About this study
Official title: A Pilot Study on the Association of Dietary Inflammatory Index and Healthy Eating Index-2015 With Body Composition in Female Nutrition and Dietetics Students
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relationship between diet quality and body composition in female university students. The main question it aims to answer is:
Is there a relationship between diet quality and body composition in female university students?
Participants will answer survey questions about sociodemographic characteristics. 24 hour dietary recalls will be taken to evaluate diet quality. Body composition will be assessed via Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Dietary Inflammatory Index
The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is a literature-derived scoring system that assesses the inflammatory potential of an individual's diet based on the intake of various nutrients and food components. Higher scores indicate a more pro-inflammatory diet, while lower scores indicate an anti-inflammatory one.
Measured: Baseline
Healthy eating index-2015
The Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) is a measure developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to assess how well an individual's dietary intake aligns with the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better adherence to dietary recommendations. Specifically, a score above 80 reflects "good" diet quality, scores between 51 and 80 suggest "moderate" quality, while scores of 50 or below are classified as "poor" diet quality.
