Abstract

<p>Objective: This study examined relationships between diet quality and adequacy of nutrient intake among female aesthetic athlete in junior high and high school.</p><p>Methods: A total of 133 female athletes from aesthetic sports clubs in junior high and high school were asked to complete a brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ). Of these, 104 athletes completed the BDHQ and were included in subsequent analyses. Diet quality was assessed using modified-Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top (JFG) score, and the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) score calculated using nutrient intake data from the BDHQ. Adequacy of nutrient intake was evaluated using standards in "Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese, 2020: estimated average requirement (EAR) and tentative dietary goal for preventing life-style related diseases (DG)." Based on their scores, participants were assigned to one of three groups, and adequacy of nutrient intake was compared.</p><p>Results: Groups were compared for total number of nutrients not meeting EAR and DG. Groups with higher scores demonstrated more adequate nutrient intake than groups with lower scores, in terms of both EAR and DG.</p><p>Conclusions: This study suggests that higher modified-JFG and HEI-2015 scores are associated with more adequate nutrient intake.</p>
