Poor diet continues to take a toll on American adults. Its a major risk factor for obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers, and more than one million Americans die every year from diet-related diseases,according to the Food and Drug Administration.

Poor diet and food insecurity is also costly, attributing to anestimated $1.1 trillion in healthcare expenditures and lost productivity. These burdens also contribute to major health disparities by income, education, zip code, race, and ethnicity.

In a study from the Food is Medicine Institute at theFriedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts Universitypublished today in theAnnals of Internal Medicine, researchers found that diet quality among U.S. adults improved modestly between 1999 and 2020. However, they also found that the number of Americans with poor diet quality remains stubbornly high. Most notably, disparities persist and, in some cases, are worsening.

While weve seen some modest improvement in American diets in the last two decades, those improvements are not reaching everyone, and many Americans are eating worse, saysDariush Mozaffarian, cardiologist and director of the Food is Medicine Institute, and senior author on the study.

Our new research shows that the nation cant achieve nutritional and health equity until we address the barriers many Americans face when it comes to accessing and eating nourishing food. -Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DrPH

In the study, researchers investigated data from 10 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1999 and 2020, a nationally representative survey that includes repeated 24-hour dietary recalls, where people report all foods and beverages consumed during the priorday. The study analyzed 51,703 adults who completed at least one valid 24-hour recall, with 72.6% having done two recalls.
