Abstract

This cross-sectional study found that multiple individual-level socioeconomic and geographic variables were independently associated with poor diet quality among a large, racially and ethnically and geographically diverse US cohort. These findings could help to identify groups at highest risk of outcomes associated with poor diet to inform future approaches for advancing health equity.
