Assessing the Efficacy of Nutritional Rating Systems in Altering Unhealthy Dietary Patterns: A Registered Dietitian's Perspective

On the basis of the rates of obesity and other chronic diseases in the United States, the appropriate tools for adopting healthier lifestyles are needed. The objective of this project was to compile information from registered dietitians regarding the efficacy of 5 nutritional rating systems for altering unhealthy dietary patterns. A validated electronic survey was administered through an electronic survey system to all US-based registered dietitians (n = 90 224). Findings indicate that nutrient-specific rating systems were more likely to be effective in altering unhealthy dietary patterns than summary indicator nutritional ratings systems (P < .001) when analyzing data by region and experience.
