exposures, especially lipids, in dietary interventions and other
clinical trials requiring measurement of effect over moderate
time periods. A total of 261 individuals in three studies
completed a 7DDR at the end of a 3- to 5-week period during

study (total n = 678) allowed us to test the ability of the 7DDR
to predict serum lipid changes in an interv
