claim
Composite indices such as healthy eating indices, the Health Score, and the Diet Quality Index are justified because they are based on national dietary guidelines and assess overall diets beyond single nutrients, which is important for the reduction of obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases (Carvalho et al., 2013; Wrieden et al., 2019; Rose et al., 2019; Van Dooren et al., 2014).
