Research from a 2022 Harvard Health study found that people with higher Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) scores had a significantly lower risk of chronic diseases, including a 31% lower risk of coronary heart disease. This scoring system evaluates diet quality by assessing adherence to health-promoting and disease-preventing food and nutrient recommendations.

Research consistently shows that higher adherence to the Nordic diet is linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The healthy Nordic diet Index was developed by scientists to measure and quantify an individual's adherence to these specific, health-promoting dietary principles.
