The Claim
In young Greek university students, a higher Food Compass Score (FCS) is not significantly associated with body mass index (BMI), as indicated by a partial correlation coefficient of 0.033 (p = 0.5).
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Among young Greek university students, the quality of diet measured by the Food Compass Score does not relate to body mass index.
See the scientific wording
In young Greek university students, a higher Food Compass Score (FCS) is not significantly associated with body mass index (BMI), with a partial correlation coefficient of 0.033 (p = 0.5), suggesting that FCS may reflect diet quality independently of weight status in this population.
People who eat a variety of healthy foods have bodies that regulate energy use and storage in a way that doesn't change their weight, because their metabolism adjusts to match what they eat without storing extra fat.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that among Greek college students, eating a healthier diet (measured by Food Compass Score) doesn’t mean you’re lighter or heavier — your weight doesn’t reliably go up or down with better food choices in this group.
