“…Systematic reviews based on data from low- to middle-income countries have shown variation in dietary patterns by national income or SES, which would indicate that the SES may play an important role in diet quality variations [58, 59]. Likewise, studies in Brazilian and Chinese individuals, published after the systematic reviews, found inconsistent associations between SES and diet quality [22, 23], which may be due to the use of different indicators of SES as well as different definitions of diet quality. It is important to consider that these studies were conducted in a wide variety of years, probably representing different stages of the nutrition transition.…”

“…For example, studies from high-income countries have found that higher SES was associated with higher diet quality [18–21]. In contrast, in middle-income countries, the results have been inconsistent [22, 23]. Moreover, educational level has been barely used to examine Mexicans, even though education may facilitate the acquisition of positive psycho-social and economic skills as well as healthier lifestyles, including better diet quality [24–26].…”

Examining the potential differences in diet quality among socioeconomic status (SES) subgroups in Mexican adults may help to explain SES disparities in the burden of non-communicable diseases. We determined the association between SES, gender and diet quality among Mexican adults. We analyzed data from adults participating in the subsample with dietary information from the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012 (n = 2,400), and developed the Mexican Diet Quality Index based on the Mexican Dietary Guidelines. We tested the interaction between sex and SES indicators using multivariable linear regression models. Sex was not a modifier; therefore, the analyses were carried out in the overall sample of men and women. The mean age was 42 (SE = 0.4) years, the total diet quality score was 38 (SE = 0.4), and a high percentage of men and women were classified with reading/writing skills or 3–9 years of school. A higher percentage of adults were classified with high versus medium or low assets index. In the multivariable model further adjusted for the assets index, for adults with education in the reading and/or 3–9 years of schooling and those with ≥10 years of school, there was a 3.7 and 5.8 points lower total diet quality score than with adults with no reading/writing skills (p < 0.05). Likewise, in multivariable model further adjusted for educational level, the total diet quality score was 2.5 points and 3.3 points lower in adults classified with medium and high assets index, respectively, versus low assets index (p < 0.05). The difference between individuals with medium and high assets index was not statistically significant. Although there is currently better diet quality among adults with low SES, this needs to continue to be monitored as Mexico progress through the nutrition transition.

“…When analyzing the study outcomes and index scores, two studies did not include them 18,19 and 15 studies did not analyze them [11][12][13][14][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] . Study outcomes and index scores were found in 28 studies: seven of these evaluated the relationship of the index with socioeconomic and demographic factors and food items 17,[31][32][33][34][35][36] ; eight studies evaluated the relationship with socioeconomic factors and health [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] ; five studies evaluated the relationship with health outcomes [45][46][47][48][49] ; four studies evaluated the relationship with nutrients [50][51][52][53] ; two studies evaluated the relationship with some type of intervention 15,54 ; one study evaluated the relationship with nutrients and food items 55 ; and one study evaluated the relationship with socioeconomic and demographic factors …”

“…Some researchers use the term Healthy Eating Index [13][14][15][18][19][20][21]23,24,[27][28][29][30][31]33,34,[36][37][38]40,42,[45][46][47]50,[52][53][54] , while other studies refer to the Dietary Quality Index 11,12,17,22,25,26,32,35,39,41,43,44,48,49,51,55,56 . Some authors referred to using the Dietary Quality Index when they published in Brazilian journals and the Healthy Eating Index when they published in international journals, reinforcing the lack of standardization in relation to nomenclatures regarding indices.…”

Rev. Nutr., Campinas, 26 (6) A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo present a Diet Quality Index proper for dietary intake studies of Brazilian adults. MethodsA diet quality index to analyze the incorporation of healthy food choices was associated with a digital food guide. This index includes moderation components, destined to indicate foods that may represent a risk when in excess, and adequacy components that include sources of nutrients and bioactive compounds in order to help individuals meet their nutritional requirements. The diet quality index-digital food guide performance was measured by determining its psychometric properties, namely content and construct validity, as well as internal consistency. ResultsThe moderation and adequacy components correlated weakly with dietary energy (-0.16 to 0.09). The strongest correlation (0.52) occurred between the component 'sugars and sweets' and the total score. The Cronbach's coefficient alpha for reliability was 0.36. ConclusionGiven that diet quality is a complex and multidimensional construct, the Diet Quality Index-Digital Food Guide, whose validity is comparable to those of other indices, is a useful resource for Brazilian dietary studies. However, new studies can provide additional information to improve its reliability.
