Food intake was assessed with a Food-Frequency Questionnaire at age 8\u00a0years. A diet quality score (0\u201310) was calculated reflecting adherence to age-specific dietary guidelines. The following outcome variables were measured at age 10\u00a0years and used to create a continuous cardiometabolic risk factor score: body fat percentage, insulin, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Outcomes were expressed in age- and sex-specific standard deviation scores (SDS). Multivariable linear regression models were used to assess associations between the diet quality score and the cardiometabolic risk factor score and with the individual cardiometabolic risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In models adjusted for socioeconomic and lifestyle factors and BMI, a higher diet quality was associated with a lower cardiometabolic risk factor score [\u2212 0.08 per point higher diet score, (95% CI \u2212 0.15, \u2212 0.001)]. This association was mainly driven by associations of higher diet quality with lower systolic [\u2212 0.04 SD (95% CI \u2212 0.06, \u2212 0.01)] and diastolic blood pressure [\u2212 0.05 SD, (95% CI \u2212 0.07, \u2212 0.02)].
