Two additional scores of adherence to the Mediterranean diet were applied: the Mediterranean Dietary Pattern Adherence Index (MDP) (Sanchez-Villegas et al, 2002) and the Mediterranean Adequacy Index (MAI) (Alberti-Fidanza and Fidanza, 2004).

Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was measured using different a priori scores proposed in the literature, that is, the MDS (Trichopoulou et al, 1995), the most commonly used index from epidemiological studies, and two additional scores, the MDP (Sanchez-Villegas et al, 2002) and the MAI (Alberti-Fidanza and Fidanza, 2004).
Interestingly, not even a VFA member company provided sufficient information in the observational plan to fulfill the six additional score items of the VFA/FSA recommendations, but at least two NIS sponsored by VFA member companies fulfilled five of the six additional score items.
