Prospective association between a dietary quality index based on a nutrient profiling system and cardiovascular disease risk

Conclusions Our results suggest that poorer food choices, as reflected by a higher FSA-NPS DI, may be associated with a significant increase in cardiovascular risk, especially in at-risk individuals (smokers and physically inactive persons). This score could be a useful tool for public health prevention strategies. Clinical trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00272428.
