The Healthy Eating Food Index 2019

Health Canada has developed a series of research tools. These tools assess the extent a group of individuals are following Canada’s food guide:

1. Healthy Eating Food Index
2. Canadian Food Intake Screener
3. Canadian Eating Practices Screener

This page provides detailed information on the Healthy Eating Food Index (HEFI). The pdf document entitled "Calculating HEFI scores" describes how to calculate HEFI-2019 scores. The accompanying data files provide the user with the SAS macro and the information to apply the SAS macro.
