Exploration of Machine Learning and Statistical Techniques in Development of a Low-Cost Screening Method Featuring the Global Diet Quality Score for Detecting Prediabetes in Rural India
ConclusionsThe models presented in the current work show promise in identifying individuals at risk of developing diabetes, although further studies are necessary to assess other potentially impactful predictors, as well as the consistency and generalizability of model performance. In addition, future studies to examine the utility of the GDQS in screening for other noncommunicable diseases are recommended. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Validation of Global Diet Quality Score Among Nonpregnant Women of Reproductive Age in India: Findings from the Andhra Pradesh Children and Parents Study (APCAPS) and the Indian Migration Study (IMS)
ConclusionsThe GDQS was a useful tool for reflecting overall nutrient adequacy and some lipid measures. Future studies are needed to refine the GDQS for populations who consume large amounts of unhealthy foods, like refined grains, along with healthy foods included in the GDQS.

Higher Global Diet Quality Score Is Associated with Less 4-Year Weight Gain in US Women
ConclusionsImprovement of diet quality as measured by the GDQS was associated with less weight gain and risk of obesity in US women. The association was stronger for women aged<50 y. Associations similar in direction and magnitude were observed between the GDQS and obesity across age groups. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

There's an App for That: Development of an Application to Operationalize the Global Diet Quality Score
ConclusionThe operationalized GDQS cutoffs did not change the performance of the GDQS and therefore are recommended for use to collect GDQS data in the future. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Changes in the Global Diet Quality Score, Weight, and Waist Circumference in Mexican Women
ConclusionsImprovements in diet quality over a 2-y period reflected by an increase in the GDQS and changes in consumption of specific components of the GDQS were associated with less weight and waist circumference gain in Mexican women. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Performance of the Global Diet Quality Score with Nutrition and Health Outcomes in Mexico with 24-h Recall and FFQ Data
ConclusionsIn comparison to other diet metrics, the GDQS can capture both dimensions of nutrient adequacy and health markers related to the risk of chronic disease. The performance of the GDQS was satisfactory with either 24-h recall or FFQ. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Higher Global Diet Quality Score Is Inversely Associated with Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in US Women
ConclusionsA higher GDQS was inversely associated with type 2 diabetes risk in US women of reproductive age or older, mainly from lower intake of unhealthy foods. The GDQS performed nearly as well as the AHEI-2010. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

The Global Diet Quality Score Is Inversely Associated with Nutrient Inadequacy, Low Midupper Arm Circumference, and Anemia in Rural Adults in Ten Sub-Saharan African Countries
ConclusionsThe GDQS performed comparably with the MDD-W in capturing nutrient adequacy –related outcomes in rural SSA. Given limited data on NCD outcomes and the cross-sectional study design, prospective studies are warranted to assess GDQS performance in capturing NCD outcomes in SSA. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

The Global Diet Quality Score is Associated with Higher Nutrient Adequacy, Midupper Arm Circumference, Venous Hemoglobin, and Serum Folate Among Urban and Rural Ethiopian Adults
ConclusionsThe GDQS performed capably in capturing nutrient adequacy –related outcomes in Ethiopian adults. Prospective studies are warranted to assess the GDQS’ performance in capturing NCD outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Application of the Global Diet Quality Score in Chinese Adults to Evaluate the Double Burden of Nutrient Inadequacy and Metabolic Syndrome
ConclusionsA higher GDQS was inversely associated with a double burden of nutrient inadequacy and metabolic syndrome across various subgroups of Chinese adults. The finding supports the use of the GDQS in different demographic groups of Chinese adults to assess diet quality and nutritional status. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Development and Validation of a Novel Food-Based Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS)
ConclusionsThe simplicity of the GDQS and its ability to capture both nutrient adequacy and diet-related NCD risk render it a promising candidate for global monitoring platforms. Research is warranted to validate methods to operationalize GDQS assessment in population surveys, including a novel application –based 24-h recall system developed as part of this project.
