Abstract

56% of adolescents reported a good self-perceived diet quality.

  • Good self-perceived diet quality is linked to regular consumption of fruits and vegetables.
  • High scores on the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index are associated with better meal profiles.
  • The simplified question used to assess diet quality showed a sensitivity of 28% for identifying good quality diets.
  • Specificity for detecting low nutritional value diets was found to be 79%.
  • Adolescents did not recognize high-fat, high-sugar, and high-sodium food consumption as indicators of low diet quality.
