How do the indices based on the EAT-Lancet recommendations ... medrxiv.org May 14, 2024 19 facts
measurementWomen had significantly higher means in WISH, ELI, PHDI, and ELDS dietary index scores than men.
measurementThe EAT-Lancet Diet-Index (ELD-I) and the WISH index exhibited the best internal consistency among the indices evaluated, while the ELDS index showed lower lambda coefficients.
claimThe EAT-Lancet Diet Score (ELDS) and the Healthy and Sustainable Diet Index (HSDI) are early instruments for measuring adherence to the planetary health diet, based on data from the United Kingdom and Mexico, respectively.
claimThe HSDI and ELDS indices were modeled using Generalized Structural Equation Modeling (GSEM) due to their composition of dichotomous items, which confirmed their unidimensional structure.
claimThe HSDI and ELDS dietary indices showed infrequent significant differences and trends of small magnitude.
measurementPeanuts, tree nuts, added fats, beef, lamb, and pork were the food groups with the lowest compliance in the EAT-Lancet Diet Score (ELDS) index.
measurementCorrelations between energy intake and other dietary indices were low (p < 0.0001): HSDI (r = -0.23), WISH (r = -0.25), ELI (r = -0.28), and ELDS (r = -0.30).
claimThe validity of the EAT-Lancet Diet Score (ELDS) and the Healthy and Sustainable Diet Index (HSDI) has not been explored, despite their association with health outcomes.
measurementThe EAT-Lancet Diet Score (ELDS) total score ranges from 0 to 14 points, with higher scores indicating greater adherence to EAT-Lancet recommendations.
measurementThe HSDI and ELDS indices, which are based on binary scoring, correlated inversely with several nutrients including protein, DHA, EPA+DHA, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, vitamin D, iodine, phosphorus, zinc, calcium, and iron.
referenceThe EAT-Lancet Diet Score (ELDS) consists of 14 food components and uses a binary scoring system where one point is assigned to each component for meeting recommended intakes in grams per day without energy adjustment.
claimMost items contributed significantly to total scores in the dietary indices, with the exceptions of chicken and poultry in the ELD-I, legumes in the HSDI, and soy foods in the ELDS.
measurementThe EAT-Lancet Diet Score (ELDS) had a mean score of 8.10 (SD = 1.49) within a range of 4 to 12 points, with dry beans, lentils, peas, soy foods, dairy foods, and fish showing the highest target compliance.
claimThe ELDS index was associated with negative effects on a greater number of environmental indicators than the HSDI index, showing negative trends with moderate effects for GHGE, particulate matter emissions, acidification, and freshwater eutrophication.
measurementThe HSDI and ELDS indices showed the lowest change in scores across percentiles.
measurementCorrelations between PANDiet scores and other dietary indices were lowest (ρ < 0.20) for the HSDI and ELDS binary indices, and ranged from 0.22 to 0.34 for other indices.
procedureGeneralised structural equation modelling (GSEM) was used for the Healthy Sustainable Diet Index (HSDI) and the EAT-Lancet Diet Score (ELDS) because they are based on binary scoring, which prevents the calculation of standard goodness-of-fit indices.
measurementThe EAT-Lancet Diet Score (ELDS) index demonstrated the lowest λ coefficients for reliability among the indices studied.
claimHSDI and ELDS are binary indices that classify food compounds into two categories, which limits the representation of variability.
