There's an App for That: Development of an Application to Operationalize the Global Diet Quality Score.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The global diet quality score (GDQS) is a simple, standardized metric appropriate for population-based measurement of diet quality globally.

Objectives

We aimed to operationalize data collection by modifying the quantity of consumption cutoffs originally developed for the GDQS food groups and to statistically evaluate the performance of the operationalized GDQS relative to the original GDQS against nutrient adequacy and noncommunicable disease (NCD)-related outcomes.
