The aim of this study was to assess whether the recently developed Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I) was useful to evaluate the diet quality of a young Mediterranean population. A cross-sectional nutritional survey was carried out in southern Spain (Granada-Andalucia) from 2002 to 2005. Dietary information (24 h recall and FFQ) and socio-demographic and lifestyle data were collected from a representative sample of the population (n 288, 44.1 % females and 55.9 % males) aged 6-18 years (mean 12.88 (sd 2.78) years). DQI-I was designed according to the method of Kim et al. modified by Tur et al. for Mediterranean populations. It focused on four main characteristics of a high-quality diet (variety, adequacy, moderation and overall balance). This young population from southern Spain obtained 56.31 % of the total DQI-I score, indicating a poor-quality diet. A higher score was associated with a longer breakfast and greater physical activity. The DQI-I may require further modification for application in Mediterranean populations, differentiating between olive oil and saturated fats, among other changes. Further research is needed to develop a new diet quality index adapted to the Mediterranean diet.
本研究的目的是评估最近开发的国际饮食质量指数（DQI-I）是否有助于评估年轻地中海人群的饮食质量。2002年至2005年在西班牙南部（格拉纳达-安达卢西亚）进行了一项横断面营养调查。从6至18岁（平均12.88（标准差2.78）岁）的具有代表性的人群样本（n = 288，女性占44.1%，男性占55.9%）中收集饮食信息（24小时回顾法和食物频率问卷）以及社会人口统计学和生活方式数据。DQI-I是根据Kim等人的方法设计的，并由Tur等人针对地中海人群进行了修改。它侧重于优质饮食的四个主要特征（多样性、充足性、适度性和总体平衡）。西班牙南部的这一年轻人群获得了DQI-I总分的56.31%，表明饮食质量较差。得分较高与早餐时间较长和体育活动较多有关。DQI-I可能需要进一步修改以适用于地中海人群，例如区分橄榄油和饱和脂肪等。需要进一步研究以开发一种适应地中海饮食的新饮食质量指数。
