Association between diet quality and measures of body adiposity using the Rate Your Plate survey in patients presenting for coronary angiography.BACKGROUND
 Research should evaluate the effectiveness of these tools, such as Rate Your Plate (RYP), in the clinical setting.



Rate Your Plate
Diet is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, dietary patterns are historically difficult to capture in the clinical setting.  Healthcare providers need assessment tools that can quickly summarize dietary patterns.  Research should evaluate the effectiveness of these tools, such as Rate Your Plate (RYP), in the clinical setting.


 RYP diet quality scores are associated with measures of body adiposity in patients referred for coronary angiography.


 Participants completed a 24-question RYP diet survey.  RYP is a potential instrument to capture diet quality in a high-volume clinical setting.  Further research should evaluate the utility of RYP in cardiovascular risk-factor control.
