The proportion of adults with poor diets decreased from 48.8% to 36.7% over 20 years, but the experts say more must be done, particularly related to food insecurity.
The good news? American diets have moved in a healthier direction over the last two decades. The bad news? Food insecurity issues seem to have stayed put in the same span.
The study's data included information from 51,703 subjects who took part in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between the two decades, in which respondents were asked to report all the foods and beverages they consumed during the previous day. Specific trends the study noted included a higher intake of"ideal" diet foods including nuts/seeds, whole grains, poultry, cheese and eggs and a lower intake of poorer foods included fruit juice, milk, drinks with added sugar and refined grains. Meanwhile, total consumption of fruits, vegetables, processed meat, fish/shellfish, potassium and sodium were relatively stable.
