MIND Diet Score at a glance
Mediterranean-DASH hybrid for brain health: 15 components.
This page works the target the other way around: instead of quoting a population average, the MIND Diet Score asks for your age and body weight, then scales the reference guidance to your own circumstances. Nothing here is a black box - the score is the plain sum of your answers above, each worth 0, 0.5 or 1 exactly as the published MIND rubric scores it, so the result matches what you would tally on paper.
About MIND Diet Score
Mediterranean-DASH hybrid for brain health: 15 components.
This diet calculator helps you assess, plan, or optimize a specific dietary pattern. Diet quality is one of the strongest modifiable risk factors for chronic disease, research consistently shows that what you eat matters more than precise calorie counting for long-term health outcomes.
Evidence base
This calculator is based on validated dietary assessment tools and evidence from large cohort studies (Nurses' Health Study, EPIC, PREDIMED) and randomized controlled trials. Each dietary pattern has a unique evidence base for specific health outcomes.
Practical application
Use the result to identify areas for dietary improvement. Focus on one or two changes at a time rather than overhauling your entire diet. Sustainable changes produce better long-term results than dramatic overhauls that last only a few weeks.
Formula sources, population limits, and references for this diet pattern calculator are documented in our public methodology. Read the methodology · Medical disclaimer
