The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) 2015 measures compliance with the 2015 to 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans but requires completion of an extensive diet assessment to compute, which is time consuming and impractical. The authors hypothesize that a 19\u2010item dietary survey assessing consumption of common food groups known to affect health will be correlated with the HEI\u20102015 assessed by a validated food frequency questionnaire and can be further reduced without affecting validity.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n            <jats:title>Methods and Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">\n              A 19\u2010item Eating Assessment Tool (EAT) of common food groups was created through literature review and expert consensus. A cross\u2010sectional survey was then conducted in adult participants from a preventive cardiology clinic or cardiac rehabilitation and in healthy volunteers (n=661, mean age, 36\u2009years; 76% women). Participants completed an online 156\u2010item food frequency questionnaire, which was used to calculate the HEI score using standard methods. The association between each EAT question and HEI group was analyzed by Kruskal\u2010Wallis test. Linear regression models were subsequently used to identify univariable and multivariable predictors for HEI score for further reduction in the number of items. The final 9\u2010item model of Mini\u2010EAT was validated by 5\u2010fold cross validation. The 19\u2010item EAT had a strong correlation with the HEI score (\n              <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.73) and was subsequently reduced to the 9 items independently predictive of the HEI score: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, refined grains, fish or seafood, legumes\/nuts\/seeds, low\u2010fat dairy, high\u2010fat dairy, and sweets consumption, without affecting the predictive ability of the tool (\n              <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.71).\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">Mini\u2010EAT is a 9\u2010item validated brief dietary screener that correlates well with a comprehensive food frequency questionnaire.
