Frequent food questionnaires (FFQ) are a simple way to obtain information on the foods individuals consume by asking them questions about typical amounts of food consumed in a day or week or month. A more accurate picture is obtained by obtaining a detailed food diary (DR) for several days, randomly chosen over a certain time period. The data obtained from a frequent food questionnaire can be compared with the food diary to assess the validity of the questionnaire. The correlation between alcohol consumption from the food questionnaire and diary was r = 0.89 based on seven individuals. Based on the seven individuals for whom data is available, which statement is INCORRECT?DR

Because r > 0, the amount that is truly consumed is always larger than what is stated on the FFQ. Typical consumption as stated on a FFQ is positively associated with what is actually consumed. All of the answer options are correct. The FFQ is a reasonable tool to obtain information on the amount of alcohol consumed by individuals.Explanation / Answer
The statement "Because r > 0, the amount that is truly consumed is always larger than what is stated on the FFQ.".
Positive correlation between two variables shows that as one variable increases second also increases.
