Eating Behavior Traits and Success in Dietary Changes in Men with Prediabetes – the T2D-Gene Intervention
Sustained dietary change is essential for type 2 diabetes prevention, yet most Finnish men do not follow dietary recommendations. Eating behavior traits such as cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating, and emotional eating may influence dietary success; however, their role in long-term adherence remains unclear. Moreover, men are underrepresented in eating behavior research. This study investigated whether baseline eating behavior traits predict…
Formation and Validation of the Healthy Diet Index (HDI) for Evaluation of Diet Quality in Healthcare
Lack of tools to evaluate the quality of diet impedes dietary counselling in healthcare. We constructed a scoring for a validated food intake questionnaire, to measure the adherence to a healthy diet that prevents type 2 diabetes (T2D). The Healthy Diet Index (HDI) consists of seven weighted domains (meal pattern, grains, fruit and vegetables, fats, fish and meat, dairy, snacks and treats). We studied the correlations of the HDI with nutrient int…

Birth weight is associated with dietary factors at the age of 6–8 years
Objective Low and high birth weight have been associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes and CVD. Diet could partly mediate this association, e.g. by intra-uterine programming of unhealthy food preferences. We examined the association of birth weight with diet in Finnish children. Design Birth weight standard deviation score (SDS) was calculated using national birth register data and Finnish references. Dietary factors were assessed using …
Eating behaviour is associated with eating frequency and food consumption in 6–8 year-old children
The Baltic Sea Diet Score
Objective The health-related effects of the Nordic diet remain mostly unidentified. We created a Baltic Sea Diet Score (BSDS) for epidemiological research to indicate adherence to a healthy Nordic diet. We examined associations between the score and nutrient intakes that are considered important in promoting public health. We also examined the performance of the BSDS under two different cut-off strategies. Design The cross-sectional study include…
