measurementThe average PANDiet score was 64.83 with a standard deviation of 5.44.
claimThe quantitative scoring indices ELD-I and WISH show a positive, weak correlation with most PANDiet metrics, including total PANDiet score, sub-scores, and nutrient adequacies.
measurementThe WISH and ELI indices have moderate effects on the PANDiet index (η2 = 0.121 and 0.083, respectively), while the PHDI and ELD-I indices have small effects (η2 = 0.059 and 0.053, respectively).
claimThe highest ELD-I (EAT-Lancet Diet Index) quintiles showed an increase in PANDiet scores despite a reduction in animal food consumption, according to a study referenced in the text.
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.
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.
measurementAll indices based on EAT-Lancet recommendations exhibit significant differences between quantiles regarding the PANDiet score, with indices using a quantitative scoring system showing the best performance.
measurementIn the analysis of variance (ANOVA) used to test means of PANDiet and environmental impact indicators, the partial eta-squared (η²) cut-off points for effect sizes were defined as 0.01 for a small effect, 0.06 for a moderate effect, and 0.14 for a large effect.
referenceThe dietary reference values used to calculate the PANDiet score are based on guidelines issued by the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (ANSES).
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.

referenceVerger et al. (2012) evaluated a diet quality index based on the probability of adequate nutrient intake (PANDiet) using national French and US dietary surveys.
claimThe PANDiet score is justified because it is based on adherence to national nutrition and health recommendations and tracks with other indicators of nutritional quality among French and U.S. national health and nutrition surveys (Masset et al., 2014b; Lacour et al., 2018; Seconda et al., 2018, 2019).
claimThe most frequently used composite indicators for assessing diet quality include healthy eating indices based on national dietary guidelines (such as the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index, the DHD15-Index, and the Healthy Eating Index), Mediterranean Diet Scores, and the PANDiet score.
