Healthy Eating Index (HEI)
The HEI is a scoring metric that can be used to determine overall diet quality, as well as the quality of several dietary components. HEI–2020 is the most recent version of the index for the American population age 2 years and older, and new in 2023 is the HEI-Toddlers-2020, which was created to align with new dietary recommendations for infants and toddlers in the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Explore the HEIDNA Sequencing and Genotyping Services
Thirteen institutes at the NIH, including NCI, support a contract with the Center for Inherited Disease Research at The Johns Hopkins University that offers investigators access to next generation sequencing, genotyping, and statistical genetics services at a reduced cost.
