Dietary quality among men and women in 187 countries in 1990 and 2010: a systematic assessment.
Healthy dietary patterns are a global priority to reduce non-communicable diseases. Yet neither worldwide patterns of diets nor their trends with time are well established. We aimed to characterise global changes (or trends) in dietary patterns nationally and regionally and to assess heterogeneity by age, sex, national income, and type of dietary pattern. ⋯ The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Medical Research Council.
