Recruitment questionnaires

The questionnaires contain common diet and lifestyle questions across each centre (core questions) and, in some centres, additional questions which reflect particular interests of individual scientists.

In addition to dietary assessment, the questionnaires asked for details on history of alcohol consumption, occupation, socioeconomic status, age at puberty and reproductive history, use of contraception and of hormonal drugs, history of previous illnesses and current physical activity.

Sample pages of the Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ), the health and lifestyle questionnaires and the 7-day Food Diary are available to view :
