Resumo: 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. Conclusion Given 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.

MétodosPara analisar a incorporação de escolhas alimentares saudáveis desenvolveu-se o Índice de Qualidade da Dieta associado a um Guia Alimentar Digital. Este Índice é constituído por componentes de moderação, destinados a indicar alimentos fonte de compostos associados a risco quando em excesso, e componentes de adequação, que incluem alimentos fonte de nutrientes e compostos bioativos de forma a atender às recomendações nutricionais. A avaliação de desempenho do Índice de Qualidade da Dieta associado a um Guia Alimentar Digital foi medida a partir de suas propriedades psicométricas para validação de conteúdo, construto e consistência interna. ResultadosOs valores de correlação entre os componentes de moderação e de adequação em relação à energia da dieta foram fracos (-0,16 a 0,09); a mais alta correlação (0,52) ocorreu entre o componente açúcares e doces e a pontuação total; a confiabilidade apresentou α=0,36. ConclusãoSabendo-se que a qualidade da dieta é uma construção complexa e multidimensional, o Índice de Qualidade da Dieta associado a um Guia Alimentar Digital é um recurso com validade compatível à observada para outros Índices e que pode contribuir para estudos de ingestão alimentar na população brasileira. Contudo, novos estudos devem promover ajustes para aprimorar a confiabilidade do instrumento. Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-05-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/8540Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 26 No. 6 (2013): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 26 Núm. 6 (2013): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 26 n. 6 (2013): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/8540/6009Copyright (c) 2023 Simone CAIVANO, Semíramis Martins Álvares DOMENEhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCAIVANO, Simone Martins Álvares DOMENE, Semíramis 2023-10-05T19:19:55Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8540Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-10-05T19:19:55Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
