Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• My Nutrition Index

  The My Nutrition Index (MNI), developed by Busgang et al. (2022), evaluates 34 dietary components, including fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes. The index is calculated based on 3-day food consumption records, considering factors like height, weight, gender, age, activity level, and lifestyle factors such as alcohol, smoking, and caffeine intake. MNI consists of four sub-dimensions: Macronutrient, Electrolyte, Vitamin, and Mineral Index, with scores ranging from 0 to 100, reflecting diet quality. The validity of the index was compared to the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015).

  Baseline

• Healthy Eating Index-2015

  The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) was updated in 2015 and consists of 9 adequacy components: Whole Fruits, Total Fruits, Greens and Beans, Total Vegetables, Dairy, Whole Grains, Fatty Acids, Total Protein Foods, and Seafood and Plant Proteins, as well as 4 moderation components: Sodium, Refined Grains, Added Sugars, and Saturated Fats, resulting in a total of 13 components. HEI-2015 was calculated using the data obtained from the 3-day food consumption records of individuals. The index yields a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 100, with higher scores indicating better diet quality. Diet quality is categorized as follows: \>80 represents good diet quality, 51-80 represents a diet quality that needs improvement, and ≤50 represents poor diet quality.
