Dietary patterns were related to intake and blood concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) and selected non-dioxin-like-PCBs (ndl-PCBs). Intake calculations were based on an extensive food frequency questionnaire and a congener-specific database on concentrations in Norwegian foods. The study (2003) applied a two-step inclusion strategy recruiting representative (n=73) and high consumers (n=111) of seafood and game. Estimated median intakes of ∑PCDDs/Fs/dl-PCBs of the representative and high consumers were 0.78 and 1.25 pg TEQ/kg bw/day, respectively. Estimated median intakes of ndl-PCBs and ∑CB-28, 52, 101, 138, 153, 180 were 4.26 and 6.40 ng/kg bw/day. The median blood concentrations for ∑CB-101, 138, 153 and 180 were 28.7 and 35.1 pg TEQ/g lipid, and 252 and 299 ng/g lipid. The Spearman correlations between dietary intake and serum concentration were r=0.34 (p=0.017) for dl-compounds and r=0.37 (p
