Diet quality scores and prediction of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality in a pan-european cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-13)
Scores of overall diet quality have received increasing attention in relation to disease aetiol-
ogy; however, their value in risk prediction has been little examined. The objective was to assess
and compare the association and predictive performance of 10 diet quality scores on 10-year risk of
all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality in 451,256 healthy participants to the European Prospective ...
