Poor diet quality is thought to be a leading risk factor for years of life lost. We examined how scores on 4 commonly used indices—the Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI), the Alternative (AHEI), Alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMED), and Dietary Approaches Stop Hypertension (DASH)—are related risks death from all causes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer among postmenopausal women. Our prospective cohort study included 63,805 participants in Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (from...

The authors compared how four indexes—the Healthy Eating Index-2005, Alternate Index, Mediterranean Diet Score, and Recommended Food Score—are associated with colorectal cancer in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Health Study (n = 492,382).

Other variables included energy, nutrients, multivitamins, alcohol. Models were...
The authors compared dietary pattern methods-cluster analysis, factor and index analysis-with colorectal cancer risk in the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-AARP Diet Study (n = 492,306). Data from a 124-item food frequency questionnaire (1995-1996) were used to identify 4 clusters for men (3 women), 3 factors, indexes. Comparisons made with adjusted relative risks 95% confidence intervals, distributions individuals by quintile scores, health behavior characteristics. During 5 years...
