Objective To design a semi quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQFFQ) that covers comprehensive food and nutrient intake for both urban and rural populations in Chongqing. Methods The dietary data were collected with 3 day weighed food records(3 day WFR) in urban and rural areas of Chongqing. We calculated the intake of 35 nutrients according to Standard Food Composition Tables for China. For each nutrient estimated by percentage contribution analysis (CA) and multiple regression analysis (MRA), foods with up to a 90% contribution or a 0.90 cumulative R 2 were selected as items for SQFFQs. The food items of the combined SQFFQ were selected from all items listed in either urban or rural SQFFQs. Results No significant difference in the mean intake of energy, protein and carbohydrate was found between the urban and rural residents. The latter consumed more fat than their urban counterparts. We selected 119 food items for the combined SQFFQ, including 22 specific items for the urban SQFFQ, 6 for the rural, 78 for both and 13 additional items. The combined SQFFQ covered 33 nutrients with up to a 90% contribution in each area. Conclusion The data based SQFFQ should be suitable to cover both urban and rural populations. The reliability and reproducibility tests are needed to be further studied.
