Background: In 2017, 42.8% of older adults were considered obese, compared to 31.6% in 2002. Obesity also increases the risk of other diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. HEI scores are used to evaluate a set of foods using a 0-100 scoring system. The average score for Americans from data from 2015 is 59 out of 100 indicating the American diet does not align well with the guidelines. Research Question: Does a weight loss intervention program for older adults also have potential to increase participants\u2019 Healthy Eating Index scores? Methods: A sample of 38 overweight, older adults completed 3-24 hour diet recalls with specific dietary intakes analyzed both pre-intervention and post-intervention in NDSR 2017 software. Average nutrient reports and average food group count reports were used to calculate HEI scores using the National Cancer Institute population ratio methods. HEI scores were recorded for pre-intervention and post-intervention across four groups, DIET, DEX, EX, and CON. A 1 factor ANOVA test and post-hoc Tukey comparison between treatment groups were conducted.Results: DEX was the only group with notable HEI score differences pre to post. There was no evidence to conclude there is a difference between pre and post scores for any other treatment group in the study. There was no evidence towards differences between HEI scores determined by Gender or Age. While there is no statistical difference within groups from pre to post, post hoc Tukey comparisons indicate a difference between Control and DEX groups. Discussion: The difference between CON and DEX groups may support weight loss intervention association with healthy eating behaviors. Though there is no significant correlation in the findings, it may pose future research questions and implications for weight loss intervention practices for dietitians and health professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
