Underreporting of energy intake is not associated with the reported consumption of NOVA-classified food groups in socially vulnerable women.

Few studies have investigated which types of food are least reported among underreporters of energy intake (EI). This study assessed the association between the underreporting of EI and the consumption report of food groups according to NOVA classification in women in social vulnerability. EI was measured through three 24-h dietary recalls administered by the research team.
