Adjusting self-reported dietary intake data for total daily energy intake significantly reduces measurement error and improves the validity of relative risk estimates in nutritional epidemiology.
When analyzing diet-health relationships, always adjust intake data for total energy. This corrects for common reporting errors and makes your findings more reliable.
