New Nutrient Rich Food Nutrient Density Models That Include Nutrients and MyPlate Food Groups.

ABSTRACT: Background: Dietary guidelines have shifted emphasis from single nutrients to food patterns, food groups, and dietary ingredients. Nutrient profiling models need to do the same. Methods: Dietary intake data for 23,643 persons aged >2 years came from the 2011-2016 National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES 2011-16). Healthy Eating Index HEI-2015 was the diet quality measure. The new Nutrient Rich Food hybrid score (NRFh) was based on three subscores. The subscore based on x nutrients to encourage was defined as NRx. The subscore based on y MyPlate food groups to encourage was MPy. The negative subscore based on z nutrients to limit was LIMz. The final algorithm was NRFh(x.y.z) = NRx + MPy - LIMz. The selection of NRFh model components from among 16 nutrients and five food
