Abstract:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the Diet Quality Index-Digital Food Guide (DQI-DFG) in comparison to another more used and widespread in the literature, the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised (BHEI-R). This is a cross-sectional population-based study with 822 elderly (≥ 60 years old)the Campinas/SP. The BHEI-R resulted in a higher overall score compared to DQI-DFG (62.9 vs. 47.7). For BHEI-R, mean scores increased with age and were worse among the more schooled and smokers. Regarding the DQI-DFG scores, no significant differences were detected with age, schooling and smoking, however, they were higher among the higher income segments. The components with the worst scores: whole grains, sodium and milk (BHEI-R); fruits, whole grains, roots/tubers, milk, refined cereals and red meat/processed (DQI-DFG). Discrepancies were observed in the global scores and in the components of the indicators, which reflect important methodological differences. Research into nature configures an opportunity to increase awareness of indicators to particular aspects of food.
