claimHerforth et al. (2020) developed the Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR) Score as a low-burden index to capture adherence to global dietary recommendations provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Cancer Research Fund / American Institute for Cancer Research.
claimThe Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR) Score is intended for use in assessing and monitoring diets at the population level, rather than for assessing individual diets.
claimThe Global Dietary Recommendations Score (GDR) measures adherence to World Health Organization (WHO) Healthy Diet guidance and World Cancer Research Fund / American Institute for Cancer Research recommendations, serving as a proxy for the Healthy Diet Indicator (HDI).
claimThe Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR) Score was developed as a complement to the Minimum Diet Diversity for Women (MDD-W) to provide a low-burden index that reflects non-communicable disease (NCD) risk reduction.
claimThe Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR) Score is based on non-quantitative food group recall data, whereas the Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) is based on semi-quantitative data.
claimThe Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR) Score is a proxy indicator designed to reflect adherence to global dietary guidance from the World Health Organization and the World Cancer Research Fund, specifically focusing on non-communicable disease (NCD) risk.
claimThe Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR) Score and the Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) were developed for adults, though they may be evaluated for other demographic groups in the future.
claimNeither the Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR) Score nor the Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) requires the use of food composition data for tabulation.

claimMetrics constructed using both healthy and unhealthy food groups, such as the Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR) score and the Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS), showed relatively less discriminatory capacity across country income classifications compared to their respective submetrics or the Food Group Diversity Score (FGDS).
referenceThe study evaluated several healthy diet metrics, including the Food Group Diversity Score (FGDS), Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women indicator, Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) and its submetrics (GDQS+ and GDQS-), Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR) score and its submetrics (NCD-Protect and NCD-Risk scores), and the All-5 indicator.
