AB Background & aim: A diet quality index (DQI) is a tool that provides an overall score of an individual'sdietary intake when assessing compliance with food-based dietary guidelines. A number of DQIs haveemerged, albeit their associations with health-related outcomes are debated. The aim of the presentstudy was to assess whether adherence to dietary intervention, and the overall quality of the diet, canpredict body composition changes.Methods: To this purpose, overweight/obese adolescents (n ¼ 117, aged: 13e16 years; 51 males, 66 females) were recruited into a multi-component (diet, physical activity and psychological support) familybased group treatment programme. We measured the adolescents' compliance and body composition atbaseline and after 2 months (intensive phase) and 13 months (extensive phase) of follow-up. Also, atbaseline, after 6 months, and at the end of follow-up we calculated the DQI.Results: Global compliance with the dietary intervention was 37.4% during the intensive phase, and 14.3%during the extensive phase. Physical activity compliance was 94.1% at 2-months and 34.7% at 13monthsand psychological support compliance were growing over the intervention period (10.3% intensive phaseand 45.3% during extensive phase). Adolescents complying with the meal frequency criteria at the end ofthe extensive phase had greater reductions in FMI z-scores than those did not complying (Cohen'sd ¼ 0.53). A statistically significant association was observed with the diet quality index. DQI-A variationexplained 98.1% of BMI z-score changes and 95.1% of FMI changes.
