How does my Diet ID score relate to my health?
Diet ID derives its diet quality scores (represented as a 1 to 10 scale) using HEI analysis, but calculates ranges to account for variations in intake patterns for each diet type. Once you select the diet that is closest to how you eat, you have a really good idea of your diet quality and what that means for your overall health.
Because diet quality correlates so strongly to disease risk and health outcome measures in the scientific literature, the HEI-2020 helps assess risk of chronic disease and risk of dying. Various research models have predicted health improvements and projected healthcare cost savings that result from increasing diet quality. Each step closer to eating a diet that aligns with Dietary Guidelines recommendations can help reduce the risk of developing diet-related chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.
