Level State10 years
Definition
The "Nutrient-Rich Diet" score checks whether food intake is in line with dietary recommendations. Higher scores are assigned to individuals whose food intake meets the minimum reference intake for protein, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, and who do not have high intakes of nutrients essential for metabolic health, such as saturated fatty acids, added sugar, and sodium.
Interpretation
Higher values for this indicator point to good quality diets and, consequently, to greater sustainability of the nutritional aspect of the food system.
