Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dietary Inflammatory Index | Baseline | The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is a literature-derived scoring system that assesses the inflammatory potential of an individual's diet based on the intake of various nutrients and food components. Higher scores indicate a more pro-inflammatory diet, while lower scores indicate an anti-inflammatory one. |
| Healthy eating index-2015 | Baseline | The Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) is a measure developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to assess how well an individual's dietary intake aligns with the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better adherence to dietary recommendations. Specifically, a score above 80 reflects good diet quality, scores between 51 and 80 suggest moderate quality, while scores of 50 or below are classified as poor diet quality. |
