  abstract = {{D}ietary diversity has long been recognized as a key component of diet quality and many dietary diversity indicators ({DDI}s) have been developed. {T}his systematic scoping review aimed to present a comprehensive inventory of {DDI}s and summarize evidence linking {DDI}s and dietary adequacy or health outcomes in adolescents and adults. {T}wo search strategies were developed to identify peer-reviewed articles published in {E}nglish up until {J}une 2018 and were applied to {M}edline, {W}eb of {S}cience, and {S}copus. {A} 2-stage screening process was used to select the studies to be reviewed. {F}our types of {DDI}s were identified among 161 articles, the majority of them belonging to the food group-based indicator type (n = 106 articles). {F}ifty studies indicated that {DDI}s were proxies of nutrient adequacy, but there was a lack of evidence about their relation with nutrients to limit. {A}ssociations between {DDI}s and health outcomes were largely inconsistent among 137 studies, especially when the outcomes studied were body weight (n = 60) and noncommunicable diseases (n = 41). {W}e conclude that the ability of {DDI}s to reflect diet quality was found to be principally limited to micronutrient adequacy and that {DDI}s do not readily relate to health outcomes. {T}hese findings have implications for studies in low- and lower-middle-income economies where {DDI}s are often used to assess dietary patterns and overall diet quality.},
