This study explores the correlation between adherence to the New Nordic Diet (NND) and overall diet quality. Through food frequency questionnaires and dietary recalls among Norwegian parents, the research finds that high NND adherence is associated with greater fruit and fiber intake and lower meat consumption. The study underscores the potential of the NND to promote balanced, nutrient-rich diets aligned with Nordic dietary guidelines, though further research is needed to address varying adherence levels.
