Overview

Analysis reveals healthy-eating-index and MIND scores predict nutrient adequacy in older adults, indicating their importance in dietary assessments.

Key Points

  • Higher HEI scores predicted greater intake of 12 nutrients, enhancing nutritional adequacy in older adults.
  • The MIND score reliably identified adequacy for 11 essential nutrients, outperforming both the HEI and Mediterranean scores.
  • Both linear and multivariate-logistic regression models were used to analyze a cohort of 72 older adults aged 77.5 years on average.
  • Findings suggest that HEI and MIND scores are effective for nutritional assessment, while Mediterranean score may exhibit limitations.
