Name

DASH_AccordanceScore

Label

Dash accordance score

Description

New for R7 with altered data in R8. The DASH accordance score represents the degree to which dietary intakes align with food and nutrient targets in the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH). This data is calculated by a script which uses data on 60 different food items (which in turn were calculated using FETA output 3 data on the FFQ data) as well as FreeSugarIntake - Sodium and Energy_kcal data. The score ranges from 8 to 40 units of adherence where 8 is the lowest possible adherence and 40 is complete adherence. Note: DASH accordance score is calculated using residuals and quintiles and is population specific. Therefore scores from previous releases become invalid when new participants are included.
