May I know if any one generated a diet score before in ukbiobank? I am developing the diet score but the values are really odd so want to ask if any did it before. Thank you so much for the help.
Thank you so much for the paper. I believe I may have checked it but not sure. I will look into it. I am using the nature metabolism paper as a reference. I am creating the scores based on serving but the final score is odd compared to what was shown cased. So looking for a way or code I can check for the generation of score.
I am not a nutritionist, but it looks as if the score used by Hepsomali et all would be more helpfully named an Unhealthy Diet Score, in that, so far as I can tell, a low value signifies a healthy diet and a high value signifies an unhealthy diet. This isn't clear from the description "Healthy diet score was calculated based on consumption of commonly eaten food groups following recommendations on dietary priorities for cardiometabolic health (Fruits:???3 servings/day, Vegetables:???3 servings/day, Fish:???2 servings/week, Processed meats:???1 serving/week, Unprocessed red meats:???1.5 servings/week, Whole grains:???3servings/day, Refined grains:???1.5 servings/day)." and I can't find a more specific calculation in the References. It might be quickest to drop the authors an email.
I am losing a lot of individuals when generating scores, which is not the case when I observe the above papers you suggested and other recently published papers dealing with essential 8 and diet scores. I am obtaining values for only 150k individuals for diet scores, whereas in the papers, it was reported to have scores for around 250k individuals.
Did you get anywhere with generating these scores? I am also looking to create something similar, and I am wondering if these variables have been created and saved in the UKB Dataset for other researchers to access without recreating these scores?

Have you seen this study? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-91259-3
Hello Rachael,

What are you seeing that is "odd" ?
