-The LLDS was developed by the UMCG [[https://​www.rug.nl/​research/​epidemiology/?​lang=en|department of epidemiology]] and is a fully food-based and evidence-based tool to assess relative diet quality. Its highest scores represent diets expected to be most beneficial in light of the prevention of nutrition-related chronic diseases.

The LLDS is developed for use in scientific research, in which it can both be used  as a primary determinant as well as for adjustment. ​On the Lifelines data, the [[Dutch Healthy Diet index]] has been developed as well, which is a tool to assess a participant'​s own diet quality and adherence to the 2015 Dutch dietary guidelines.
  
 +The LLDS can be requested in the Lifelines catalogue or by mail (data@lifelines.nl).When this data has been used in your research, you will have to include a reference to the the following paper:

-The LLDS is based on the 2015 Dutch Dietary Guidelines and underlying literature, and consists of 12 food groups for which there is consensus regarding their health effectsNine food groups with positive ​(vegetablesfruitwhole grain productslegumes&​nutsfishoils&​soft margarinesunsweetened dairycoffee and tea) and three food groups with negative health effects ​(red&​processed meatbutter&​hard margarines ​and sugar-sweetened beverages) are included in the score. In Lifelines, the LLDS can be calculated based in the baseline 110-item food frequency questionnaire (the heart of the flower-leaf FFQ). Per food group, the intake in grams per 1000 kcal iscategorized ​into quintiles, awarded 0 to 4 points (negative groups scored inversely) and summed. More detailed information regarding the development and application of the Lifelines Diet Score can be found in the paper referenced below. ​+The LLDS is based on the [[https://​www.healthcouncil.nl/​documents/​advisory-reports/​2015/​11/​04/​dutch-dietary-guidelines-2015|2015 Dutch Dietary Guidelines]] and underlying literature, and consists of 12 food groups for which there is consensus regarding their health effects:\\

 Based on literature available on associations between diet quality and socio-demographic characteristics,​ it was hypothesized that the LLDS should be higher in women, participants with higher educational level and in older individuals. These hypothesis were confirmed upon the application of the LLDS in 129.363 adult Lifelines participants with reliable FFQ data, which contributes to the construct validity of the LLDS.  Based on literature available on associations between diet quality and socio-demographic characteristics,​ it was hypothesized that the LLDS should be higher in women, participants with higher educational level and in older individuals.

 Additionally,​ the validity &​reliability of the LLDS depends on the Lifelines [[FFQ]] which it is based on. Additionally,​ the validity &​reliability of the LLDS depends on the Lifelines [[FFQ]] which it is based on.
