Relate the nutrient density for total fat for the DR versus the FFQ using the quintile approach in Problem 2.28. Is the concordance between total fat for DR and FFQ stronger, weaker, or the same when total fat is expressed in terms of nutrient density as opposed to raw nutrient?

Refer to Problem 2.28

frequently used method for quantifying dietary intake is in the form of quintiles. Compute quintiles for each nutrient and each method of recording, and relate the nutrient composition for DR and FFQ using the quintile scale. (That is, how does the quintile category based on DR relate to the
quintile category based on FFQ for the same individual?)
Do you get the same impression about the concordance between DR and FFQ using quintiles as in Problem 2.27, in which raw (ungrouped) nutrient intake is considered? In nutritional epidemiology, it is customary to assess nutrient intake in relation to total caloric intake. One measure used
to accomplish this is nutrient density, which is defined as 100% × (caloric intake of a nutrient/total caloric intake). For fat consumption, 1 g of fat is equivalent to 9 calories?
