BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: A number of different nutrient-profiling models have been proposed and several applications of nutrient profiling have been identified. This paper outlines the potential role of nutrient-profiling applications in the prevention of diet-related chronic disease (DRCD), and considers the feasibility of a core nutrient-profiling system, which could be modified for purpose, to underpin the multiple potential applications in a particular country.
The 'Four 'P's of Marketing' (Product, Promotion, Place and Price) are used as a framework for identifying and for classifying potential applications of nutrient profiling. A logic pathway is then presented that can be used to gauge the potential impact of nutrient-profiling interventions on changes in behaviour, changes in diet and, ultimately, changes in DRCD outcomes. The feasibility of a core nutrient-profiling system is assessed by examining the implications of different model design decisions and their suitability to different purposes.
There is substantial scope to use nutrient profiling as part of the policies for the prevention of DRCD. A core nutrient-profiling system underpinning the various applications is likely to reduce discrepancies and minimise the confusion for regulators, manufacturers and consumers. It seems feasible that common elements, such as a standard scoring method, a core set of nutrients and food components, and defined food categories, could be incorporated as part of a core system, with additional application-specific criteria applying. However, in developing and in implementing such a system, several country-specific contextual and technical factors would need to be balanced.
背景/目的：已经提出了许多不同的营养成分分析模型，并且已经确定了营养成分分析的几种应用。本文概述了营养成分分析应用在预防与饮食相关的慢性疾病（DRCD）中的潜在作用，并考虑了核心营养成分分析系统的可行性，该系统可以根据目的进行修改，以支持在特定国家中多种潜在的应用。
“营销的四个 P”（产品、促销、地点和价格）被用作识别和分类营养成分分析潜在应用的框架。然后提出了一个逻辑途径，可以用来衡量营养成分分析干预对行为变化、饮食变化以及最终对 DRCD 结果变化的潜在影响。通过检查不同模型设计决策的影响及其对不同目的的适用性，评估了核心营养成分分析系统的可行性。
将营养成分分析用作预防 DRCD 政策的一部分具有很大的潜力。一个支持各种应用的核心营养成分分析系统可能会减少监管机构、制造商和消费者之间的差异并最小化混淆。似乎可行的是，可以将共同要素（例如标准评分方法、核心营养素和食物成分组以及定义的食物类别）作为核心系统的一部分纳入其中，并应用特定于应用的附加标准。但是，在开发和实施此类系统时，需要平衡几个特定于国家的背景和技术因素。
