Mortality risk in relation to diet quality assessed by the 2023 nutri-score nutrient profiling model: a prospective analysis

In this Mediterranean cohort of older adults at high cardiovascular risk, lower dietary quality, assessed with the uNS-NPM DI, was prospectively associated with higher risks of all-cause, cardiovascular, and other-cause mortality. These findings support the uNS-NPM DI as a valuable tool for diet quality assessment.
