referenceDiet quality indices may be designed to capture one or more of the following characteristics: food group consumption (quantities, diversity, balance), macronutrient balance (percent of energy from protein, carbohydrates, and fat), nutrient density (nutrients per 1000kcals), nutrient adequacy relative to requirements, moderation in consumption of foods that elevate NCD risk, adherence to dietary patterns designed to minimize NCD risk, adherence to healthy cultural dietary patterns, environmental impact/sustainability, and adherence to dietary guidance from national or global health authorities.

claimThe GBD 2017 Diet Collaborators (2019) identified that global concerns regarding diet quality now encompass sufficiency/adequacy, non-communicable disease (NCD) risk reduction, food safety, and sustainability, which are relevant in all countries.

claimModern diet quality indices have evolved to reflect multiple characteristics, including nutrient adequacy, non-communicable disease (NCD) risk, and increasingly, sustainability concerns.
