This document outlines the development and validation of two indices – a diet index and a lifestyle index – based on Norwegian dietary and lifestyle guidelines. These indices assess adherence to national recommendations and were evaluated using data from the Norkost3 survey. Findings highlight low adherence to diet and lifestyle guidelines among the Norwegian adult population, pointing to a need for public health interventions targeting these areas to improve health outcomes.
