Performance of the Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) App in Predicting Nutrient Adequacy and Metabolic Risk Factors among Thai Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) was developed for monitoring nutrient adequacy and diet-related noncommunicable disease risk in diverse populations. A software application (GDQS app) was recently developed for the standardized collection of GDQS data. The application involves a simplified 24-h dietary recall (24HR) where foods are matched to GDQS-food groups using an onboard database, portion sizes are estimated at the food group level using cubic models, and the GDQS is computed.

Objectives

The study aimed to estimate associations between GDQS scores collected using the GDQS app and nutrient adequacy and metabolic risks.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study of 600 Thai males and nonpregnant/nonlactating females (40-60 y), we collected 2 d of GDQS app
