This study developed and validated a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to assess intake of polyphenol-rich foods in pregnant women in Brazil. 120 pregnant women participated in nutritional interviews on two occasions and provided urine samples. The FFQ included 52 foods and was compared to 24-hour recalls, 3-day food diaries, and urinary polyphenol levels. Analysis showed high reproducibility between the two FFQ administrations. Moderate to high correlations were found between the dietary assessment methods. A low but significant correlation was observed between the FFQ and urinary polyphenol levels. The study concluded that the FFQ is a valid tool for quantifying intake of total polyphenols in pregnant women.
