Diet quality and major chronic disease risk in men and women: moving toward improved dietary guidance
Open accessAbstract
Background Adherence to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, measured with the US Department of Agriculture Healthy Eating Index (HEI), was associated with only a small reduction in major chronic disease risk. Research suggests that greater reductions in risk are possible with more specific guidance.Objective We evaluated whether 2 alternate measures of diet quality, the Alternate Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) and the Recommended Food Score (RFS), would predict chronic disease risk reduction more effectively than did the HEI.Design A total of 38 615 men from the Health Professional's Follow-up Study and 67 271 women from the Nurses' Health Study completed dietary questionnaires. Major chronic disease was defined as the initial occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, or nontraumatic death during 8-12 y of follow-up.Results High AHEI scores were associated with significant reductions in risk of major chronic disease in men [multivariate relative risk (RR): 0.80; 95% CI: 0.71, 0.91] and in women (RR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.82, 0.96) when comparing the highest and lowest quintiles. Reductions in risk were particularly strong for CVD in men (RR: 0.61; 95% CI: 0.49, 0.75) and in women (RR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.60, 0.86). In men but not in women, the RFS predicted risk of major chronic disease (RR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.83, 1.04) and CVD (RR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.64, 0.93).Conclusions The AHEI predicted chronic disease risk better than did the RFS (or the HEI, in our previous research) primarily because of a strong inverse association with CVD. Dietary guidelines can be improved by providing more specific and comprehensive advice.

The healthy eating index used in the study predicts risk for chronic disease, especially cardiovascular disease.
“This index predicts risk for chronic disease, especially cardiovascular disease (McCullough & Willett, 2006; McCullough et al., 2002; Chiuve et al., 2012).”

Inflammatory molecules are likely candidates linking adipose tissue to metabolic, cardiovascular, hepatic and thrombotic complications and certain cancers in obesity.
“Inflammatory molecules are likely candidates exerting a molecular link between the adipose tissue and the metabolic, cardiovascular, hepatic and thrombotic complications, and certain cancer types occurring in conjunction with or as a consequence of human obesity.”

The AHEI better predicts chronic disease risk than other measures of diet quality, including the HEI.
“The AHEI, which targets foods and nutrients associated with lower risk of chronic disease, better predicts chronic disease risk than do other measures of diet quality, including the HEI.21,23”
The circadian clock appears to operate as a critical interface between nutrition and homeostasis.
“The circadian clock appears to operate as a critical interface between nutrition and homeostasis, and this calls for more attention to the beneficial effects of chrononutrition (82) , including the adaptation of the term 'chrononutrition'.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
