Age-adjusted associations between quintiles of the GDQS (red) and MDD-W (blue) compared with overall nutrient adequacy, low midupper arm circumference (MUAC), and anemia in rural sub-Saharan African adults. Overall nutrient adequacy (ONA) defined as energy-adjusted number of adequate nutrients (out of 8). Low MUAC defined as <25.5 cm in men and <24.5 cm in women. Anemia defined as <13 g/dL in men and <12 g/dL in women (altitude-adjusted). GDQS quintiles correspond to scores <18.8, 18.9–21.3, 21.3–23.5, 23.5–26.5, and >26.5 in men; and <19.0, 19.0–21.3, 21.3–23.5, 23.5–26.3, and >26.3 in women. MDD-W quintiles correspond to scores <5, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, and >7 in men and women. All Wald tests comparing linear trends across quintiles between the GDQS and MDD-W were nonsignificant (P ≥ 0.05). EMM, estimated marginal mean, GDQS, Global Diet Quality Score; MDD-W, Minimum Dietary Diversity–Women; Q, quintile.
