A study conducted by the Food is Medicine Institute at Tufts University found that while there has been some improvement in the quality of American diets from 1999 to 2020, disparities persist in marginalized communities. Poor diets continue to be a major risk factor for various health conditions, with over one million Americans dying annually from diet-related diseases. The study revealed that overall diet quality has slightly improved, but many Americans still have poor diet quality. These improvements were more significant among certain demographics, highlighting the need for addressing nutrition security and social determinants of health to combat the ongoing national nutrition crisis.
