Clustering of adherence to personalised dietary recommendations and changes in healthy eating index within the Food4Me study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To characterise clusters of individuals based on adherence to dietary recommendations and to determine whether changes in Healthy Eating Index (HEI) scores in response to a personalised nutrition (PN) intervention varied between clusters.

Design

Food4Me study participants were clustered according to whether their baseline dietary intakes met European dietary recommendations. Changes in HEI scores between baseline and month 6 were compared between clusters and stratified by whether individuals received generalised or PN advice.

Setting

Pan-European, Internet-based, 6-month randomised controlled trial.

Subjects

Adults aged 18-79 years (n 1480).

Results

Individuals in cluster 1 (C1) met all recommended intakes except for red meat, those in cluster
