9.4 Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR)



The NCD-Protect score is a score with a range from 0 to 9. It is a sub-component of the GDR score, and reflects adherence to global dietary recommendations on healthy components of the diet. The NCD-Protect score is based on food consumption from 9 healthy food groups during the past day and night. A higher score indicates inclusion of more health-promoting foods in the diet, and correlates positively with meeting global dietary recommendations. It is expressed as the average score for the population.



The NCD-Risk score is also a proxy for ultra-processed food intake. A higher NCD-Risk score is closely related to higher ultra-processed food consumption. The NCD-Risk score is a score with a range from 0 to 9. It is a sub-component of the GDR score, and reflects adherence to global dietary recommendations on components of the diet to limit or avoid. A higher score indicates higher consumption of foods and drinks to avoid or limit, and correlates negatively with meeting global dietary recommendations. The NCD-Risk score is based on food consumption from 8 food groups to limit or avoid during the past day and night (one food group, processed meat, is double weighted). This is a negative indicator, and is expressed as the average score for the population.


Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR) score


The GDR score is a score with a range from 0 to 18 that indicates adherence to global dietary recommendations, which include dietary factors protective against non-communicable diseases. The higher the GDR score, the more recommendations are likely to be met. The GDR score is based on food group consumption during the past day and night. The GDR score is calculated as follows: NCD-Protect - NCD-Risk + 9 = GDR score It is expressed as the average score for the population.
