“…Additionally, the BHEI score did not differentiate the quality of diets with protein, lipid, and carbohydrate contents below the recommended range from that of diets with macronutrient contents within the recommended ranges according to the FAO & WHO 6 . The mean Brazilian Healthy Eating Index score (61.3 points) found for the present sample was similar to that reported by Fisberg et al 15 , who assessed the diet quality of 3,454 individuals from the municipality of São Paulo and reported a mean score of 60.4 points. A higher mean score (63.7 points) was found by the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III, a study with a representative sample of the American population that used the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) to assess diet quality 16 .…”

A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between macronutrient intake adequacy and the national diet quality index score. MethodsThe study analyzed a representative sample of 1,662 individuals from the municipality of São Paulo who participated in a cross-sectional study called Health Survey-Capital (2008/2009). Two 24-hour recalls were collected. Habitual intake was determined by the Multiple Source Method. The Brazilian index was calculated as suggested, and macronutrient adequacy was given by the World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization recommendations. A generalized linear model verified the relationship between the Brazilian index and macronutrient adequacy. All analyses with a descriptive level below 0.05 were considered significant. The analyses were performed by the software Stata 12.0, survey mode. ResultsThe vast majority (91%) of the population had inappropriate macronutrient intakes, and the total median Brazilian index score was 61.3 points (interquartile range=10.1). The total Brazilian index score of individuals

“…Consistently, a recent population-based study in Brazil (32) found that dietary quality, measured by the healthy eating index, was inversely associated with smoking and BMI. Using the data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, Rafferty and colleagues (33) also found that dietary quality was related to education level.…”

A B S T R A C TBackground: Dietary saturated fat and cholesterol are the cause of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Objectives: This study aimed to assess diet quality after diagnosis of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). Patients and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 242 patients with diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome admitted to a coronary care unit in a cardiology clinic between December 2005 and December 2006. The study questionnaire, including questions about personal information such as age, sex, and education level, was completed by face-to-face interview. Additionally, Diet Quality Index (DQI) was used to assess the subjects' nutritonal status. Then, one-way ANOVA and chi-square tests were used where appropriated to compare the study groups. Besides, linear regression models were used to assess the associations between DQI score and the patients' sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle factors. P value ≤ 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The patients' ages ranged from 26 to 85 years and 68.5% of the patients were male. Considering DQI scoring, 22.7%, 75.2%, and 2.1% of the patients got "inadequate/ low", "average", and "acceptable/high" DQI, respectively. In addition, 28% of the patients consumed 40% of calories from total fat, while 55% consumed 30 -40% of calories from total fat. Also, nearly 30% of the patients consumed greater than 13% of calories from saturated fat, while 64% consumed 10 -13% of calories from saturated fat. Conclusions: In this study, most of the CHD patients got low DQI scores. In general, CHD can be prevented. However, if precautions regarding lifestyle modification are not followed, CHD is expected to progress.

“…The HEI was also applied by Fisberg et al in a cross-sectional study of 3,454 adults living in large or medium sized cities in the State of São Paulo. This group found a mean HEI score of 60.4, with the lowest scores for vegetables, fruits, and dairy products consumption 38 .…”

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, is related to an inadequate food intake pattern. Its incidence is increasing among Brazilian adults, including those living in rural areas. Our aim was not only to describe the frequency of MetS in adults with or without MetS but also to compare their food intake pattern as assessed by the healthy eating index (HEI) and serum albumin and C reactive protein (CRP) levels. Methods: Men and women (n = 246) living in a small village in Brazil were included. MetS was characterized according to the adult treatment panel (ATP III) criteria. Groups were compared by chi-square, student t or Mann-Whitney tests. Results: MetS was diagnosed in 15.4% of the cases. The MetS group showed higher CRP (1.8±1.2 vs. 1.0±0.9 mg/dl) and lower albumin (4.3±0.3 vs. 4.4±0.3 g/dl) serum levels compared to the control group. Additionally, the MetS group showed lower scores (median[range]) in the HEI compared to the control group (53.5[31.2-78.1] vs 58[29.7-89.5], respectively). The MetS group also had decreased scores for total fat and daily variety of food intake. Conclusions: The results suggest that adults with MetS displayed chronic mild inflammation and a poorer food intake pattern than the control group.
