Key result
Higher Global Diet Quality Score linked to lower cardiovascular disease risk across US and European populations.
Why the study?
The association of the food-based Global Diet Quality Score with cardiovascular disease risk and its performance compared to nutrient-centric diet quality indices in US and European populations was not established.
Does the food-based Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) improve the prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk compared to nutrient-centric diet quality indices (DQIs) in US and European populations?
Does the food-based Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) improve the prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk compared to nutrient-centric diet quality indices (DQIs) in US and European populations?
A food-based Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) may be associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease in US and European populations.
Objectives: To examine the association of the food-based Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and compare its performance with nutrient-centric diet quality indices (DQIs) in US and European populations.
