We read with interest the recent contribution by Kipnis et al. (1Go) suggesting a new model for the correction of measurement error in the assessment of dietary intake. The authors questioned the adequacy of standard methods of correcting relative risks for measurement error and concluded that failure to detect an association in diet research may well be due to residual attenuation of the risk estimate. They suggested that available methods do not adequately account for the correlation between person-specific biases in a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and a reference instrument. Claiming to be unaware of any data that . . . [Full Text of this Article]
