Biomarker-Based Methods and Study Designs to Calibrate Dietary Intake for Assessing Diet-Disease Associations.

Self-reported dietary intake needs to be calibrated for measurement error correction in diet-disease association analyses. When there are no existing objective biomarkers that can be used for calibration purpose, controlled feeding studies can be used to develop new biomarkers for use in calibration or can be used to calibrate self-reported dietary intake directly.
