa. CONCLUSION: The developed C-FFQ questionnaire can be considered 
      as a valid option for assessing the consumption frequency of 
      cocoa/chocolate-derived products, thereby allowing the evaluation of cocoa 
      polyphenol intake in further studies.
