                                According to the National Institutes of Health, food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) have been used widely since the 1990s in large-scale nutritional epidemiology studies. The traditional food frequency questionnaire is a retrospective dietary assessment tool designed to measure the long-term, habitual dietary intake of individuals over a defined period, typically the past month or year.
