This article reviews the published indexes of overall diet quality. Approaches used for measuring overall diet quality include those based on examination of the intake of nutrients, food groups, or a combination of both. A majority of the indexes have been examined in relation to nutrient adequacy only; few have been evaluated for assessment of quality according to current dietary guidelines, namely, a diet relatively low in fat that meets energy and nutrient needs. The indexes of overall diet quality were related to the risk of disease more strongly than individual nutrients or foods.
本文回顾了已发表的总体饮食质量指标。用于衡量总体饮食质量的方法包括基于对营养素摄入量、食物组或两者结合的检查。大多数指标仅在营养素充足性方面进行了研究；根据当前饮食指南，即脂肪含量相对较低且能满足能量和营养需求的饮食，很少有指标被评估其质量。总体饮食质量指标与疾病风险的关联比个体营养素或食物更强。
