Key Points

This study aims to modify and validate the EPIC food frequency questionnaire for Black African women in the UK to improve dietary assessment accuracy.
Cross-sectional study with 112 Black African women (BMI >25 kg/m²)
Modified EPIC FFQ included 141 culturally relevant food items
Comparison of nutrient intakes via correlation analyses and Bland-Altman plots.
Crude correlation coefficients for nutrient intakes ranged from 0.21 for fibre to 0.87 for protein
De-attenuated correlations showed further improvement in dietary intake assessments
Bland-Altman plots indicated systematic overestimation of protein and fibre intakes but demonstrated good overall agreement.
