Muhtasari	The NLAI is a 26-item validated instrument measuring nutrition literacy—the ability to understand nutrition information and use it to make healthy food choices. Developed by Diamond and refined through validation studies by Rothman and colleagues, the NLAI evaluates comprehension of nutrition labels, understanding of portion sizes, knowledge of daily values, and ability to interpret nutrient claims. Nutrition literacy is a critical determinant of dietary quality and health outcomes, particularly in populations with low general literacy or limited numeracy.	The HDDS is a simple, 12-item food group checklist that captures the diversity of the household diet in the preceding 24 hours. Developed by the FAO in 2011 as a proxy indicator of dietary quality and nutrient adequacy, the HDDS enables rapid assessment of the nutritional vulnerability of households in resource-limited settings. A household with access to foods from many groups is more likely to consume adequate calories, protein, and micronutrients.
