Development of a diet quality index to assess adherence to Canadian dietary recommendations in 3-year-old children.
CONCLUSION: This DQI-C score is useful for ranking Canadian preschool children according to their overall diet quality. There is room for improvement for consumptions of Grain Products, Meat and Alternatives, Candy/Snacks and SSB, which could be a target for initiatives to improve diet quality of preschool children in Canada.
