Frequency of consuming foods prepared away from home has been associated with lower diet quality among adults and adolescents in several earlier studies. Nutrient and food group intake and Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 scores were compared among a U.S. nationally representative sample of adolescents (12–19 years, n = 3975) by frequency of consuming food prepared away from home ≤2 times/week (n = 2311) versus >2 times/week (n = 1664) using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2011–2018. Regression analyses were used to compare intakes among adolescents by frequency of eating meals prepared away from home adjusting for covariates. Older (16–19 years) vs. younger (12–15 years) adolescents and those from homes with higher vs. lower family income to poverty ratios had greater frequency of eating meals prepared away from home. Intakes of nutrients of concern for adolescents including choline, vitamin D, potassium, magnesium, fiber, phosphorus, folate, iron, and total HEI-2015 scores and component scores for total vegetables, and greens and beans were lower among adolescents who consumed meals prepared away from home more vs. less often. However, no differences were noted among food group intakes considered good sources of nutrients of concern such as total fruit, total vegetables, whole grains, and total dairy, except for beans and peas by frequency of eating foods prepared away from home. Greater frequency of eating foods prepared away from home was associated with lower diet quality among adolescents in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adolescents.

ABSTRACT Background To date, Healthy Eating Index 2015 (HEI-2015) scores have not been published in the peer-reviewed literature for nationally representative samples of American children. Objective The aim of this study was to use the HEI-2015 to describe the diet quality of American children overall and within various sociodemographic populations. Design We used 3 cycles of NHANES dietary data sets (2009–2010, 2011–2012, and 2013–2014) to calculate HEI-2015 total and component scores by use of the population ratio method for children aged 2–18 y (n = 9000). Diet-quality scores were computed overall and by age (2–5, 6–11, and 12–18 y), gender, race or ethnicity (non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic white, Mexican American, other Hispanic, and other race), and family poverty-to-income ratio (below or at or above the poverty threshold). HEI-2015 mean total and component scores were computed along with 95% CIs. Results The HEI-2015 total mean score for children overall was 54.9 (range: 0–100). As the age group increased, the total scores decreased; the total mean score was significantly higher for children in the youngest age group compared with the 2 older age groups (60.1 compared with 53.9 compared with 52.0, respectively). The total mean score was significantly lower for non-Hispanic black children compared with Mexican American children, other Hispanic children, and children of other races (52.6 compared with 57.0, 56.8, and 57.1, respectively). The total mean score was significantly lower for non-Hispanic white children compared with Mexican-American children (54.2 compared with 57.0). No differences in total mean scores were apparent between boys and girls or between poverty threshold classes. The total mean scores for cross-classified sociodemographic characteristics generally followed the same patterns observed for single characteristics, with notable differences occurring within age and race or ethnicity classes. Conclusions The diet quality of American children remains low overall, with continued disparities across some sociodemographic populations, notably age and race or ethnicity. The results of these analyses can help guide the efforts of child nutrition researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders.

Dietary Data

Abstract Objectives Studies linking diet quality with environmental impacts in the US have generally not accounted for the additional burden associated with retail losses, inedible portions, and consumer waste. Moreover, there is a need to assess the environmental impacts of shifts in diet quality using data collected directly from individuals, rather than assessing the impacts of nutritionally perfect theoretical diets. This study fills these important research gaps by assessing the relationship between observed diet quality among a nationally-representative sample and the amount of agricultural resources used to produce food. Methods Dietary data from 50,014 individuals ≥2 y were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2005–2016), and diet quality was measured using the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI) and Alternate Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI). Food retail losses, inedible portions, and consumer waste were estimated by linking data from the USDA Loss-adjusted Food Availability data series with dietary data from NHANES. These data were input into the US Foodprint Model, which was modified to estimate the amount of agricultural resources needed to meet food demand. Results Daily per capita food demand represented nearly four pounds (1673 grams) of food, including 7% retail loss, 15% inedible, 24% consumer waste, and 54% consumption. Higher diet quality (HEI and AHEI) was associated with greater retail loss, inedible portions, consumer waste, and consumption (P < 0.001 for all). Higher diet quality was associated (P < 0.05) with lower use of agricultural land (HEI and AHEI), greater use of irrigation water and pesticides (HEI), and lower use of fertilizers (AHEI). Conclusions Among a nationally-representative sample of over 50 thousand Americans, higher diet quality was associated with greater food retail loss, inedible portions, consumer waste, and consumption. Higher diet quality was also associated with lower use of some agricultural resources (land and fertilizers), but greater use of others (irrigation water and pesticides). By combining robust measures of diet quality with an advanced food system modeling framework, this study reveals that the link between diet quality and environmental sustainability is more nuanced than previously understood.
