Summary:To identify and describe characteristics of the bias of reported energy intake of participants in the Gothenburg Osteoporosis and Obesity Determinants (GOOD) study. A validated diet history with a detailed questionnaire and an interview was used. Body fat was analysed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The ratio of energy intake (EI) to BMR was used to define under-reporters (EI:BMRor= 1.30 to or= 2.64). Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden. A total of 695 males (18-20 years).
