The nurse is assessing a woman's risk for the development of a chronic disease. The patient reports ten years ago, she had scored very high on the Healthy Eating Index
Which of the following concepts about chronic disease prevention and the Healthy Eating Index is important for the nurse to understand? 1. Women can greatly reduce their risk for developing a chronic disease when they follow the USDA dietary guidelines. 2. A high score on the Healthy Eating Index indicates the woman was not following the USDA's dietary guidelines. 3. When compared to women, men can experience a more significant reduction in their risk for developing a chronic disease when they closely follow the USDA dietary guidelines. 4. Following the USDA dietary guidelines has been found to have no impact on reducing the risk of developing a chronic disease in men and women.
3 Rationale: Research has shown that men who scored highest on the Healthy Eating Index had an 11% reduction in their risk for developing a chronic disease. Women who scored highest on the Health Eating Index only reduced their risk for developing a chronic disease by 3%. The assessment is scored from 0 to 100. If an individual scores of 100, it means that the person is totally compliant with the USDA's dietary guidelines.
