Validation of a Diet Risk Screening Tool

Completed

Conditions studied: Nutrition, Diet Modification, Preventive Medicine, Cardiovascular Diseases, Health Promotion

In brief

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for 1 in 4 deaths in the US annually. Nutrition is an important part of prevention and management of CVD and other chronic diseases, but only about 25% of patients with a chronic disease diagnosis (and about 12% of patients without a chronic disease) receive nutrition counseling from their physician. The investigators plan to validate a diet questionnaire in preparation for the creation of a diet assessment/ intervention tool to increase rates of nutrition intervention in medical care. The aim of this project is to test whether the developed questionnaire accurately identifies individuals at high nutritional risk compared to the Healthy Eating Index- 2015 (HEI-2015) determined by a validated questionnaire.
