Developing A Food Frequency Questionnaire To Evaluate Women's Dietary Iron, Folate, and Vitamin B12 Intake Status

The study is planned in three stages. In the first stage, a three-day food consumption record will be taken from 50 non-pregnant (menstruating) women of reproductive age in order to determine the foods to be included in the food consumption frequency section, and the questionnaire sections and questions (nutrition habits and food consumption frequency questionnaire) will be designed. In the second stage of the study, the questionnaire developed in the first stage will be applied to 350 non-pregnant (menstruating) volunteer women of reproductive age through face-to-face interviews. In this stage, the blood parameters of at least 100 individuals whose blood counts have already been taken for routine tests and treatments and who meet the inclusion criteria of the study will also be recorded from their patient files. In the third stage, the questionnaire will be applied again to 75 individuals who have completed the second stage at least 2 weeks later in order to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire.
