referenceSavy M, Martin-Prével Y, Traissac P, Eymard-Duvernay S, Delpeuch F published a systematic scoping review in Advances in Nutrition (2021) titled 'Dietary diversity indicators and their associations with Dietary Adequacy and Health outcomes: a systematic scoping review' which synthesizes existing research on these associations.
claimNumerous studies have associated dietary diversity scores (DDS) with nutrient intake adequacy, particularly regarding micronutrients.
referenceMirmiran, Azadbakht, and Azizi (2006) identified dietary diversity within food groups as an indicator of specific nutrient adequacy in Tehranian women, published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition.
claimDietary diversity is used as a proxy to assess nutrient adequacy and overall diet quality, while self-rated health (SRH) is used to assess health from sociological, epidemiological, and economic perspectives.
referenceKennedy GL, Pedro MR, Seghieri C, Nantel G, and Brouwer I published a study in Public Health Nutrition (2006) titled 'Food variety and dietary diversity scores in children: are they good indicators of dietary adequacy?' which evaluates the efficacy of these scores as indicators of dietary adequacy in children.
referenceHatløy A, Torheim L, and Oshaug A published a case study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 1998 evaluating whether food variety is a good indicator of the nutritional adequacy of a diet in an urban area of Mali, West Africa.
claimThe 24-hour recall survey is a simple, quick, and inexpensive method that allows for the calculation of dietary scores to estimate nutrient adequacy and assess changes in diet over time.
referenceMirmiran et al. (2004) determined that the dietary diversity score is a good indicator of nutritional adequacy in adolescents based on the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study, published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
How do the indices based on the EAT-Lancet recommendations ... medrxiv.org May 14, 2024 6 facts
claimEAT-Lancet indices demonstrate an inverse relationship with the nutritional adequacy of zinc and vitamin B-12, regardless of the scoring system used.
claimDietary indices utilizing binary or semi-quantitative scoring systems are negatively associated with nutritional adequacy for several nutrients.
claimIndices assessing adherence to EAT-Lancet recommendations show variations in their correlation with nutritional adequacy.
referenceThe PANDiet quality index is a comprehensive measure used to evaluate nutritional adequacy by assessing the probability of meeting recommended intake levels for 33 nutrients.
formulaThe total PANDiet score is calculated by multiplying each sub-score by 100 and then calculating their average, resulting in a range from 0 to 100, where higher scores imply superior diet quality and greater nutrient adequacy.
claimThe PANDiet score and the PEF (Planetary Environmental Footprint) ratio were combined into a single indicator to measure both nutritional adequacy and global environmental impact.
A Scoping Review of Indicators for Sustainable Healthy Diets frontiersin.org Jan 12, 2022 5 facts
claimWhile no universal definition for diet quality exists, the concept is frequently examined through parameters such as nutrient adequacy, variety or diversity, moderation, nutrient density, and food safety.
claimDiet diversity indicators among children are justified as proxy indicators of diet quality associated with nutrient adequacy, based on prior validation studies among children in the relevant age range according to Galway et al. (2018).
measurementThe scoping review identified 143 health indicators across the 103 articles, categorized into the following concepts: health outcomes (26), nutrient adequacy (22), nutrient density (16), moderation (12), diversity (9), safety (1), multiple concepts (47), diet quantity (4), and other (6).
claimResearchers frequently justify the use of nutrient adequacy indicators because they are based on national or international guidelines for optimal nutrient intake.
claimSome researchers note that nutrient adequacy indicators may fail to consider nutrient bioavailability, which can vary significantly based on individual- and household-level factors.
Dietary Guidelines and Quality - Principles of Nutritional Assessment nutritionalassessment.org 4 facts
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.
claimDiet quality indices are based on national or global dietary guidelines, or assessments of evidence related to nutritional adequacy, diet-health relationships, and environmental sustainability.
claimModern diet quality indices have evolved to reflect multiple characteristics, including nutrient adequacy, non-communicable disease (NCD) risk, and increasingly, sustainability concerns.
referenceThe earliest dietary guidance from national governments focused on ensuring nutrient adequacy of diets, according to Harper (1987).
