A Novel Diet-Health Index Reveals Worsening Trends and Widening Disparities in the Health Impacts of Diet in the United States

摘要

Poor diets are associated with poor health outcomes, but existing metrics of diet quality do not directly include the health effects of diet. Using a novel international diet-health index (IDHI), we can measure diet-related health impacts from multiple dietary factors simultaneously, given a population's health status and most prevalent causes of death and disability.
