Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is
not required to respond to, an information collection that has been
extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless

a cohort of approximately 482 free-living men and women, 43 to 72 years
of age, who have participated in the 1999 Biologic Specimen-Based Study
of Dietary Measurement Error for Nutritional Epidemiology and
Surveillance. Participants will complete a food frequency
questionnaire, two 4-day food intake records, one 7-day food intake
checklist, a physical activity questionnaire, and a body weight
measurement. The data will be used to assess the magnitude and
structure of dietary measurement error in dietary assessment
instruments for dietary surveillance and nutritional epidemiologic
studies.
