Title: Association between diet quality, dietary patterns and cardiometabolic health in Australian adults: a cross-sectional study Version: 0 Date: 01 Nov 2017 Reviewer: Melanie Deschasaux Reviewer’s report: This is an interesting paper reporting on the association between diet and markers of cardiometabolic health. Strengths of this study pertains to the use of several methodological approaches to characterize the "whole diet" of participants including a rather novel RRR approach to derive a posteriori dietary patterns and an a priori approach using the Dietary Guideline index (DGI), both approaches being used in a same representative population.
